Tern Quick Haul

Introducing the Tern Quick Haul, a compact and versatile electric bike that handles all your urban transportation needs with ease. As a lover of eBikes and micromobility vehicles, we at Ride Review have scoured through countless reviews to bring you the most comprehensive overview of this outstanding electric bike. Let's start with what sets the Tern Quick Haul apart. One standout feature is its lightweight design. Weighing just 50 lbs, this eBike is easy to lift and carry, making it ideal for urban commuters and those who need to navigate tight spaces. Even when folded, the weight is evenly distributed, ensuring convenience and ease of transport. Equipped with a Bosch motor system, the Quick Haul offers a smooth and powerful ride. From navigating turns with precision to reaching top speeds effortlessly, this eBike handles it all. With an output of up to 400Wh, you'll have no trouble zipping around town. One area where the Quick Haul truly shines is its impressive carrying capacity. Despite its compact size and smaller wheels, this eBike has been EFBE-tested and can safely manage a load of up to 330 lbs. It even comes with a rear rack that can handle up to 100 lbs, perfect for carrying cargo or traveling with your family. And if you need even more utility, you can easily add a front rack to enhance the functionality of the bike. Safety and reliability are paramount when it comes to electric bikes, and the Quick Haul delivers. Hydraulic disc brakes provide excellent stopping power, ensuring control and peace of mind at high speeds. To enhance speed and efficiency, the Quick Haul features a rigid steel suspension fork that is not only effective on the road but also easy to maintain and cost-effective. The Tern Quick Haul has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate riders of various heights. With an adjustable stem that can be moved into position within seconds, this eBike fits riders with a height range between 5'3" and 6'5". For those on the shorter end, Tern offers the option to add a shorter seatpost, accommodating heights down to 4'9". When it comes to range, the Quick Haul doesn't disappoint. With a range of 33 to 66 miles, this urban electric bike offers decent mileage for its compact and lightweight build. Whether you're running errands or zipping around town, you can rely on the Quick Haul to get you where you need to go. While the Tern Quick Haul boasts a multitude of impressive features, it's essential to consider some potential drawbacks. The most significant drawback is the price, as the Quick Haul is expensive regardless of the model chosen. Tweaking default parts or adding extras like a front rack can further drive up the cost. Additionally, the front rack, while practical, adds width to the bike, potentially impacting maneuverability through narrow spaces. It's worth noting that the Quick Haul does not come with a frame lock, which may be a concern for riders looking for enhanced security. In summary, the Tern Quick Haul is a standout electric bike that excels in performance, versatility, and convenience. Whether you're using it for commuting, transporting groceries, or taking your kids to school, the Quick Haul gets the job done with ease. While it may come with a higher price tag, the quality and functionality of this eBike, coupled with the 10-year warranty, make it a worthy investment for those seeking a reliable and capable urban ride.
