I love it! No suspension, no folding mechanism, relatively light weight. Perfect. I don't see US customers getting the D8, though. For $300 more, getting the Performance Line motor and higher top speed is a great deal!

Just joined the Tern family with a GSD from Hardt Family Cyclery 😁 and am excited about the Quick Haul as a future second ebike so when one parent and two kids are on the GSD, the other parent can keep up!

I didn't know there's an e-bike version of the Quick Haul! I wish the e-bikes of Tern come into the Philippines soon! 🙏🏻🤩

Thanks for the transparency up front that this (p)review is being presented by the Tern Marketing lead. I'm currently debating whether to get the Quick Haul D8 (~$1300 out-of-pocket after my voucher) or the Rad Wagon 4 (just $300 post-tax refund voucher!) or something totally different, such as a folding model I can carry up the stairs of my apartment. At first it seemed like a no-brainer that the Rad Wagon would be a much better deal for me, but my LBS is trying to convince me that the build quality/parts/standard sizing of the Tern makes it the better choice. But a full thousand dollars better?! I'm within the poverty bracket for a single person in the U.S., and the most I've spent on a bike was $500, and I've put thousands and thousands of miles on that commuter-turned-touring bike. Getting an e-bike is a big step, not just in terms of cost, weight, and size (storing it without it immediately getting stolen is a big concern), but because I have to put down my pride/resentment of the booming e-trend that has put so many zooming motorized playthings on every trail and bike lane without most of them engaging in any physical exercise that's a hallmark of human-powered mobility. I welcome any thoughtful perspectives on the pros and cons, esp. the relative value between different makes and styles of e-bike.

Just had a chance to sample a demo in london (euro spec) with my toddler in the back. Totally terrific product. Placed a deposit straight away

Such a cool bike! Excited how many people will be able to enjoy a bike this cool.

I have gotten spoiled with the easy maintenance of my commuter bike with the Shimano Nexus 7 speed internal geared hub. Now that Shimano is building 5 and 7 speed hubs specifically designed for eBikes, it would be nice if a bike like this would have that option. I don't miss dinking with deraileur adjustments and maintenance.

We love our GSD for hauling a lot of stuff and bought the Vektron for a 2nd e-bike for it's compact size and foldability. I think the short haul will make that 2nd e-bike more affordable for a family that might be stretching the budget to go with a Vektron. I know we love having two e-bike options in our garage and also being able to ride together.

This is one nice looking bike! Thanks for the overview!

Love it! Hopefully, I can get moved into a location where I can bike to work. (Currently, it's a 27-mile ride, and that's on horrifically bad traffic areas!)

I recently bought a Quick Haul and while in general, I agree it's an excellent bike, I do have a couple nits to pick. My LBS mounted the front fender 1/16" above the tire which I hadn't noticed until I rode through some 1/8" gravel and heard it scraping the fender. When I got home I raised the fender but then the headlight hit on the front Transporteur rack above it. I had to saw the bottom 1/2 of the built-in reflector off of the headlight to make everything fit properly The rear Shortbed Tray rack had to be raised up on about 2cm of spacers so that it could move forward enough to not overhang the 4 rear posts made for storing the bike vertically. Even so, the LBS stuck some rubber pads on the rack so it wouldn't get scraped. You didn't make the Quick Haul when you introduced the Shortbed Tray but it appears to have required something of a kluge to get it to fit properly. Neither is a deal breaker but something to consider for the next version of bikes, racks, and lights.

Great video! Everyone should be on one!

I like how she pushes that rear wheel back giving space for a second battery. I'm really hurting for range with my single 14AH battery.

This new bike looks great. But why is the Vektron S10 now $900 (it appears to have increased in price again to $4200 though I don’t think it’s been available anywhere in the US in many months) more than the higher end model ($3300) of this new bike? Is the S10 even being produced any longer? I think it’s a wonderful bike. 😍

NEEDS an IGH. Derailleurs are such a pain for maintenance and urban riding in general.

Quick haul has nothing I didn't want on the HSD: Handlepost, adjustable stem, telescopic seat post but it lacks the ability to haul two kids. Also it's great to have Performance line motor.

Looks like a great bike!

If you unlock the front stem, can you rotate the bars 180 degrees? Want to be able to store it along the garage wall and still fit the car in. (City garage)

Do you foresee Tern creating an ebike with a throttle? Will Tern support users to install throttle after purchase (like Specialized does with the Globe Haul)?

Ouch! $3000 ebike that is billed as a bike without the extras! Like the design, better thought out than most. Love the Bosch mid-drive. Brilliant, this is better, smarter than most ebikes companies on the market who seem to be stuck in the past and fail to evolve. Why not an Internal gear hub with belt drive - cleaner design, no chain to muck up, fewer bits and pieces sticking out to get caught on things, damaged, etc., and lower maintenance? The label for the bike is, 'Tern Quick Haul E-Bike' - yet the rear rack is rated at only 124 lbs. I would say that a design flaw for a bike with "Haul" in the title. Perhaps in a future upgrade, they can find a more robust structure connecting to the frame, allowing a passenger to ride on the back. Best of luck with this design, but at $3000 it's a bit to rich for a starter ebike for me.

I’ve been really confused about the BBB tax credit, did that pass? When we bought our HSD last week our dealer didn’t mention anything about the credit so I’m assuming it didn’t? Any clarity on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for that video. I am wondering, what is the major difference between HSD and Quick Haul? Both are about the same size. I know the HSD list price is a bit higher than the Quick Haul, but street price are pretty much comparable already. I was looking for the Quick Haul, but the HSD for the same price (in Germany) was already available, so I took the HSD 🙂 Would be happy to see a comparison video with a pro and con list for each bike and what speaks for each of them. EDIT: Haha, when writing a comment before the video ends. Looking forward to the comparison Video 🙂

I don’t see any of the kids accessories especially the storm shield and storm box as “compatible” on the website. Can you confirm if this is the case?

I thought that was a second battery, oh well. What kind of grunt does the motor have? Also, not seeing a throttle? Unfortunately, not rated for us heavier riders.

Do you think this could carry for a short ride an adult on the back ?

would this be available with the gates carbon belt and an Enviolo hub?

Given that speeds in the UK are capped at 15.5mph, does getting a P9 over a D8 make much sense?

I would have preferred a 2 battery system

What happened to a video every Monday? I thought you might teach me how to change a flat (Vektron S10). 🤓

I appreciate you and Tern wanting to share your plans with us as early as possible. Still, I would have recommended holding this video until we had a very solid release date and then only if that date was imminent.

We've been loving our original GSD for a while and are strongly considering this as a second ebike for the family. Is that Q3 date for all the bikes or can we expect demo models to start filtering out to bike shops before that so we can give it a try and put in a preorder?

Okay my key question is : Will this E-bike be coming to the UK and if so when can I expect to see it in my local showroom? Oh and for how much will it cost me as here in the UK we use ££'s not $$'s as I presume you are aware ?

Anyone have experience with the Bosch motor in cold cold weather?

Does Term have a throttle to assist when starting on a hill?

Is the Q3 date for Europe also?

4/11 to 6/5, what is that in real measurements, for people outside US and Myanmar? ;-)

You're still Denver, right? I keep looking for places to try one out and when I call it's not actually THERE. Any pointers?

When can i buy this bike? Is it available for sale specifically the p9 performance in the United States? Thanks

Do you have a recommendation for a frame lock for the quickhaul?

I just wish we could leave cables in the past where they belong and just use electronic shifting.

The price is ridiculously high
