Tern Vektron Compact Folding Electric Bike
The Katy Trail stretches 240 miles along the historic Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railway Line, offering breathtaking views of the Missouri countryside. A trailhead is conveniently located near the Fairgrounds, where the 67th Airstream Club International Rally will be held, and Tern will be there to show Airstream Limited Edition HSD P5i and Vektron S10 models. These bikes easily fold for travel and storage and are the only folding bikes in the U.S. equipped with premium Bosch electric motors. Designed to carry just about anything, including family members, Tern stands out as a premium brand powered by Bosch, with safety-tested and UL-certified bikes — setting them apart from inexpensive, direct-to-consumer options.
Tern HSD Compact Cargo Electric Bike
Tern invented the compact cargo category in 2017 and is the first and still only Bosch-powered folding bike in the US. We’re excited to offer club members an exclusive limited-edition bike and will showcase two of our most popular models, the HSD and Vektron, at the rally. What we’re most excited about is the accessory system that allows our customers, and Airstream owners, to take anything on a ride.
HSD P5i – $4699
The HSD (Haul Stuff Daily) is perfect for fall adventures, offering the ideal balance of cargo capacity and convenience without the bulk. Compact and agile, it’s shorter than a standard bike but can carry a maximum gross vehicle weight of 180 kg (397 lb). Built with top-tier components, rigorously lab-tested, and UL 2849 certified, the HSD is a reliable and safe ride. One of its standout features is the easily adjustable cockpit, allowing the bike to adapt to anyone’s riding position in seconds, making it effortless to share with family and friends. Plus, the HSD folds flat in seconds, fitting easily into an SUV or Airstream for wherever life takes you.
The Tern HSD is a versatile, high-performance e-bike that offers the best of both worlds: the utility of a compact cargo bike with the convenience of a smaller, more agile bike.
HSD Benefits
Compact and Easy to Store: Despite being powerful and versatile, the Tern HSD is designed to be compact. It’s smaller than a regular bike, making it easier to store in tight spaces like RVs, or on the Fiamma bike rack.
Powerful Motor for Easy Riding: The HSD has an electric motor that helps you pedal, so you don’t have to work as hard. This makes riding up hills or against the wind much easier and more enjoyable.
Great for Carrying Stuff: It’s built to carry heavy loads, whether it’s groceries, a child, or even some gear for your biking adventures. The sturdy frame and strong rack make it reliable for transporting items.
Comfortable Ride: The bike is designed for comfort with an upright seating position, adjustable handlebars, and a smooth ride, even on bumpy roads. You can ride it for longer distances without feeling tired or sore and one size fits all.
Low Maintenance: The Tern HSD is built to last with quality components, so you won’t have to spend much time or money on repairs. Plus, the belt drive (instead of a chain) and internally-geared hub is cleaner, doesn’t require regular oiling and is long-lasting.
Fun to Ride: Lastly, the HSD is just fun! The electric assist gives you a nice boost, making cycling more enjoyable when out for a ride while camping.
Vektron S10 – $3399
Tern owners love the Vektron because it’s a top-tier electric bike that folds in just 10 seconds, making it easy to take on trains, stow in cars, or tuck under desks. It shortens commutes and flattens hills, and you can pack a couple in your Airstream for your next trip to explore even more.
The Tern Vektron is a premium folding electric bike designed to combine portability with the performance of a full-sized e-bike. Here’s what makes the Vektron stand out:
Vektron Benefits
Folds Up for Easy Storage: One of the biggest benefits of the Tern Vektron is that it folds down quickly and easily. This means you can store it in small spaces in your Airstream or unfolded on a Fiamma rack.
Electric Boost for Easier Rides: The Vektron has an electric motor that helps you pedal, so riding is easier and less tiring, especially on hills or longer. It makes getting around while camping much more enjoyable without breaking a sweat.
Comfortable and Adjustable: The bike is designed to fit a wide range of riders, thanks to its adjustable handlebars and seat post. Whether you’re tall or short, you can find a comfortable riding position. Plus, the ride is smooth and stable, even at higher speeds.
Carries Your Stuff: Despite being a folding bike, the Vektron is strong and can carry your essentials, like a backpack, groceries, or even a small child on the back. It’s practical for everyday use during RV season.
Low Maintenance: The Tern Vektron is built with quality components that are durable and require less maintenance, so you spend more time riding and less time worrying about repairs.
Fun and Convenient: Lastly, riding the Vektron is simply fun! The electric boost makes it feel like you have superpowers when you’re cycling, and its portability means you can take it with you almost anywhere.
