Tern GSD

The real test came on a very steep hill that my current electric trike can’t make it up when fully laden… on the Tern we made it to the top without any trouble.

I spent several months — and hundreds of kilometres — on it, and came away very impressed… the workhorse build kit was perfectly adequate.

With two batteries installed, the range exceeded the claimed 150 miles… I chose Turbo most of the time—but it still managed more than a week of daily commuting per overnight charge.

The unique geometry of this bike makes it exceptionally easy to ride… I have a hard time imagining how I’m going to get through a summer without it… It’s like riding on a sexy, blue, cargo-carrying magic carpet.

Both will be reliable transport for your cargo or family for thousands of miles.

Yes, you could buy a (secondhand) car for what the GSD costs. But the running costs are thousands of pounds apart… The more you use the e-bike, the more you’d save… It’s hands down the most useful e-bike I’ve ridden.

I was never a cargo bike kind of guy… Besides being a badass grocery hauler, I loved bringing my son out on the bike. He couldn’t stop smiling and laughing… The little dude was actually saddened to see the bike go and said “why don’t you just buy one.”

We took the GSD on long commutes, beach rides, hauling the kids around town, and fully-loaded trips to the store. In every circumstance, the GSD performed admirably…

..this bike is a game-changer, a car-pooper, sonic reducer, life-changer.

…comes in at the middle of the pack pricewise. But it has our vote for being one of the most versatile, longest-lasting, and smoothest rides out of all of them.

Getting Shit Done (GSD, get it) is really what Tern’s electric utility bike is about. It replaces a car, an SUV, and whatever you want to do because it has a 150-mile range.

Can it carry heavy loads up steep roads? YES!
Can it be used for daily commutes up to 15mi in all weather conditions? YES!
Is it possible to carry more than two children? YES!

Dodging drunkards and double-parked cops tested the bike’s low-speed handling… everyone who kept their hands and feet inside the vehicle loved the view from the back of the GSD.

I couldn’t wipe the dumb grin off my face while riding the GSD S00…the bike feels fast and maneuverable, even while weaving through crowds of people.

One can only be impressed with the Tern GSD… a fun, but also very practical bike, for carrying out all daily tasks… For the busy city family who may have just chosen a car-free lifestyle… it seemed more than obvious.

What do you mainly use the bike for?
For every possible everyday reason. As a real alternative to a car. I have driven almost
311 miles [in the last three months].

For 10hrs 11 mins; I traveled 116 mi, with an 11mph average and 40mph top speed. So if you want to hit the road with a cargo bike, with the Tern GSD S00, you can!

…it’s definitely good at cycling and touring. It’s not just a bike for the city… It climbs very well, rolls safely and quickly. It carries everything.
