Summary: <p>Joshua Hon has decades of experience in the world of bicycle design and manufacture. His</p> <p>father Dr David Hon, founded Dahon (a shortened version of his name) which became a well-</p> <p>known, globally distributed folding bike brand.</p> <p><br></p> <p>After working at Dahon for years, Joshua branched out and set up an entirely new company</p> <p>from scratch, Tern Bicycles.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Initially Tern was best known for its own designs of folding bicycles, but then Joshua ‘bet the</p> <p>company’ on an ambitious project to create an entire new category of bicycle from scratch.</p> <p>The result was the Tern GSD, through which Joshua Hon can take credit for creating what is</p> <p>now a huge bicycle category, ‘compact cargo’.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Although this bike has ‘inspired’, as Joshua diplomatically describes it, many very similar</p> <p>models from other brands, Tern has focused upon continued product innovation and</p> <p>development, which has resulted in huge growth for the still relatively new company.</p> <p>Throughout the journey, Joshua has developed a company with a strong culture of</p> <p>environmental sustainability and advocacy.</p> <p><br></p> <p>It’s also a place where just about every team member regularly rides the products that they</p> <p>make, including Joshua.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>To watch the video version of this interview, visit the </strong><a href="https://micromobilityreport.com.au/influencers/" target="_blank">Micromobility Report website.</a></p>
