The unfortunate thing exactly happened on me. The mount of my front light scratched the frame when I folded the bike and put it into the trunk of my car.
When I took the bike to a nearby bike shop for upgrades, they noticed the scratches and told me that there is a little bottle of original paint included with each Birdy - this is when I found that the bike shop that I bought my Birdy didn’t give me that bottle of paint. I called them several times and they finally “found” the paint and returned it to me. I tried to fix the scratched part myself but the effect is not optimal. A very hard lesson learnt - think twice before adding accessories to your bike if you need to fold it.
Huh, I'm pretty sure I didn't get that bottle, either. But I could have forgotten it. If I were to replace the light I would put one on the handlepost, above any lowrider cargo but below the handlebar bag I sometimes use. So it would be mounted low on the handlepost. But that's a precarious position when folding. I might then have to somehow fold the light mount as well. It would complicate things.
