Just curious, but what are the reasons for saying that? Are Tern a notoriously bad company? I have a Tern Verge x10 and it's OK to ride, but kind of a piece of crap with many design flaws. Folding design is terrible and mine suffered from a crack that I thankfully noticed while changing the tyres and managed to get a new frame under warranty (service was actually very good tbh). The issues I have with my Tern are what made me want a Helix, although the company seems OK from my experience. However, I wish I'd bought a Birdy or Dahon folder with my money instead of the Tern I have, but it has taken me to a lot of places and got me excited about travelling with my bike to cycle wherever I go.
