My Review - Buying a Tern Vektron S10
Review by Catherine B. on 24 Sep 2021 review stating My Review - Buying a Tern Vektron S10 The technician showed me how to fold and unfold the bike. That was fun. Then he carefully walked me through the operation of such key components as the computer and the hydaulic brakes. He answered all my questions. About what to do if I lose both keys to the Bosch battery, which COULD happen, he advised me not to lose them. Later I discovered that the manufacturer of the keys (not Bosch, not Tern) can provide a replacement AS LONG as I keep a record of the number inscribed on the each key. Phew! I learned that from one of the manuals and double-checked it online on the key-manufacturer's website. As for riding the bike, I am doing as told and carefully reading all 5 Bosch manuals first plus the Tern manual before my initial ride (in a parking lot). I like the part where several manuals say that before each ride, one should drop the bike and listen for anything that rattles. Great advice, actually! The manuals are very well written, have excellent illustrations and are packed with thoughtful advice. Like, no wheelies. Also, I found that signing up for an extended (10-year) warranty is free. (Not sure if that means I'll be sending data to the company for a longer period. My guess is yes.) The main thing I need to learn asap is how to take off the R pedal so I can more easily roll the bike from the R side when the bike is folded. I suggest the technician teach that up front.
