Cargo bike
Tern GSD
The GSD is Tern’s compact family longtail. This page also explains how it differs from the shorter HSD.
What kind of bike is it?
Tern GSD, briefly explained.
The GSD is designed for two children and plenty of luggage, while the shorter HSD is aimed more at one passenger or cargo. Both share the compact 20-inch concept, Bosch drive system, adjustable riding position and a very extensive accessory range.
Look closely
What you should know.
- The GSD and its accessories are high quality, but priced accordingly.
- The standard suspension fork is an additional wear component; in our long-term review, individual failures occurred.
Who is it for?
Choose the GSD for two children and maximum versatility; choose the HSD for less cargo space, tighter storage and a format that feels even more like a regular city bike.
