Tern Quick Haul Long launched earlier today. It’s the latest in Tern’s line of cargo bikes and is offered at a more accessible price. Whatever you have planned, this compact cargo bike is up for the task and ready to go.
“The compact cargo bike category emerged with the launch of the GSD in 2018,” said Josh Hon, Tern Team Captain. “Our customers were impressed by how such a compact bike could manage tasks usually reserved for cars. Since then, we’ve gained valuable insights into enhancing cargo bikes, which we’ve incorporated into the Quick Haul Long. This bike retains the GSD’s key features but is offered at a more accessible price, maintaining the same high standards of safety and reliability.”
Ed note: as an early adopter, I never expected cargo bikes to be a status symbol at school pickup, or embraced to this extent by families.
Built around 20” wheels, the QHL is about the same length as a regular city bike, but rated for a maximum gross vehicle weight of 190 kg (419 lbs). That means the frame can easily support two children or even an adult on back. The low center of gravity, stiff frame, and optimized design for rider comfort, makes for a smooth ride smooth and stability under load.
The QHL features a robust Bosch Cargo Line motor. Despite Bosch’s reputation as a leader in high-end e-bike systems, the Quick Haul Long remains one of the most competitively priced premium cargo bikes available. For riders who have previously chosen discount models, the Quick Haul Long presents a compelling alternative. Its enhanced performance, improved serviceability, and superior reliability and safety features make it a worthwhile investment and a smart long-term choice.
The Quick Haul Long price is $3,799 USD. Pricing may vary by market. Bikes will begin arriving in bike shops in Europe and North America in August.
