Tern bike may not have the same history as other folding bicycle manufacturers, but they sure deliver one amazing product. The folding bikes are built with precision, attention to detail, and an eye for style and design that you don't often see in the folding bike world. The Tern Node D8 looks to be our best-selling Tern folding bike.

Nice video Ken!
4:57 "Over a million dollars"? LOL The construction alone of the Peace Bridge was $18M, and after a 17 months delay it swelled to $25M in 2012! Very nice video though! Folding bikes have evolved so much in recent years.
Kusy, good catch. Yes, we didn't get fact right on the cost of the bridge.
this foldin bike is so wonderful!

+CARLOS BELTRAN . Thanks for you interested in Tern bike, you will need to purchase this your nearby country such as Brazil. go ternbicycles.com web site, select country Brazil, and look for dealer in that area. Best of Luck!
OH THANK YOU MAN !
You mentioned in the video that the front chainring is 52t... Tern doesn't mention the chainring size on their website... instead, they say the gear inches range from 33-95 and the rear cassette is 12-32t.
None of those figures line up to me, since 24" wheels with a 12-32 cassette and 52t chainring means the gearing ranges from 39-104 inches. While a 33 inch minimum implies a 44t chainring, and the 95-inch maximum implies a 47 or 48t. So which is it actually?
+Parashar Krishnamachari Wow! You are one of very few viewers that actually pay attention to the content of the video. As far as we know, all of the Node that we received was 52T chainRing, we don't know if 2016 model come with same spec, or differ country model may also had differ spec.
Yes, you are correct, you can't find detail spec of the Chainring. It just happen we discovered it by counting the tooth of the ring, no wonder the bike can go so fast! Tern had put some good components into their bike!
+Power In Motion Interesting. Since I'm in the U.S., I also looked at reviews within the U.S., and many of them talk about both the Link and Node D8 being more of a generic everyday bike rather than one that's particularly fast... max of 104 inches sounds plenty fast to me (though the "granny" end is more meaningful to me for commuting in San Francisco where there are more hills than people). So that makes me wonder if the version sold in the U.S. has a smaller chainring. At the same time, the only detailed reviews I could find stateside were before the bike was released and they said that the preproduction version didn't have a chainguard (TurboBob had problems with slipping chains)... So maybe the "slower" version was preproduction as well.
Although Dahon has a lot more options in my price range, I'm leaning towards Tern over Dahon simply because of the reputation they have for the stronger hinges and durable build (at the cost of being a little heavier and apparently a little less adjustable). I'm not a small guy by any means, and my weight plus the weight of a backpack with all the usual day-to-day stuff + a lock & chains and what not puts me pretty much at the limit of what Dahon says their bikes are rated to handle. I know that's a conservative figure by nature, but I can't really help worrying about it.
+Parashar Krishnamachari TurboBob is definitely is good resource to talk to. Again, i can't confirm if US version is differ from Canadian version. My quick guess it should be the same. The best is to visit one one Tern dealers San Francisco. If you very tall, i recommend that you look into the telescopic and superOverSize seat post, it just came out in 2016. Tern was mentioned about it during interbike 2015 Sept. We want able to fit taller customers, so the SuperOverSize post may be for you. And also the new 2016 Andros stem generation 2. It will also help to increase another 1.5 - 2 inch in height. So again, look into those accessories. It may make it fit better for you.
