Its possible to fit an additional quill type stem (often found on budget bikes) by taking off cap and punching down the spider nut. You can then fit two sets of handlebars, the upper as usual but a lower cut down set of bars on a shorter stem to support the basket as shown incomplete below.
Stem 120mm -> 40mm saves 80mm, basket length ~250mm, hmm. How about a child seat clamp around the head tube so as to frame mount the basket?
They are still in China. Tongsheng told me they should be ready about now, then 5 weeks at sea. I will check with the sales rep tomorrow. The torque sensor kits for hub motors arrived this morning. Andy is testing it on his bike.
Oh I dunno... after a thorough clean with isopropyl alcohol, my Aldi bike stand (with admittedly poorly made clamps) held my 24.41kg+ bike with battery attached steady enough with me operating the throttle to update my thoroughly underwhelming and supremely boring Aldi spoke light video. The throttle was in my hand not on the handlebar, and I wasn't holding the bike. For more joined up patterns I'd need to derestrict for over 20mph and use Magic Lantern firmware on the camera, not that I plan to do either for this. Perhaps you should have kept your Dahon Jetstream? (Which wasn't actually designed by Dahon, according to @Bonzo Banana)
