Tern NBD Accessory Guide

Heads up!

This article mentions third-party child seats that are not manufactured by Tern. Please note that child seat designs might change, and that their manufacturers may choose to maintain the same product name even after the design has changed.

For your safety, always consult with your bike dealer, or with the child seat manufacturer or reseller, to make sure you have the right seats to safely carry your kid(s).

The NBD is all about smiles and comfort. And we're hoping once you start riding, you won't want to stop. But before you can begin zipping around doing grocery runs, or setting off on an adventure with the little one, you'll need to make sure you outfit the bike with the right accessories.

This article will introduce you to the various accessories available for your NBD, and provide some riding and safety tips when carrying a passenger or cargo.

Passenger-carrying accessories

There's nothing like sharing a smile. The NBD's specially designed Gaia Rack is built strong with a carrying capacity of 27 kg (60 lb), and pairs well with many child seats so you and your little one can enjoy rides together.

  • Seating: 1 compatible child seat
  • Double kickstand (optional): DuoStand S*

*An optional double kickstand is strongly recommended for extra stability when loading and unloading a child.

Child seats should always include the required elements for safe passenger carrying: seating, safety harness, foot support, and foot and leg protection. At present, we recommend any of the rear rack-mounted child seats listed below:

We’ve tested each child seat model to make sure it’s a good fit. And as long as the weight of Junior plus the seat doesn’t exceed the Gaia Rack’s carrying capacity, you'll be set to begin exploring together.

And don’t forget—even with the rear rack space occupied by a child seat, you still have the option of placing you and your child’s belongings at the front of the NBD with the right accessories installed.

Tips for Carrying Passengers and Cargo

  • Check local regulations to make sure carrying passengers on a bike is legal in your area.
  • Helmets are cool, and they save lives! Both rider and passenger should always wear an approved helmet when riding.
  • Do not leave children unattended on the bike, even if it is on the kickstand.
  • Passengers and cargo add weight to the bike. Practice riding with extra load in a safe area before hitting the road.
  • Make sure the total weight of passenger + rider + NBD + any installed accessory + cargo is under 140 kg (309 lb).
