I wondered if an upgrade to hydro would be a future option but I will see what the braking is like once they’ve had a little love.
at the moment the levers are super stifff and modulation isn’t great, but they do stop the bike. It’s just unpleasant.
Bike-discount has Shimano mt200 to mt420 hydraulic calipers prefilled with levers for a set pair both front and back for between 20-50 euro. But you have to check the cable length because each listing has different lengths. I think for Dahon/tern you would need at least 1900mm rear, but 2000mm better. Front is probably 800-900mm.
