The Tern GSD S10 Electric Cargo Bike – Redefining practicality!

The Tern GSD S10 Folding Electric Cargo Bike is designed to carry two kids, a week’s worth of groceries, or 180 kg of cargo, but it’s only 180 cm long—the same length as a standard bike. With Tern’s best-in-class folding technology, it folds down small enough to fit in an estate car / MPV. Plus, it is adjustable to fit riders from 150 – 195 cm—so dad, mum and the kids can all share it!

Despite its size it is a great load lugger, the GSD is the same length as a standard bike, so it fits anywhere a regular bike can. But there are lots of places a regular bicycle doesn’t fit. That’s why the GSD is designed to pack down to one third of its volume in roughly 10 seconds. This means you can store your cargo bike in your city flat, fit it in the lift, or take it on a train for weekends in the country.

With room for up to two Thule Yepp Maxi child seats, plus shopping space to spare, the GSD lets you leave the car at home.  The low-step frame design makes getting on and off much easier, and with an extra low centre of gravity, the GSD is stable, even when fully-loaded.

The Tern GSD has cargo-bike capacity, despite its city-bike size — it can carry up to 180 kg (including rider). Build it up with Cargo Hold Panniers and the Shortbed and Transporteur racks, to carry industrial strength Euro-crates, a weeks worth of shopping or a family picnic!

The GSD also has the potential to be a great touring machine. It has room for six Ortlieb bags (4 on the rear rack and 2 on the front), and a range of up to 150 miles. A bit of careful packing lets you bring a full touring load, together with a small passenger. That means two GSD’s can let a family of four go off touring with no need for a bike trailer.

Riding fully loaded or with kids on the back, uphill? Not a problem. The Bosch Performance Line CX motor is designed for mountain bikes, and produces up to 75Nm of torque.

The GSD is one of the few bikes equipped with Bosch’s Dual-Battery technology. You can connect up to two batteries for a range of over 150 miles. Spend all day touring the countryside, or commute for a week on a single charge.

Cycling is safer when you move at the speed of city traffic. Fast acceleration is a given with a Bosch Performance motor combined with smaller wheels. Tern have developed custom, virtually flat-proof, Schwalbe tyres to give sure-footed stability on even the roughest of roads. Add super-bright LED lights, reflective decals, and a see-and-be-seen riding position, and you have a bike optimised for safety.
