The Tern GSD P10 (Gen 3) is a longtail electric cargo bike with a Bosch Cargo Line mid-drive rated 85 Nm and a 500 Wh Bosch PowerPack 500; Bosch prints watt-hours only, so no voltage or amp-hour figure is given. The frame has two battery bays for an optional second 500 Wh pack.
It has Magura MT5 four-piston hydraulic brakes on 180 mm rotors, a Suntour suspension fork with 50 mm of travel and Schwalbe tires with Green Guard puncture protection. Tern lists 76.4 lb and a 463 lb maximum gross vehicle weight, with 220 lb on the Atlas rear rack.
It assists to 20 mph with no throttle, and Tern claims 25 to 63 miles on one pack. Lights, fenders, a locking dual-leg kickstand and a frame lock keyed to the battery are fitted. The GSD P00 ($5,999.00) shares the battery, motor, brakes and fork and swaps the Deore 1x10 chain drive for an Enviolo hub and Gates belt.
Every order ships to a Tern dealer for assembly and pickup.
