Its a very good idea, it demonstrate that its possible to integrate a mid drive motor in a tri-fold with a small folded size.

When the new eBirdy was announced, it was with a mid drive motor too, a Bosch Performance Line SX which with the TQ HPR60 and Fazua Ride 60 fits very well for a folding bike due to their small size and low weight (with an advantage for the Bosch which is much more powerful than the TQ and Fazua, i.e. 600W peak and exists in 28mph under the name Performance Line Sprint).
But, unfortunately, when the eBirdy called Birdy H was eventually presented at the Taipei Cycle Show 2026, it was with a Mahle X30 rear hub motor.

The potential issue with this Upland is the type of mid motor mounted and the weight of this motor.

Its obviously not a Bosch nor a TQ and also not a Fazua Ride 60 and I do not know any other mid drive motor weighting 2kg or less ?
