-
Size & Compatibility
This kickstand features a 40 mm spacing between mounting holes, designed specifically for direct-mount installation on compatible Tern folding bike frames. It’s a precise fit ensuring secure attachment and stability. -
Material & Build
Crafted from a robust combination of aluminium and steel, the kickstand balances lightweight durability with load-bearing strength—ideal for everyday use on Malaysian roads. -
Weight & Form Factor
Though the exact weight isn’t specified, kickstands of this build typically weigh between 200–300 g—light enough not to affect ride feel, yet solid enough to support fully loaded bikes. -
Functionality & Convenience
Simple to deploy and retract, this kickstand keeps your bike upright on various surfaces—from tiled car park floors to grassy verges—making parking effortless in both city and suburban environments.
Usage & Installation Instructions
-
Mounting
Align the kickstand’s mounting holes with the 40 mm spaced bosses on your Tern frame. Secure it using the appropriate bolts (ideally 8 mm or 10 mm bolts), ensuring everything is tight and flush. Double-check alignment for stability. -
Operating the Stand
Push the stand down until it firmly touches the ground, supporting your bike’s weight. When riding, simply fold it up against the chainstay to keep it out of the way. -
Regular Maintenance
Occasionally clean the kickstand with mild soapy water, especially after muddy or rainy rides, then dry and re-lubricate the pivot if it starts to creak. This keeps deployment smooth and quiet.
Precautions & Care Guidance
-
Check Tightness Regularly
Vibration from road riding can loosen mounting bolts. Periodically inspect and re-tighten them to maintain stability and avoid damage to the frame. -
Avoid Excess Load
The Tern 20 Kickstand is designed for light-duty support. Do not lean heavily loaded bikes (with cargo or passengers) on it—this could warp or strain the stand. For heavier loads, consider the stronger DuoStand kickstand option. -
Safe Storage
When not in use, fold the stand up to avoid accidental snagging on bags or causing tripping hazards.
