A host of subtle, but highly functional, updates make an already-fantastic cargo bike option even better.
Ultra-compact size combined with full-sized hauling capability, super broad array of accessories, improved ride and handling, quieter and more powerful motor, great range, generally excellent spec.
Finicky kickstand, 20″ front wheel still makes for somewhat twitchy handling, one-size-doesn’t-really-fit-all.

In this Tern GSD S00 LX review we discuss with Tern what makes this bike unique, while testing out handling, motor, and brake capabilities.

Verdict: The new updated GSD is still the pick of the bunch, and this is the pick of the specs.

The new GSD G2 is Tern's new version of its high-in-demand electric cargo bike. Improved features and a new safety standard help you GSD.

Is the Tern GSD S00 E-cargo bike literally living on the edge? Is putting a 115 kg rider on the smallest bike in the test a recipe for disaster? We sent our biggest test rider to check whether this little E-cargo bike is bombproof. Equipped with a dual battery system and two bottles of beer, the little Tern had to show what it's capable of!
Can be stowed anywhere thanks to its compact dimensions, even fitting in the back of an estate!
Well thought out concept, standard euro boxes fit the rack perfectly
Comfortable tire-rim combination
Convenient manoeuvring handle on the saddle
Low-slung frame
Limited climbing capabilities due to the limited gear range of the Enviolo Cargo drivetrain
Nervous handling, especially without a load
Old generation Bosch Performance Line CX motor
Wobbly stand that is difficult to fold out

Price: $4999.00 | Model Year: 2019 | A sturdy, reliable, non-flexy, compact electric cargo bike with plenty of accessories to transport kids or even other adults, rated to haul up to 400 lbs
A sturdy, reliable, non-flexy, compact electric cargo bike with plenty of accessories to transport kids or even other adults, rated to haul up to 400 lbs
Highly visible with reflective tires, frame and bag decals, and integrated LED lights, great fenders and chain protector
Can be stored vertically on the back rack in an upright position to fit into elevators, closets, and other tight spaces, optional second battery and efficient mid-drive offer up to 150 miles per charge
Only available in one frame size but the Andros stem and telescoping seat post fit a full range of body types, despite having fatter tires the smaller diameter and lack of suspension can be jarring, the bike can be a bit tippy side-to-side and it's heavy at 71.5lbs
