Product Reviews

Camping

A compact bike makes life easier when you're out and about: just dash to the bakery in the morning, explore the surroundings around the campsite or go on excursions: All this works wonderfully with the HSD S8i from Tern.

These electro assist bikes might be small and nimble, but can also hold a fair amount of delivery stock and could be part of the answer to making high street shops more accessible.

Electrek

Both the Tern GSD and HSD passed the new German standard test up to their claimed maximum loads of 200 kg (440 lb) for the GSD and 170 kg (374 lb) for the HSD, which means they meet and exceed the German cargo bike standard.
