Tern Vektron P5i
Tern Vektron P5i Folding Electric Bike — Compact Power, Premium Comfort & a Cleaner Ride
Meet the Tern Vektron P5i, a premium folding electric bike designed for riders who want full-size performance in a compact, easy-to-live-with package. This latest evolution of Tern’s award-winning Vektron platform introduces one of its most meaningful upgrades yet: a silent, grease-free Gates Belt Drive. The result is a smoother, cleaner, and dramatically lower-maintenance ride, ideal for daily commuting, cargo hauling, and year-round use in Canadian conditions.
Despite its compact footprint, the Vektron P5i rides with impressive stability and confidence. It folds down quickly for storage, transit, or travel, yet once unfolded it feels planted and solid, not flexy or compromised. Whether you’re navigating city streets, bike paths, or mixed urban terrain, the P5i delivers a refined riding experience that consistently exceeds expectations for a folding eBike.
At the heart of the Vektron P5i is the Bosch Performance Line mid-drive motor, providing up to 65 Nm of torque and 300% support. Hills, headwinds, and heavier loads are handled with ease, while the assistance remains smooth and natural thanks to Bosch’s proven torque-sensing technology. Paired with the Bosch PowerPack 400 battery, the P5i offers up to 112 km (70 mi) of range on a single charge (conditions dependent), making it a true everyday electric bike, not just a short-distance solution.
Designed for long-term ownership, the Vektron P5i is built to be precisely tuned, durable, and dependable in real-world use. From frequent folding and transport to changing weather and daily wear, every component is chosen to deliver consistent performance with minimal maintenance so the bike continues to ride smoothly and reliably over years of regular use.

A few years ago, we purchased two used e-bikes, originally from Scooteretti. We’ve been dealing with them ever since for parts, accessories, and service. We’ve been very pleased with all our interactions and communications with staff. We have since purchased 2 new e-bikes and are extremely satisfied with our purchase and service.
Picked up my new Gazelle eBike last week! So happy with the knowledgeable staff at Scooteretti. They explained everything about my bike's features in detail. Love the store, so clean, modern and well displayed items like helmets and other accessories. Got a great helmet and dog basket as well. My dog loves it!
Excellent buyer experience, the employees are very knowledgeable and were able to answer all of my questions to help me guide my choice of a bicycle model. After sale service is also impeccable!
Can I give 6 stars? I ordered a cargo bike from Scooteretti sight unseen, they shipped it halfway across the country and provided top notch service helping me get started. Excellent products and excellent service. Can't go wrong choosing Scooteretti.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most common question we get from our customers. If these did not help, not to worry our customer support team is here to asssit you.
What is more important Watts or Torque when buying an eBike?
Watts is a very poor way of measuring how powerful an eBike motor is. A high wattage motor that is inefficient will give the rider less power at the wheel than a more efficient motor that has a lower wattage rating.
Remember when you used to buy 60, 80, and 100-watt lightbulbs? Then LED lightbulbs came out and suddenly they are now rated at 5-10 watts. These new technologically advanced lightbulbs are much more efficient than the old-style light bulbs. They are now 6 to 10 times more energy efficient and in many cases produce more light output.
So as you can see Watts are simply the measure of how much electrical charge is flowing and is not related to the product's actual performance.
Torque is HUGE and is incredibly important with e-bikes as it is the most accurate way to measure the power around the wheel or the crank. More torque = easier to pedal.
Newton Meters (Nm) is the units of measure used for torque, the higher the Nm number, typically the more assist your eBike will give you.
Now don't be fooled by high Nm ratings from some manufacturers as you always want to know the actual continuous torque (what you can get for an extended period of time) and not the peak torque rating(something you will feel for a fraction of a second only).
