Founder & Owner, Bromptonic • Founder of IMAGINIF

JP has been a Brompton rider since 2011, when he bought his first folding bike. After it was stolen, he replaced it with a C-Line 6-speed with H-type handlebars — still his trusted companion today. That personal journey with Brompton bikes taught him something simple but powerful: the right accessories don’t just improve a bike, they improve daily life.

In 2019, JP founded Bromptonic with a promise: Personal Support since 2019. What started as a small side project quickly grew into a trusted online store and global community for Brompton riders. Every product is tested, every question answered with care, and every rider treated as part of the community rather than just another customer.

Alongside Bromptonic, JP is also the founder of IMAGINIF, a Brussels-based design agency specializing in retail store design and brand experiences. With years of expertise in how people interact with products, spaces, and design, he brings a unique eye for functionality, detail, and style into the world of Brompton accessories.

Today, Bromptonic is more than just an accessory shop — it’s a reflection of JP’s two passions: designing better spacesand helping riders get more out of their bikes. Whether it’s through product guides, personal support, or rider stories, his mission remains the same: making Brompton life easier, smarter, and more iconic.

Personal Support since 2019. Always.

Brompton carry handles are by many Brompton fans seen as a non-necessary item since the Brompton does have a built-in handle on the seat for holding it when folded.However, in our opinion, that is not always true. The best example is a comment from our client, Mikael from Sweden and I quote: "Really want that strap. The electric Brompton has some...
