THE HSD SERIES OVERVIEW

Choose your flavor in the HSD series, designed to 'Haul Stuff Daily' or be whatever suits your fancy! There are three models to choose from in the HSD lineup, all fitting well within Tern's description of the HSD as 'enormously useful, surprisingly smaller.' The all-new HSD is the GSD's little sister, offering a smaller overall footprint and lively ride. All three models of the HSD come equipped with 20" wheels.

The HSD P9 offers a lower price tag ($3199) with the Bosch Active Line Plus motor, 400Wh battery and 9-speed gearing. Bump up to the HSD S8i ($3799) and you'll find a Shimano Nexus 8-speed internally geared hub and ultra low-maintenance Gates carbon belt drive versus a traditional chain and derailleur setup. Finally, the HSD S+ ($5199, ETA mid-2020) offers a more powerful motor (Bosch Performance Line), 500Wh battery versus 400Wh, automatic shifting with the Enviolo 380 sport hub, Gates carbon belt drive, and Cane Creek Thudbuster suspension seatpost. 

CUSTOMIZE YOUR RIDE

No matter which model speaks to you, all of the HSDs offer the same vast array of accessory options in order to suit your individual needs. Whether it's kids, cargo or both - we've got you covered! All models of the HSD fit one Thule Yepp Maxi, Yepp Nexxt Maxi or Bobike GO Maxi child seat, with no adapters needed.

―Lightweight, Space-Saving E-Cargo Bike―

"Tern’s HSD is a midsize cargo bike that shares many features with the original GSD. Fold down the HSD’s handlebar unit and the bike stands on its rear rack, taking up about as much space as a floor lamp. The fat 55mm Schwalbe tires on 20-inch wheels roll smoothly, with a custom Suntour suspension fork providing a bit of extra comfort and control. Topping out at 20 mph, the Bosch Active Line Plus motor is glassy smooth and nearly silent, as is the low-maintenance Gates belt drive and Shimano Nexus 8-speed internally geared hub. A 400Wh battery provides up to 69 miles of range and is secured by the same key that locks the built-in ring lock. The HSD can handle up to 374 pounds, accepts one child seat, and works with a variety of cargo accessories for the front and rear for all your commuting and errand-running pleasure." - Bicycling.com
