Frequently Asked Questions - Node D7i Tern

How do I fold the Tern Node D7i?

First, lower the seat and unfold the pedals. Then, release the frame latch and fold the bike by bringing the rear wheel toward the front. Secure the magnets to keep it folded. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

The maximum rider weight is 110 kg (242 lbs). The bike is not designed for heavy cargo beyond the rear rack limit.

How do I adjust the handlebar height?

Loosen the quick-release lever on the stem, slide the handlepost up or down to the desired height, then tighten the lever firmly. Ensure the height is within the marked safe range.

What type of gears does the Node D7i use?

It uses a Shimano Nexus 7-speed internal hub. This provides smooth shifting and low maintenance, as the gears are enclosed.

How do I maintain the internal hub gear?

Regularly check the shift cable tension and lubricate the chain. The hub itself is sealed but should be serviced by a professional if shifting becomes rough. Avoid high-pressure water near the hub.

Can I add a child seat or trailer?

Yes, the rear rack is compatible with many child seats and trailers. Ensure the total load (rider + cargo) does not exceed 110 kg. Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions.

What tools are needed for assembly?

Basic tools such as a 5mm allen key, a 15mm wrench for pedals, and a pump for tires are required. Most Tern bikes come partially assembled.

How do I clean the bike?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Do not use a pressure washer, as it can force water into bearings and the internal hub. Dry the bike after cleaning.

Is the bike suitable for commuting?

Yes, the Node D7i is designed for urban commuting. It folds compactly for storage on trains or in small apartments, and the 7-speed hub handles hills well.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts are available through Tern authorized dealers or the Tern website. Common parts like brake pads, tires, and cables are widely stocked.
