Description
A cargo bike built around a passenger
The Tern HSD P00 is a compact electric cargo bike built to take a passenger on the back. Its rear rack carries 80kg and the whole bike is rated to 190kg, which covers a child seat, a growing child, or an adult sitting behind you.
It does that on 20-inch wheels and a frame roughly as long as a normal bike, so it fits through doorways, lives indoors, and stands upright on its rear rack when parked.
Gears that shift smoothly, even at a standstill
The P00’s Enviolo hub has no fixed gears. You turn a dial on the handlebar and the gearing slides to wherever you want it, including while you’re stationary at a red light with a child on the back and a hill in front of you.
If your riding is a chain of junctions, traffic lights and short climbs, this takes a small decision out of every one of them. It’s also the easiest bike to hand to someone who isn’t a confident cyclist, because there’s no such thing as being in the wrong gear. Paired with the Gates belt drive that every Gen 3 HSD runs, there’s nothing to oil and very little to go wrong. If you’ve ridden a GSD P00, this is the same Enviolo and belt setup on the smaller bike.
At £4,700 it’s priced close to the P5i at £4,400, and it makes a really nice choice if you like the idea of never thinking about gears.
Grows with your family
Tern’s seats, handrails and footrests fit the HSD from toddler size upwards and change over as your child does. The bike you buy for the nursery run still works for the secondary school run, and with the adult-rated setup it’ll carry a grown-up passenger too.
Good to ride with an empty rack
The Bosch Performance Line motor’s 75Nm gets you up local hills loaded, and with the seat off you’re left with a comfortable, upright bike that’s pleasant for commuting or the shops.
Fits tall riders, short riders, and both in one household
One frame covers roughly 4’11" to 6’7" and riders up to 130kg, and the cockpit adjusts without tools. If two adults of different heights are going to share the bike, that matters more than any spec on the drivetrain.
The accessories are half the bike
An HSD becomes yours through what you put on it. Captain’s Chair and Clubhouse Mini rails for the passenger, Storm Shield Mini when the weather turns, Storm Box Mini for the shopping run, Transporteur front rack, Hauler Rack, and the Duostand to hold everything steady while you load up. Tern have thought the system through properly and the parts work together.
Come and talk it over with us. We’ll help you choose, we’ll fit it, and it’s all on the shelf in Crouch End.
Book a test ride
We keep an HSD built up and ready, so there’s always a bike here to try. Bring your passenger and ride it loaded, up a hill, on the sort of roads you’d actually use it on.
Book a test ride, or just come down to the shop and see us.
Cycle to Work and ordering
Most of our HSDs are bought through Cycle to Work, which makes a real difference to what you pay. We work with all the main schemes and we’ll talk you through how it applies to a bike at this price. Come in and we’ll get it sorted.
You can also order online in Sky Mist, Basalt or Honey. The P00 is due with us on 15 October. Order or reserve one now and yours comes off that delivery.
