Hello per this thread:

Please add the battery information to the UK Electric Bike Law Guide
Unfortunately you want everything...
- Cheap new bicycle with work subsidy
- Multi-purpose (road and off-road)
- Powerful and fast
- Throttle
- Comfortable and sturdy
This is an impossible want list even for non-electric push-bikes. Compromises will have to be made.
To do powerful and fastly...
I wonder how much it costs - in money, effort, and time - to introduce and pass this legislation.
Divided by the actual number of cases - an example of government waste.
The Bafang pawl-clutch is a simple and robust engineering solution - I wonder if they make them specially?.

You can fit aftermarket folding pedals to existing bicycles - useful if you need to store your ordinary bike indoors (I use Wellgo F265s which are metal). Easier to get through doorways and you won't catch your shins as you go past.
I'd actually suggest buying a second-hand folding bicycle from...
Yup. But can be nice to rest the eyes on a different nugget of information (sparingly).

- - good for ocd 'must match' purpose
- - one might be too little for typical journey necessitating always...
Prompted by:
- E-S: "New" TSDZ2 with "old" controller?
Question changes to:
Does anyone know/think/agree that I could put a pre-2020 ECU into the new version 2?
- If so then it might be worth getting the version 2 for the low-pedal resistance and then replace with older 2020 ECU for the OSF...
Does anyone know/think/agree that I could put a pre-2022 ECU into the version 2?
If so then it might be worth getting the version 2 for the low-pedal resistance and then replace with older ECU for the OSF firmware capability.
My notes on TSDZ2 versions:
TSDZ2 version 1
- to June-2022:
- 36V...
