Vektron Models:
- A Folding Bike Activated by Bosch: Bosch's new Active Line motor is paired with a 400 Wh Powerpack to bring the Tern folder to life!
- New for 2019! Inspired by the GSD, (Tern's massively popular small-wheeled cargo bike) the Vektron's rear rack is completely redesigned, allowing for a sleeker look, more responsive performance, and better weight distribution. This new rack is also child-seat ready, ultra-strong, and KlickFix compatible.
- Take It Everywhere: Compact folding reduces the Vektron to the size of a small suitcase, enabling you to bring your bike on public transportation, into a car, office, or your home. Unfolded you have a bike that rides like a great full-sized city bike, quick, sporty, responsive and stable. No compromises here.
- Enhanced Climbing Ability: The smaller 20" wheels make this bike a compact folder, and also enhance climbing performance, making hills a cinch.
- Size Agnostic: Adjusts in seconds to fit riders 147 – 195 cm (4’10” – 6’5”.) A single bike can be shared multiple riders, making the Vektron a bike any family can benefit from owning, and a great bike to share with friends and visitors.
- New! Ultra Powerful Magura Disc Brakes: The 2019 Vektron S10 features Magura MT4 disc brakes front and rear. Maximum stopping power, even coming down steep hills.
- A Folding Bike without the compromses: Tern's T-Tuned geometry means that the Vektron rides like a great bike, period. It's a great bike that happens to also fold, and this opens limitless possibilities for personal mobility.
- It Really Hauls: The proprietary Tern Rear Cargo Rack™ works seamlessly with Yepp child seats for carrying kids, and also with standard bags and custom Tern accessories for maximum utility.
- Let There Be Light: Valo™ lighting system, with 150 lumens of power, for 24-hour visibility front and rear. Ride with confidence you can see and be seen.
- A Warranty You Can Trust: Tern's warranty is backed by The New Wheel True Warranty™ and upheld by our professional service department. Includes 5-year frame coverage, (10 years if you register with Tern), 2 years for the electrical system including the battery, and original warranty for all other components (some exceptions apply).

Our Take
The Tern Vektron combines a serious folding commuter bike and the new more powerful Bosch Active Line Plus drive system to create a bike that our customers have been asking for: a folding bike that is simply just a great bike for riding in any situation, and that will climb any hill.
We love the Vektron's fun and sporty ride. The folding feature is a bonus that in no way detracts from this bike's great performance. The 20″ wheels lower your center of gravity and give you snappy performance and hill-climbing advantage, but the Vektron's full-sized wheelbase make it ride as well as any other quality full-sized commuter bike. No surprise here–Tern’s design team is 100% committed to the folding commute market.
Tern's Vektron features the OCL+ hinge that’s overbuilt and effectively indestructible. Although it folds and unfolds quickly and easily, when locked into place the frame is stiff and stable for fast commutes.
