March 26, 2026 - Pedaal, a retail bike shop based in Toronto, has been appointed as Brompton’s exclusive Canadian distributor according their blog, “After two decades of patchwork importing, exchange-rate volatility, and retailers acting as their own freight brokers, Brompton Bicycle in Canada now has a home.”

Pedaal is an official Brompton Gold Dealer, and co-owners, Eric Kamphof and Timm Harding, have been working with the brand since the early 2000s. This appointment is the result of their long relationship with Brompton and a commitment to building the category in Canada.

“For the first time, one of the world’s most influential urban mobility brands will move through a centralized Canadian warehouse, priced in Canadian dollars and supplied to retailers across the country with predictable lead times and domestic warranty support,” reads the blog.

Award-winning Brompton Bicycles are sold in 47 countries around the world, and the company works directly with retail shops, distributors and Brompton Junction stores, which now total 16 in cities across the globe.

While supply and distribution has been patchy and inconsistent in Canada, the brand remains popular, and Pedaal’s new mandate is to deliver a coherent system that engineers growth.

Under the new model, Brompton bikes and parts will move through a centralized Canadian import channel and warehouse, supplied to retailers in Canadian dollars, at consistent national pricing, with predictable replenishment and domestic lead times. Warranty support and essential service parts will also ship within Canada.

“The last mile isn’t a theory problem,” says Kamphof. “We already know the solution works. But, if people can’t get the product, the use case never scales. Our first job is to make sure Brompton is here, in stock, and ready to move.”

Founded in the UK back in 1975 by Andrew Ritchie, a young engineer, the ingenious 3-part fold system, that compacts in under 20 seconds delivers a unique, lightweight and portable bicycle for commuting, hopping on transit, or for riders who are short on storage space.

Pedaal will offer the storied brand’s complete lineup including Brompton’s electric models. The new distribution set-up was made possible by a significant loan from the Business Development Bank of Canada. The United Kingdom is a preferred Canadian trading partner, a relationship that takes on added significance as Canada works to reduce its economic reliance on the United States.

“The goal is growth. Our cities are still investing in transit and active transportation and Brompton has always made practical sense. Now the brand is fully on Canadian soil, backed by financing, warehousing, and a trade-aligned pathway to the United Kingdom,” concludes the Pedaal blog.
