At risk of sounding dense, what do you actually consider pedal failure?
Not free spinning? Binding?
Falling off spindle?
Breakage at fold?
I'm not trying to come across as dense but I have multiple foldies with a broad range of pedals and, while some of them don't free spin, they'll seem to work and haven't broken.
Since these bikes are not particularly efficient I don't tend to be as critical of bearing function short of failure like I do on lightweight full-size bikes.
