Summary:

Introducing the 2015 Tern Link D8, a purpose-built folding electric bike featuring a customized BionX kit. The bike boasts a 48-volt battery, which is compact at 6.3 amp hours, making it lightweight and portable. One standout feature is that you don’t need to remove the battery to fold the bike, simplifying the folding process. The bike also has a magnetic connection point to keep it secure when folded.

The Tern Link D8 is equipped with an 8-speed SR Suntour setup, offering ample gearing for various riding conditions. Weighing only 41 pounds, it’s designed to be transportable, ideal for boat or RV trips. The bike has 20-inch Schwable Citizen tires, which are slightly wider than typical road bike tires but not as wide as mountain bike tires. These tires come with reflective sidewalls for increased visibility, making it safer for nighttime or low-light riding.

Priced at around $2,700, the Tern Link D8 offers excellent value for a BionX system. The 350-watt gearless direct-drive motor is quiet and efficient, providing regenerative braking capabilities. The regen feature is controlled via the right grip, and there are four levels of regen mode to choose from. Additionally, the bike has four levels of pedal assist, adjustable through the display on the right grip, which also features a throttle for extra convenience.

The removable display is a thoughtful feature, allowing you to take it with you to prevent theft or damage. The battery is also removable, facilitating easier shipping and compliance with various travel regulations. The bike comes with full-length front and rear fenders with mud flaps, a rear rack with a bungee connector, and foldable pedals for added convenience.

While the bike lacks built-in lights, it includes reflectors on the pedals and the rear. Folding the bike is straightforward, and it becomes compact enough for easy transport. The bike’s top speed is 20 miles per hour, whether in pedal-assist or throttle mode, and the torque-sensing motor provides a smooth and responsive ride. The handlebars feature ergonomic grips and a quick-adjust mechanism for added comfort.
