life.
Now we're here to review a beautiful
Tern bike, this one is called the verge
s8i. Now this is a 20-inch wheel folding
bike that pulls in half for compact
storage and travel but it boasts some
incredible features, that is
pretty hard to find on most normal bikes,
It's built to be an out now commuter
feature-rich durable stable and
comfortable.
Now the first thing you'll notice when
you get on this bike is it doesn't have
a chain like a traditional bike does, it
has what's called a carbon belt drive
and that carbon belt drive is a
greaseless, very clean, lonely and system
which is the same as a drive built in a
car but much more durable and strong. So
that it can take your pedaling course.
It's actually the same system that
they're using in Harley-Davidson
motorcycles, very efficient, very low
maintenance and extremely quiet and
smooth.
The next thing you'll notice is it has
really big tires, these are tire called
Schwalbe Big Ben and the tire is known
for you know, great traction and
durability, urban riding. It makes a very
stable platform for your bike.
Next you have hydraulic disc brakes
so with hydraulic disc brakes this is
the kind of thing, where you can stop in
a hurry if you need to. And that's pretty
cool because in the city everybody knows
you know there are times when you
actually need to come to a halt to avoid
something.
and what's cool that disc brakes is,
they not affected by how sunny it is
outside, how rainy it is, how wet, you know
Disc breaks are great for all weather
riding.
So I really love that as a commuter bike.
Now right up here we have a headlight
this is not you know your traditional
battery power headlight. This is actually
a dynamo powered headlight and their
tail light that goes right with it. With
dynamo power means, you actually have
your front wheel is a generator and when
it spins it generates power for the
entire lighting system.
One of my favorite things about the
verge S8I is, how comfortable you feel
while riding the bike?
it's got Ergonomic grips with two
different hand positions so we can
either hold in the middle or can hold
the outside, if you want to put a little
bit more power into the bike.
In addition to that comfortable hand
position that you get with those ergonomic
grips,
you also have the ability to change the
height of the handlebar of this bike. So
you can make it more upright, you can
make it more comfortable, you can make it
faster, you can make more sporty if you want
to and that's because of this andros 2
stem. Folding the verge S8I  is
actually very simple.
First thing you want to do is drop the
seat down then you can open the
mainframe hinge, swing the two wheels
together, then swing the handlebar down,
connect this little rubber strap. Last
step,
this like actually has a folding pedal and
what you do there is, pinch the little
yellow part and then pull out the pedal
and then that actually sticks right into
a container in the back of the seat so
that's pretty neat.
