Hi, I think I have an issue with my pline. When it's folded the chain is floppy, this makes it occasionally fall off when unfolding the bike. Can anyone spot something wrong? Thanks

The chain should be higher off the ground when unfolded so definitely not enough tension when unfolded or folded.
Look at the chain tensioner. Something looks off. Compare it to an image online
It definitely should not be floppy. Looking at my 6-speed C-line, there is chain tensioner that picks up the slack when the bike is folded. I would assume same should happen for your bike.
Chain is too long.
Is the chain routed correctly?
Have you swapped the chain at any time?
With the rear wheel folded, the tensioner looks like its reached max, but the chain is still really slack.
And with the wheel unfolded the tensioner is near vertical, when it ought to be close to horizontal.
Too long chain maybe ?

the chain doesn’t seem to routed through your derailleur correctly.
Trust me,Your chain routing is incorrect..look carefully and please google some p-line image for your references how the chain should route through the derailleur..
