A folding bike is a great way to save space and take it on the go. Now Tern has introduced something that can allow a folding bike to truly go places. The Tern FlightSuit offers a protective cover that allows users to pack a Tern bike into a standard-sized suitcase for airline travel.
“For many, the idea of bringing a bike on vacation is heaven, but can be daunting,” said Dwight Jurling, director global marketing at Tern. “Dedicated cases are expensive, often incur oversize baggage charges, and take up valuable storage space when not in use. The Tern FlightSuit eliminates these concerns by letting travelers turn a normal suitcase into a bike travel case when one is needed.”
The Tern FlightSuit can be used with off-the-shelf large suitcases, and includes custom protectors for the bike’s seatpost, handlepost, pedals and dropouts. Pads are made of durable 240D nylon bonded with 5 mm, dual-layer padding, to protect the bike during transit. Instructions are printed right on the suitcase pad showing how to fit the bike into the suitcase.
