Haul. Stuff. Daily.

The HSD is mighty but mini: It's easy to handle, easy to share, extremely comfortable to ride, carries a whole lot of cargo—and all of this in a compact design that's shorter than a standard bicycle. Whether you're riding, storing, or moving it around, the HSD is a breeze to handle.

This bike is great for:

• Everyday commuting, but more fun!
• Families: carry one child and still have tons of cargo space
• Towing a trailer: hitch mount built-in
• Apartment living: fits in all kinds of small spaces
• Cargo transportation and utility
• Farm, and tool transportation: ideal for tradespeople
• Restaurant delivery services.
• Off-road adventures
• Winter cycling 4/5❄️

The Tern HSD is shorter than a regular bike and its weight is the same as a regular e-bike. Fifteen seconds and the HSD transforms into a flat package that's perfect for fitting into SUVs, station wagons, or bus storage compartments. The HSD flips up for convenient vertical parking. Take it upstairs in an elevator and park it inside at home or at work—it needs just a wee bit of floor space.

Carry Almost Anything

The HSD is a mid-sized cargo bike with serious hauling capacity. With a maximum gross vehicle weight of 170 kg (374 lb) and an XL-sized Atlas H Rack, it'll carry a week's worth of groceries or camping equipment for the weekend. It even has a dedicated trailer mount, so adding extra cargo is a cinch.

The New Family Vehicle

Bring the kiddo. The HSD's extra-long Atlas H Rack gives plenty of heel clearance and room for your kiddo to enjoy the view rather than being smushed up against your back. The rack is rated to 60 kg (132 lb), so when paired with the Passenger Kit, the HSD is ready for your growing family. Coming in 2022 is the Clubhouse MINI to keep your kids -- or furry friends! -- safe from the elements while you're out riding.

Ride Every Day

With a longer wheelbase and extra-low center of gravity, the HSD is smoother and more stable than a standard e-bike. Easy-Step frame design paired with an adjustable stem and seatpost offers a comfortable upright riding position for both taller and shorter riders. Add a suspension fork and balloon tires and even the meanest cobblestone roads are comfortably navigated.
