The biggest deal with [the Vektron] is that it features a high-quality gold standard Bosch electric drivetrain [...]. It's well worth reading our page on electric bikes, highlighted above, to understand why the battery and motor choice really make a difference on ride quality of e-bikes, but in summary: you get what you pay for.
Definitely, I'm a fan. [...] I feel like Tern does a really good job with their products, the customer support. And the fact that they have four versions of this bike really lets you dial in.
If you need a cargo e-bike that can haul a lot but do it in a smaller, more nimble size, this is your best bet.
To say I loved the Tern GSD S10 is an understatement. It's by far the easiest electric cargo bike I've tested in terms of direct car swaps, using for ferrying round child and accompany paraphilia, shopping and even both at the same time as there's so much versatility and cargo load option.
I ride a Tern GSD S00, which is a mid-tail bike. It has a maximum weight capacity of around 450 pounds, and it's not very long, which means that it can't carry as much stuff as easily as a bakfiets, but it’s lighter and more maneuverable.

How far can a Tern electric bike go on one charge?
Range varies by model, battery size, assist mode, rider weight, terrain, wind, and cargo load. As a reference, Tern highlights up to ~130 km range on the Vektron with a Bosch PowerPack under ideal conditions. For real-world Canadian riding, many riders plan for a lower range and choose battery capacity accordingly—Scooteretti can help you match battery size to your commute or cargo needs.
How much weight can a Tern cargo eBike carry (GSD / HSD)?
Tern cargo eBikes are designed for real hauling. The Tern GSD is commonly referenced with a maximum gross vehicle weight of 200 kg (440 lb) (this total includes rider + passengers + cargo + accessories). If you’re carrying kids, an adult passenger, or heavy loads, we’ll help you configure the right racks/rails and accessory setup for safe, stable handling.
Does the Tern Vektron fold, and how fast?
Yes—Vektron is Tern’s Bosch-powered folding eBike line, and Tern states it folds in about 10 seconds for easy storage in condos, offices, vehicles, and mixed-mode commuting. If you want, Scooteretti can show you the fold in person and recommend accessories that make rolling/storing even easier.
How long does it take to charge a Tern (Bosch) eBike battery?
Charging time depends on battery capacity and charger type. Tern notes Bosch PowerPack batteries can reach ~50% in about 1.5 hours and full in ~2.5–3.5 hours with the optional Bosch 4A charger (varies by battery). For daily commuting, many riders top up between rides rather than draining the battery to empty.
Can I leave my Bosch/Tern battery charging overnight?
Generally, yes—Tern’s Bosch battery-care guidance indicates it’s safe to leave the battery charging overnight before a long ride (assuming you’re using the correct Bosch charger and charging in a suitable environment). For best battery longevity, store/charge at moderate temperatures and avoid leaving batteries in extreme cold.
We recommend investing in a plug in timer. They are cost effective with will automatically cut power off to the charger after a set period of time.
Do Tern bikes have a throttle?
Tern electric bikes are designed with a focus on safety, efficiency, and providing a natural cycling experience. As such, they are not equipped with a throttle. Instead, Tern ebikes are equipped with a pedal-assist system, which senses your pedaling and provides a boost of power accordingly. This design ensures a smooth, intuitive ride that still feels like traditional cycling but with less effort. The pedal-assist system allows for more control and a more active riding experience, aligning with Tern's commitment to both comfort and environmental responsibility.
Are Tern eBikes legal in Canada (Ontario / Québec)?
Yes all Tern bikes are fully complaint across Canada and respect the definition of a Power Assisted Bicycle making them legal to use anywhere where a traditional bicycle can be used.
What accessories do I need to carry kids or passengers safely on a Tern GSD?
For family setups, the “right” accessories depend on child age/size and your cargo style. Tern provides passenger/cargo guidance for the GSD, and most families build around protective side rails/handholds, seat pads or child seats, and weather/storage solutions. Scooteretti can recommend a safe, tidy configuration and set it up professionally before pickup.
How do you charge a Tern battery?
For charging the Bosch battery while it's mounted on the bike, locate the charging port on the lower part of the battery mount. If you're charging the battery off the bike, simply insert the charger plug directly into the base of the Bosch battery pack. This dual-option charging setup offers you the flexibility to charge in whichever way is most convenient for you, whether it's keeping the battery on the bike or taking it inside for charging.
