I suppose if you were in an accident, it could become an issue, but otherwise, it's not exactly like the nano Brompton was a speed demon. I'm not condoning breaking the law, just pointing out the obvious.

For anyone who wants to read a good review of the original nano Brompton from my fave A to B magazine:

The legal limit is on the motor not the battery. The battery for that Nano was 266Wh, which is on the low side, but good for weight and cost savings.
