r/TernBikes

- For those with a Tern folding bike, did you buy the specific multi-tool?

Basically asking the subject line. I bought a tern (Link d7) a few months back, and didnt get to really use it until recently.

Thinking about potential issues etc, so wanted to check if others used standard alley keys etc, or just bought the Tern specific alley keys, as they are quite expensive, and not sure if i would need it anyway with an issue

(Description of tool - "The Tern Tool ensures you stay on your bike, and don’t get stuck roadside. Specially designed for Tern bikes, the multi-tool boasts 19 must-have tools, including a 15mm wrench for tightening axle nuts and pedals and a 6mm wrench for adjusting Tern joint levers.")

thanks

Rack advice

This is the best combo I have come up with so far. Front wheel feels rock solid. Back wheel not so much. Between the fender and rack supports I can figure out a combo that will let me get high enough on the bike’s back wheel to keep it the tray without a ratchet or Velcro strap.

What racks are you using? Any suggestions for making my current rack work?

Tern quick haul only has 1000km and it requires mayor fixes costing over 420€

I bought a quick haul in August 2025 for my daily commute and school run. In spring when I wanted to start using it again it already started making noises and the chain fell off several times. I took it to the local tern mechanic and they fixed it. However after a while the whole gear box locked up making the wheal fall off the body and making bike unusable. I took it to the mechanic and they said that I should get it to the people who sold it to get the warranty because it is imposible for it to be locking up so soon after I bought it. It has only 1k kilometres. The people who sold it have rejected the warranty and say it is my fault because water went in the gearbox. How is this possible? I have barely used it in the rain and I have not washed it except with a small hose to clear the mud. They said that shimano always rejects warrantees. Worst purchase I have made. Highly recommend not to buy these bikes. Here are some pictures of the brick and the picture the sellers have sent to say it was my fault. Is there anything I can do? Any recommendations will be amazing. Also think twice before buying these bikes

Help identifying missing part?

The door hit me on the way out, and I think I’m missing some kind of nut or pin that holds the handlebar folding mechanism in place. Can anyone help identify the piece, and where I might be able to order a replacement?
