Written by the AllCargo editorial team from manufacturer specifications and owner feedback. We did not test-ride this bike. How we review →
Who it is for
The Tern Quick Haul Long D9 is for families who want to carry two children without paying GSD prices. The rear rack is rated for 90 kg, enough for two children in seats or one adult passenger, and the bike is rated for 190 kg in total. At 1.87 m long and 70 cm wide, it is about the size of a normal bike and can stand upright on its rear rack to save space.
Riding and everyday use
The Bosch Cargo Line motor with 85 Nm starts confidently with two kids on the back, and the 20-inch wheels keep the load low. Tern quotes 42 to 85 km with the 500 Wh battery; with children on board, around 40 km is realistic. The 9-speed derailleur and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes are simple and cheap to maintain.
Before you buy
There is no suspension, so rough roads are felt more than on a GSD. The bike weighs 29.3 kg, which leaves about 160 kg for rider, children and luggage. Child seats, rails, footrests and bags are sold separately and add up quickly.
