Tern Vektron P5i
The Full Scoop on the Tern Vektron P5i
The Tern Vektron P5i is a folding e-bike for riders who value silence, simplicity, and zero-hassle commuting. A Gates Carbon Drive belt replaces the traditional chain — no grease, no noise, virtually no maintenance. Paired with a Shimano Nexus 5-speed internal gear hub, you can shift at any speed, even standing still at a light.
Powered by a Bosch Performance Line mid-drive motor with a 400Wh battery, the P5i delivers up to 70 miles of range and folds in 10 seconds. The Gen 4 platform features a reinforced OCL+ frame joint, 3D-forged Physis handlepost, and an adjustable cockpit fitting riders from 4'10" to 6'5".
An ABUS frame lock (keyed-alike with the battery lock), integrated rack, Magura hydraulic disc brakes, and a 10-year frame warranty round out a folding e-bike built to last.
