Tern GSD v2 e-cargo bike review: The mini powerhouse, now more refined - CyclingTips

Dec 2022 · James Huang

A host of subtle, but highly functional, updates make an already-fantastic cargo bike option even better.

Highs
  • 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.

Lows
  • Finicky kickstand, 20″ front wheel still makes for somewhat twitchy handling, one-size-doesn’t-really-fit-all.

Tern GSD S00 E-cargo bike in Review

Jul 2020 · Philipp Schwab

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!

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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

Tern GSD S00 Review

May 2020

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

Observations
  • 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

Park the car, Tern has thought of nearly everything on the GSD. For urban, everyday utility it's close to perfect. Buy if you're a city dweller who wants to forget about all the hassles of a car

Highs
  • Easy to ride, low standover, wide range of sizing adjustments, huge carrying capacity, smart accessories, stands on end

Lows
  • Heavy overall, small wheels and hard tires have stiff, harsh ride
