Our verdict

The Quick Haul D8 is the entry-level Quick Haul: 22.8 kg, 1.73 m long, a 50 kg rear rack and a quiet 50 Nm Bosch motor. It suits everyday errands and one child in flat cities, not heavy loads or steep hills.

Pros

  • Light at 22.8 kg and only 1.73 m long
  • Affordable entry into Tern's cargo range
  • Can stand upright on its rear rack
  • Relatively light for a cargo bike at 22.8 kg
  • Compact 1,725 mm length fits lifts and hallways

Cons

  • 50 Nm motor is modest on steep hills with a load
  • 150 kg total limit is low for a heavy rider plus child
  • No suspension
  • Only 50 Nm of torque — struggles on steep hills when loaded
  • Derailleur drivetrain wears faster under cargo loads

Ideal for…

  • Shopping, commuting and errands in town
  • One small child and limited storage space

Not recommended if…

  • Two children or heavy cargo
  • Hilly areas with a full load
  • You need to carry more than one child
  • You regularly haul heavy commercial loads

Who it is for

The Tern Quick Haul D8 is for people who want more carrying capacity than a normal e-bike but not the price or size of a full cargo bike. It is 1.73 m long and weighs 22.8 kg, so it fits in a hallway and is easy to lift. The rear rack takes 50 kg: enough for a week's shopping or one child in a suitable seat.

Riding and everyday use

The Bosch Active Line Plus motor with 50 Nm is quiet and feels natural, but it is made for flat and gently rolling cities rather than steep hills with a full load. The 500 Wh battery covers daily trips; around 40 km is realistic with a load. The 8-speed derailleur and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes are simple and cheap to maintain.

Before you buy

The total weight limit is 150 kg, which leaves less room for a heavier rider plus child. There is no suspension, so rough roads are felt more. The bike can stand upright on its rear rack, which helps in small storage spaces.
