With apologies to those hoping to read about Toseven, here's a French firm 'improving' the Tongsheng. https://ebiketips.road.cc/content/news/virvolt-900-a-lightweight-repairable-e-bike-conversion-kit-4473...

What does "3 Inner shifts" mean? (L7 hub motor)

https://flit.bike/outlet/ Very favourable reviews from more than one site. 16" wheels (same as Brompton) are fine on-road. Ex-demo bikes may be a bit above your preferred price, but there's no harm in asking what's available.

There are doors (ie full enclosure)in some of the photos, and there are trailers - but I agree it seems to need a bit more on-board cargo space. 250w motor plus pedal power should be plenty for an aerodynamic velo.

There is scope here for an enterprising vendor to commission the development of a properly tested and certified battery using LiFePO4 cells, which do NOT have the same unstoppable-fire risk. It'll be a bit bigger (12 cells for true 36volt) and heavier for a given Wh capacity, and it may need a...

Flit 16 (yes, 16" wheels same as Brompton) is designed to roll on one wheel. https://flitbike.zohodesk.eu/portal/en/kb/articles/how-to-roll-your-flit-16-21-7-2021 I've often ridden mine 16-20km without problems.

> And one last question have you considered any other affordable ebikes which suit your use case more? Look at FLIT 16 - more affordable than Brompton electric, and well-reviewed. https://flit.bike/

Sunstar's documentation didn't keep pace with product development (my higher-voltage battery and LCD display didn't feature in any of the info that I had with the conversion). Nonetheless, perhaps your dead battery was one of those here? (If there's interest, I could try to find a backup copy...

That looks like a 'Voltage 1' error. If still stuck, try the people who were the importers: https://www.electricbikesales.co.uk/pages/contact/
