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 is the moment it earns the difference, and it is not something you can add later.
It is also a Bosch Smart System bike, which the P10 and P00 are not. That means eBike Alarm and GPS tracking, your phone as the key, Hill Hold when you stop on a grade, and updates over the air. Add the Cane Creek suspension seatpost and a 545 Wh battery with a second bay, on the same 463 lb capacity every GSD has.
RI residents: the Erika Niedowski Memorial E-Bike Rebate pays $350 back on this bike, up to $750 if you income-qualify. You apply yourself after purchase, and we'll show you how. How it works
Since 2018, nobody has returned a bike. We take the time to get it right.
A year of free unlimited tune-ups and labor, then 20% off labor for life
Bosch and only Bosch since 2018, using Bosch's own dealer diagnostic tool
Fitted to you, with kid seats and racks set up before you ride away
Why the S10
Three thousand more than the P10, and here is where it goes
Both bikes carry a Bosch Cargo Line motor rated at 85 Nm and 400% assist. What differs is everything around it, and whether it can ever be more than 85 Nm.
One: Bosch ABS
Two kids on the back, wet leaves on Hope Street, heading downhill into a stop sign. That is the moment it pays for itself, and it is not a moment you get to rehearse. You cannot 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. In a city with Brown and RISD in it, parked outside a building you do not control, that is not a novelty feature. eBike Lock. Your phone is the key. Walk away and the motor locks itself. Nothing to carry, nothing to 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. Stop halfway up a grade with a loaded rack and the bike holds instead of rolling back into whoever is behind you. You will use this every single ride in this city. A Kiox display with navigation instead of Purion’s row of LEDs, 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 is not a luxury item.
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
The Greener, Leaner Family Minivan
A more efficient alternative to the family minivan that’ll let you breeze past traffic jams and ditch the gas pump, the GSD comfortably carries up to 2 kids, from toddlers to teens, making school runs and shuffling from one activity to the next stress-free. It’ll even take an adult passenger, so you can keep the fun times rolling when it’s just you and your +1.
Fits your needs
Choose from our wide range of modular accessories for passengers, pets, and cargo to transform the GSD into your ideal vehicle for tackling big and small tasks. Whether it’s safely transporting kids in all sorts of weather, hauling gear to your next gig, or grabbing the obligatory pizza & 12 pack for game night, the GSD is made to fit your life and everything that comes with it.
Carries more than ever
Built on a stronger, stiffer frame with optimized geometry to handle its biggest payload capacity yet, the beefed up GSD proves that you can haul, well, just about anything with the right bike and a little ingenuity, especially when you’ve got a best-in-class max gross vehicle weight of 210 kg (463 lb) at your disposal.
Committed to your safety
The GSD passed rigorous 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. Plus, its entire Bosch® eBike system, including the motor, battery, and charger, is certified to UL 2849 to ensure fire safety.
