Description
Compact Electric Cargo Bike for Urban Living
The Tern HSD P5i Gen 2 is a mini cargo e-bike built for urban families, commuters, and anyone who wants to haul groceries, gear, or a passenger without the footprint of a full-size cargo bike. Shorter than a regular bike yet capable of carrying 180 kg total load, the HSD combines nimble handling with serious hauling capacity. The reinforced frame is 15% stronger at the head tube and 39% stronger at the bottom bracket than the original design, delivering enhanced stability under load and confident cornering even in tight spaces.
Powered by the Bosch Performance Line Smart System, the HSD delivers 75 Nm of torque and up to 340% pedal assistance, making hills and loaded rides effortless. The 545 Wh PowerPack battery offers a range of 51 to 121 km per charge depending on terrain and assist mode. A Gates Carbon belt drive handles low-maintenance hauling, hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power under load, and the Bosch Smart System lets you monitor battery, range, and service via your smartphone. The HSD is only sold through Tern-authorized dealers, ensuring professional assembly and local support.

Size Information
One Size, Many Riders
HSD Gen 3 — fits 4′11″ to 6′9″
The new HSD Gen 3 fits an even wider range of riders than before: from about 4′11″ to 6′9″ (150–205 cm). The tool-free Comfort Cockpit adjusts in seconds — saddle height, bar height, and reach — so the same bike genuinely works for everyone in the household. The low Easy-Step frame makes mounting easy for smaller riders, and the frame is independently tested to its full 419 lb capacity at every size.
HSD Gen 2 — fits 4′11″ to 6′5″
The Gen 2 HSD fits riders from about 4′11″ to 6′5″. Its adjustable stem lets you change your position in seconds — no tools required — making it easy to share between family members. With the Easy-Step frame, smaller riders can hop on and off with confidence, no gymnastics required.
