Sold Tern Vektron S10 folding E bike.

[dicktheleg]

I bought this (used) from this very site for my wife a couple of years ago and I think she’s done maybe 25 miles on it.

It’s in excellent condition and comes with loads of spares and extra bits.

Original and comfort saddle, charger, all manuals, new unused rear cassette, spare tubes, little carry bag etc etc.

It has a huge range of adjustments so it will literally fit a child up to a large adult.

Folds up nice and small and will fit in a car boot easily.

Complete with lights, 10 speeds and several power modes including a walk assist mode.

New this would cost in excess of £4000 and I can’t find another used one for sale anywhere.

Located North Worcestershire.

£1650.

Good price. Tern were my preferred e bike when I was looking for a fold up but out of my price range. They make great bikes. GLWS

In case anyone is dithering or curious I'll pen a few thoughts..I have owned and used a folding e bike for 700 miles now.
Most folding e bikes use the same mechanisms, similar components, wiring and hubs etc and weigh closely the same.
What you don't get told though is that if you have an e bike that is not a mainstream supplier, is that getting it serviced, even just spokes tensioned or a puncture repaired at a bike shop, is that the bike shops (Halfords, Decathlon, Evans-basically any main supplier of bikes) will not touch your bike unless they sell that bike. They will do it if you pull the wheel off and walk in with the wheel in hand though...go figure. And a 4 week window for servicing...

I have struggled x2 to get simple work completed that had nothing to do with the electrics or wiring and no one wants to know...Unless you travel to a supplying dealer (think Aprilia/moto guzzi support) a few years ago. And when you do find a shop/indie that will do the work, they also have a 4 week booking window. If you spend/buy a well know brand that is sold by a lot of dealers (Tern, Estarli, Brompton, Hygge, e volt) servicing is a whole lot easier.

Then you need to look at the ease of folding and actually keeping it folded together. Cheaper makes fail hugely at this (ADO Air). Also, where do you connect the cable to the battery if going shopping? Is it in an awkward position like Estarli, underneath the frame making it hard to quickly disconnect and re connect to remove the battery. And lastly from my experience, when its folded, how stable is it and can you easily wheel it along onto public transport like you can a brompton? Cheaper bikes can be wheeled but the wheels come apart leaving you looking like a newbie! Then when folded and stationary, is it balancing on the battery end in the seat post, or is there a kicker below to protect and stand the bike on? Does it have a single or double stand arm to balance it perfectly?

I so very nearly bought one of these exact bikes a month or so ago.
Definitely the best all round folding bike around I reckon.
