Hello been following this discussion since V1, very informative, not many info about folding bike in the Internet compare to mtb n rb. Been looking for a folding bike, and looking at 2 model tern verge n8 or tern link d16. Any one with experience /opinion. Planning to buy folding for second bike n casual ride.

Do folding need to have 16 speed like the tern link d16 or enough with just 8 speed like tern verge n8.?

Oh thanks for the reply, its mix of flat n hilly road, more to fun ride n tour, but i notice some of the folding go tour to place such as fraser hill, can 8/9 speed manage that kind of route.? And.... If i take the double chainring can i upgrade it to single chainring later for weight reduce?
