Tern Bicycles has moved into a new headquarters in New Taipei City, a major step for the urban mobility brand. The new space brings all Taiwan-based teams—previously scattered across multiple buildings and floors—into one purpose-built workspace designed to spark collaboration, creativity, and spontaneous problem-solving that fuels Tern’s product development.
Team Captain Josh Hon says the move let Tern rethink teamwork.
“Designing this space from scratch allowed us to be deliberate with the layout,” he says. The new HQ focuses on how ideas move, how teams gather, and how energy flows each day.
A Workspace Built for Ideas
The new office covers the entire eighth floor and houses 70 team members. At its center is the Hub—an open area designed to spark casual conversations and “water cooler” moments that lead to breakthroughs.
Around the Hub are focused and creative zones: bean bag rooms for brainstorming, Zoom pods for private calls, an expanded Innovation Lab, and a dedicated Photo/Video studio for Tern’s content and product storytelling.
A Location That Reflects Tern’s Values
The headquarters is in a redevelopment zone that prioritizes public transit, walkability, bike infrastructure, parks, and green space. The building has a Green Building certification and on-site solar power.
Tern encourages employees to commute by bike through its Bike to Work program.. Accordingly, through the program, staff earn credit for every kilometer, redeemable toward a Tern bike. Secure indoor bike parking, showers, and lockers make daily riding easy.
Global Roots, Shared Space
While the new HQ unites Tern’s Taiwan teams, the company remains globally distributed. Its bikes are designed in Finland, engineered in Taiwan, and marketed worldwide. Tern collaborates across time zones even as the office strengthens its base.
The move highlights Tern’s dedication to urban mobility—not just through its bikes, but equally by choosing work environments that match its mission.
My take on this: If Tern is producing bikes like the Orox, then they’re know what they are doing. Also see our visit to Tern from a few years back.
