Tern GSD S10 Electric Truck Bike Review: The Best Small Electric Truck Bikes

That being said, my family and I are year-round riders living in Portland, Oregon. I live in horror, something happens to my kids on bikes, and when I force most of my spouse to ride bikes and ride with the kids, I’ve been on the hill multiple times because he’s much older than me and I’m scared. If it is you, then you need ABS brakes. This could have made me fear quite a lot.

If safety is also one of your main issues, the S10 also complies with DIN 79010, which is the German safety standard, the only cargo bicycle standard that exists. The frame of the new rebar was tested under DIN 79010 and proven safety up to 463 pounds. Under DIN 79010, other components, such as the rear rack, bracket and brake system are tested, which is important because you don’t want the rack to collapse or fall when tying the baby to the Thule seat.

My kids are now 7 and 10 years old and riding their own beautiful mountain bikes, but I did have cover and chips on the steepest hills near me, with a score of about 10 to 15%, and I feel very safe with its parking ability. If my kids are still young, paying for ABS braking is a great way to expand your bike’s use in the rain.

With a smart system, you can also pay for GPS tracking if it is stolen, locked, the Bosch ebike Flow app connected to your phone, and customizable drive settings so you can adjust the power settings for ECO, Tour, Sport, and Turbo.

This is important because my old tern already has a dual battery installed so I forgot that it has a very small range. Going 12 miles at over 20 mph and draining the battery to 50% in less than an hour, I’m a relatively small person (115 lbs). If you think of it as a commuter, I’ll do dual battery on this right away. The Tern has a Kiox 300 Bosch display that is easy to scroll, but with the Flow app, I might also probably just pop it up (you can pop it out!) and then place the phone on the bike mount.

It can be hard to swallow: the bike costs $7,000, which is just the starting point. You will need another battery and I promise you will want accessories, especially if you have kids. Tern’s accessories are unparalleled, especially if you have kids. I have a storm box that protects my kids while riding in the rain. You can also wear a sun shield to protect your child from sunlight or integrated towing rods so you can easily add a trailer.
