2021 TERN VEKTRON MODELS
- Tern Vektron Q9: Featuring Bosch's Active Line motor is paired with a 400 Wh Powerpack to bring the Tern folder to life!
- Tern Vektron S10: Redesigned for 2021, the Tern Vektron S10 features a more powerful Bosch Performance Line Motor (Gen3) and a 500 Wh PowerPack for added range.
- 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.
- Powerful Magura Disc Brakes: The Vektron S10 features Magura MT4 disc brakes front and rear. Maximum stopping power, even coming down steep hills.
- A Folding Bike without the compromises: 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
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.
The Vektron cockpit is longer for improved comfort for taller riders. The frame has been designed with additional forged and machined elements for additional strength without extra weight.
Most noticeably, the battery now reclines backwards, keeping the center of gravity as low as possible for superior handling.
Vektron is ideal for carrying small kids, fitting a wide range of riders, or as a "first car" for teenagers looking for more vehicular independence.
