They were planning a small production run with the bikes shipping in mid-July.
I don't know if that's on track. Since they are very tight-lipped about their plans and production, it's hard to say if they plan on a standard production run soon.
Here are the folding sizes for two Tern bikes.
VERGE X11: 38 × 80 × 74 cm (15 × 31,5 × 29,1 inches)
ECLIPSE X22: 42 × 89 × 81 cm (16,5 × 35 × 31,9 inches)
My X11 is 15" wide, so the X22 is 16.5" wide.
