Hello. I'm very interested in the Tern Vektron but I would really prefer to have "Performance Speed" motor from Bosch rather than the "Active" line that it comes equipped with. The roads around here have very wide bike lanes that are smooth as glass and the extra speed of the 28 mph assist would be a real benefit to my commute. Does anybody know if it is possible to swap out the Active motor for the Performance Speed one?
Vektron motor swap?

However well designed, a folding frame isn't the ideal platform for a speed motor. You could try talking to your dealer to see if they can get the speed motor upgrade. I believe Bosch would oppose such a change.

It's possible. It will fit and work but you'd have to be able to get your hands on one and Bosch won't sell them.

Maybe you should check out the R&M Tinker Touring HS. It's not a folder, but it's a compact bike with a 28mph top speed.
