Upgrade your urban mobility with the Tern Clip System, a clever magnetic locking mechanism that keeps your folding bike securely folded—perfect for city living in Malaysia.
-
Function & Design
Utilizing strong embedded magnets, the Clip System keeps the folded bike compact and secure, even when carrying it up stairs or navigating public transport. With a pull force of approximately 10–15 kgf, it ensures the folded halves remain firmly together. -
Compatibility & Application
Found on models like the Link C8 (Gen 3) and entry-level city-folding bikes, the Clip System is compact and integrated—no extra screws or tools required. It works silently and intuitively: just fold the bike, and the magnets lock it in place. -
Size & Integration
The magnetic clip is built directly into the bike’s frame—no added weight or external parts. Its minimalistic integration helps the bike fold down to about 39.5 cm × 80 cm × 73 cm, making it easy to stow in tight Malaysian apartments or packed LRT cars.
Usage Instructions
-
Folding & Locking
Fold your Tern bike as usual; the Clip System will automatically engage. You’ll feel a satisfying magnetic snap when it locks in place. -
Carrying or Storing
With the Clip engaged, your folded bike stays securely closed—ideal when carrying it up stairs, maneuvering through MRT stations, or stowing it beside your desk. -
Unfolding & Release
Simply unlock the bike as usual; the magnetic hold disengages instantly without extra steps.
Precautions
-
Clean Regularly
Keep the clip surfaces free of dust, dirt, or debris—especially during Malaysia’s humid and dusty seasons—to maintain magnetic strength. -
Avoid Obstruction
Do not place metallic objects near the folded clip area when transporting or storing the bike; this can interfere with secure closure. -
Carry Safely
With the Clip engaged, your folded bike is compact and manageable—but always lift with two hands when navigating stairs to prevent strain or accidental opening.
