181 Brook St, Providence, RI Open Wednesday to Saturday
Tern GEN3 GSD S10
$7,999.00
The only Tern GSD under ten thousand dollars with Bosch ABS. Two kids on the back, wet leaves, heading downhill into a stop sign: that’s the moment it earns the difference, and it’s not something you can add later.
It’s also a Bosch Smart System bike, which the P10 and P00 aren’t. That means eBike Alarm and GPS tracking, your phone as the key, Hill Hold when you stop while walking it up a grade, and updates over the air. It also gets the Cane Creek suspension seatpost and a 545 Wh battery with a second bay, with the same 463 lb capacity every GSD has.

Why the S10
What the extra $3,000 over the P10 gets you
Both bikes carry a Bosch Cargo Line motor rated at 85 Nm and 400% assist. What differs is everything around it.
One: Bosch ABS
It matters most with two kids on the back, heading downhill into a stop sign on wet leaves on Hope Street. You can’t add it later, and no other GSD under ten thousand dollars has it.
Two: it’s a Smart System bike and the P10 isn’t
eBike Alarm and GPS tracking. If you park outside places you don’t control, that’s worth having. eBike Lock. Your phone is the key. Walk away and the motor locks itself. There’s no extra key to carry or forget. Over the air updates. Bosch ships new features to the drive unit over Bluetooth, so the bike gets better after you have paid for it. Hill Hold. Walk the bike up a grade with walk assist, stop, and it holds instead of rolling back into whoever is behind you. A Kiox display with navigation instead of the small Purion display, and a 545 Wh battery on Bosch’s current platform rather than the 500 Wh one on the way out.
Then the Cane Creek suspension seatpost, which on 20″ wheels over Providence pavement helps a lot.
What’s on it
Bosch Cargo Line on the Smart System, 85 Nm, 400% assist. PowerPack 545 Wh, dual battery ready like every GSD. Shimano Deore 1×10, the same chain drivetrain as the P10. Magura four piston discs with Bosch ABS. Cane Creek suspension seatpost. 463 lb gross vehicle weight, 220 lb rear rack.
Ride one on Brook Street
ABS is worth feeling before you pay for it. Come brake one hard in the lot. 181 Brook St, Providence.
Tern GSD (Gen 3) features
A minivan alternative
The GSD can stand in for a minivan on a lot of trips, with no gas and no sitting in traffic. It carries up to 2 kids, from toddlers to teens, for school runs and getting from one activity to the next. It’ll take an adult passenger too.
Fits your needs
Tern makes a lot of accessories for passengers, pets and cargo, so you can set the GSD up for what you need to carry. That could be kids in any weather, gear for a gig, or pizza and a 12 pack for game night.
Carries more than ever
The GSD has a stronger, stiffer frame and updated geometry to handle its biggest load rating yet: a max gross vehicle weight of 210 kg (463 lb), which Tern says is best in class.
Committed to your safety
The GSD passed stress testing by EFBE Prüftechnik GmbH, with forces scaled up to ensure the frame and fork can reliably handle its 210 kg (463 lb) weight rating as specified in the German DIN 79010 cargo bike safety standard. Its whole Bosch® eBike system, including the motor, battery and charger, is certified to UL 2849 for fire safety.
