Tern Electric Bikes
GSD
The new GSD takes the family electric cargo bike to another level. Smarter than ever and packing more muscle with a re-engineered frame that can handle up to 463 lb, allowing you to carry 2 loved ones and weekly grocery with ease; similar in length to a regular bike, but surprisingly manageable.
HSD
The HSD is the right amount of bike if you want the benefits of a cargo bike but still fancy the convenience and handling of something less bulky. Lean and nimble, the HSD is shorter than a regular bike yet capable of hauling a max gross vehicle weight (MGVW) of 397 lb.
Vektron
The Vektron is a best-in-class electric bike that folds in 10 seconds to go on trains, in cars, and under desks. Shorten distances and flatten the hills on your commute, or put a couple of Vektrons in the trunk of your car on your next trip, so you can explore further.
