I use the Tern for weekend cycling in the country, so a good transmission is a plus. When I bought it, there was a shortage of bikes due to supply problems. Only the more expensive and the cheapest were left. And the trains were not crowded (there was more remote working).

It reminds me of the time I went to a company for a job interview. I had to navigate the halls and corridors of the building with my Tern. Doable, but not the most efficient way. In a few months, I'll be in a new office building. I fear it will be quite labyrinthine.
Right now, my current office is on the first floor with only a few meters to push the bike before parking it.
That's another reason to look for a more compact folding bike.
