Tern's folding bikes are clearly inspired by the founder's former employer, Dahon. There's a new folding-bike company in town, and it might look similar to one of the old ones, at least in terms of the faces you might see working there. Tern Bikes is a new startup by several ex-employees of Dahon, the maker of nicely designed and lightweight (if a little large when collapsed) folding bikes.
According to founder Joshua Hon (son of the founder of Dahon), Dahon has been having trouble with quality control, so he decided to go it alone. Well, kind of alone. Tern employs around 70 people, according to a report on the launch by Bike Hugger.
