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.

What is the top speed of a Tern eBike?
Each Tern bike we sell has a top speed under electric assist of 32 Kph (20 Mph) per Canadian regulations.
You can increase your speed using your own human power, such as when going downhill. However, the electric assist will not be available to assist you in these situations.
Operating an electric bicycle with assist that exceeds this speed on public roads is prohibited by law, and riders can face criminal charges if found doing so.

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.
What does the GSD stand for in Tern?
These three letters represent "Get Stuff Done," encapsulating the impressive capabilities of these bikes due to their substantial load capacity and array of accessories.
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.
What kind of battery do Tern ebikes use?
Tern electric bikes are equipped with state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, exclusively manufactured by Bosch, a leader in electric bike technology. These batteries are renowned not just for their efficiency and reliability, but also for their high capacity and safety standards. Depending on the model of the Tern ebike, the batteries come with a capacity of 400Wh or more, providing ample power for extended rides and robust performance.
One of the standout features of these Bosch-manufactured batteries is their industry-leading lifecycle. They are designed to last longer than most other ebike batteries on the market, offering a sustainable and cost-effective solution for electric bike users. Additionally, each battery is UL certified, ensuring the highest safety standards. This certification is significant as it sets Tern's batteries apart from many others in the market, underlining the brand's commitment to not only performance but also rider safety and product reliability.
