本地大行4S店摆过，买的人不多，现在没有了。这货除了价格高些没看出硬件有多好。

1. Dahon as a brand has always been comprised of three cooperating but independent companies: Dahon Global (※※※※※※ based, but responsible for sales, marketing, product development, distribution), Dahon China (China factory), and Dahon North America (US distribution)
2. Dahon Global has always, from its inception nearly 20 years ago, been 100% owned by Florence Hon and myself. We continue to own and operate this company.
3. Before being named in the suit in the USA, we actually signed countless agreements with Dr. Hon that not only state that we are separate companies, but also that they promise to respect the intellectual property we developed and positively acknowledging that they have no issues with us launching our new brand. However, Dr. Hon did not hold his side of the agreement and filed suit through DNA with claims to which the courts have so far refused to accept - but multiple decisions are expected in January.
4. We did not leave with "a number of other Dahon employees". As mentioned, we continue to own Dahon Global and it continues to exist. Rather the entire Dahon Global team, 100%, and this includes members in Asia, the US, and Europe, decided to move in a new direction and focus energies on the new brand Tern.
5. Florence Hon and I are shareholders in Tern but the other senior managers are also shareholders.
6. Tern is using patents developed by the Tern team, or owned by Dahon Global. Tern is not using any patents or other IP developed by Dahon China or Dahon North America. When Dahon Global was cooperating with Dahon China and Dahon North America, they were allowed access to these patents. Now that we are not, they are no longer allowed use of these patents. The Vector and Ios frame designs, as well as numerous other technologies, designs and copyrights fall into this category.
7. Tern is already shipping bicycles and they'll be landing in the UK next month.
8. There is no possibility that any legal outcome, positive or negative, could "yank" Terns from the shelves.
