Options for raised rear rack for 20" Dahon/Tern?
Hello
To make an informed choice, I'd like to know what my options are to buy a raised rear rack to fit on a Dahon or Tern so that I can carry two bags in the back with enough heel clearance.
What manufacturers make that kind of rack?
For instance, I suspect Tern doesn't actually make this "Traveller Rack" and it's just an OEM product made by someone else.
Alternatively, are there good, regular rear racks that can easily be adapted to a 20" Dahon/Tern, such as this?
Thank you.

It looks like a front rack put on backwards and an aluminum strap added to it in the center. I have no idea who made it though. I have a bunch old racks and have never had problems adapting them to my folding bikes. Blackburns are on a couple of them. If the rack is for a 700c bike it will naturally be higher. Roger

DAHON originally provided raised rear rack with SPEED-TR(KC044D). I think it's perfect for DAHON/TERN folding.but I'm not sure if it has been retailed in France.
since it is an OEM product made in China/Taiwan,we local people can purchase these racks easily on Taobao.com....折叠车后货架 大行20寸旅行前后货架 P8 VP18SP8完美后货架高货架-淘宝网

The traveller rack has been discontinued and is not sold by Tern or Dahon anymore ( I am talking USA )
it has been replaced with the new Tern Biologic Cargo rack ..I liked the simplicity of the traveller rack, but teh Cargo rack is much stronger and more versatile

I had no idea about the overseas shipping fee. so I did some searching on the website. seens that it may cost you about 40 US$ by China Post Air Parcel to France.

It's strange that Tern doesn't sell a raised rear rack so that people can use pannier bags with no issue.

Does the Dahon Treveller Rear Rack fit Tern bikes?

All together now: the Tern Cargo Rack and, yes, it also fits Dahons. Shipping from Taiwan is half of what it costs to ship a normal rack from there due to the cargo rack being foldable.
