With Tern’s famous folding bike engineering, the Tern Vektron is much more than ‘just a bike’. For Ross his Vektron is his way to get to work, his shopping vehicle, an extra 'vehicle' for his family, his daily exercise, a source of joy, and his way of taking some action towards a more sustainable life.
Ross has owned his Tern Vektron Q9 ebike for three months now. His work is 14kms from home and he used to try to ride his bike twice a week and caught the train the other three days. Three months into owning his ebike and he is riding every day now now: 14km to work three times a week (and 14km back) and riding to the train the other two days.
Plus, he rides a lot more on the weekends now as well. Instead of driving, he rides his ebike to the local farmers markets that are that bit further away and also pops down to the local supermarket when he needs to.
Here is what Ross had to say when asked why he loves his Tern Vektron:
I now ride every day without using the excuses that regularly landed me on the train to CBD instead: no longer sardined under someone’s armpit, and I can sing if I choose!
My environmentally-conscious children love it, and it feels pretty good to me too!
The Tern Vektron is a high quality, 20" wheel electric bike that can fold down into a neat, compact size in seconds. Tern set out to make it a highly durable, multi-purpose ebike that rides brilliantly, even for longer distances, despite the fact that it folds. They succeeded. It rides beautifully and is so easy to manage.
The Vektron is the only folding electric bike currently available that is powered by the Bosch mid-drive system. Therefore as well as having the best electric drive system available, it is reliable and easy to service if you plan to travel.
Tern also has a great range of really useful accessories. So, with it being engineered to carry cargo, fold away as well as provide a great riding experience, the Vektron becomes much more than 'just a bike'. It is exceptionally useful and fun and will last over the long term, which makes it an excellent economical choice as well.
Tern Bicycles offers an excellent selection of mid-drive compact and folding electric bikes which range from long tail cargo carriers to compact folding ebikes such as the Vektron e-bikes. Here are the Tern Vektron ebike models that are powered by the Bosch mid-drive system:
