Frequently Asked Questions - Eclipse P7i Tern

How do I fold and unfold the Eclipse P7i?

To fold: lower the seat, release the main frame latch (Andros fold), fold the handlepost forward, then secure the magnetic latch. To unfold: reverse steps, ensure all latches click. Refer to the manual for detailed folding instructions.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

The maximum rider weight is 105 kg (231 lb). The rear rack supports up to 25 kg (55 lb) of cargo. Do not exceed these limits for safe riding.

Can I adjust the handlebar height?

Yes, the handlepost has an adjustable stem. Loosen the quick-release clamp, slide to desired height, and tighten. Ensure the handlebars are aligned and secure before riding.

How often should I lubricate the chain?

Lubricate the chain every 100 km (about 60 miles) or after riding in wet conditions. Use a dry chain lubricant and wipe off excess. Regular chain maintenance prolongs drivetrain life.

What tools are needed for basic maintenance?

Basic tools include: a set of hex wrenches (4, 5, 6 mm), a tire pump, chain lube, and a spoke wrench. Most adjustments can be made with these tools. For internal hub service, consult a Tern dealer.

Is the Eclipse P7i suitable for commuting in rain?

Yes, it comes with mudguards and a rear rack. Wipe the frame and drivetrain after wet rides. Avoid puddles deeper than the bottom bracket. The weather-resistant components handle occasional rain.

How do I adjust the brakes?

To adjust V-brakes: turn the barrel adjuster on the brake lever to fine-tune cable tension. For pad alignment: loosen the pad bolt, align pad flat to rim, tighten. If pads are worn, replace them.

What is the recommended tire pressure?

Recommended tire pressure is 40-65 psi (2.8-4.5 bar). Check sidewall for exact range. Proper inflation improves rolling resistance and prevents pinch flats.

Can I install a child seat or trailer?

The rear rack is not designed for child seats. Use a seatpost-mounted or frame-mounted child seat. Trailers can be used if the trailer hitch attaches to the rear axle. Check local laws for child transportation.

How do I clean the bike without damaging it?

Use a soft cloth and mild soap with water. Avoid high-pressure washers as they can force water into bearings. Dry the bike after washing. For detailed cleaning, remove wheels and degrease the drivetrain.
