Tern makes very solid hinges.
I think if the hinge can handle the torsional stresses of a loaded ebike, as on their Vektron models, there's a good chance they can handle the stresses of off-road riding as well.
Um, no, they don't there's still the occasional rebadged bike that has the crappy welds out there. I own a Tern folder, and I'm quite lucky I went with the 26" wheeled model. So far no recalls. Their other models? Crap shoot. And that's NOT an opinion.
