Urban mobility specialist, Tern, has unveiled the Quick Haul, an e-bike that represents the next step in the evolution of the urban e-bike. It packs passenger and cargo carry capability and an incredibly smooth ride, into a compact and easy-to-store package.
“The Quick Haul is how an e-bike optimized for city life should be designed,” said Josh Hon, Tern Team Captain. “It should have a low step-through frame for convenience; it should have plenty of room to carry stuff or even an extra passenger, and it should be built tough, so you can count on it for reliable long-term usage. And it should be compact so it can easily navigate stairwells, elevators, crowded bike parking areas, and busy streets.”
This Multi-Tool Is Ready to Replace Your Car
The Quick Haul is small and unassuming, but always ready to tackle your daily grind.
With a robust ecosystem of accessories, the bike can be customized to fit your needs. Different setups help riders carry a passenger (from child seat age to a small adult), a mid-sized dog, or just loads of cargo.
Besides being modular and customizable with different accessories, the bike is also easy to share with friends and family.
The Quick Haul is equipped with a seat post and stem that adjust in seconds and without tools to fit riders approximately 150 -195 cm (4’11” – 6’5”).
Goes Into Elevators and Can be Parked Indoors—Vertically!
Despite its hefty cargo capacity, the Quick Haul is shorter than a regular bike. This makes it easier to maneuver on busy urban streets or in transit hubs like buses, trains, or ferry terminals.
The Quick Haul also boasts Tern’s Vertical Parking feature, so you can roll the bike into a small elevator and park it in your apartment.
When vertically parked, the Quick Haul takes about as much space as a potted plant.
Tested For Strength & Safety—A Must-Have When Carrying Precious Cargo
“We put our bikes through some of the toughest tests in the industry; and often, we design even more severe tests when we think existing standards aren’t tough enough,” continued Hon. The Quick Haul’s certified system weight of 150 kg (330 lb) is backed up by third-party testing from EFBE Prüftechnik GmbH, one of Europe’s leading bicycle testing labs.
Battery safety is also critical and for motor and drivetrain Tern chooses the very best in the business: Bosch — a German industrial powerhouse with more than a century of quality and excellence.
The Bosch e-bike system is one of the few that have passed the extremely rigorous UL (Underwriters Laboratories) e-bike safety standard.
Ready for Heavy-Duty Hauling & Commercial Fleets with Tern Business
As a built-to-last compact e-bike, the Quick Haul is not only a great option for consumers looking to replace more car trips with bike trips — it is also a solid choice for commercial applications.
The bike’s sturdy build, carry capacity, and modularity make it a reliable workhorse for all types of businesses.
The Quick Haul can also be paired with a heavy-duty trailer such as Carla Cargo to carry up to 150 kg more. Carla Cargo trailers, now a common sight in New York City, are helping companies like Whole Foods and others to fulfill deliveries quickly and sustainably.
Businesses can build a bike setup that fits their needs, and equip the Quick Haul with panniers, baskets, crates, delivery bags, and more. Companies looking for fleet solutions will also find more customization options under Tern Business—a Tern-backed initiative that helps organizations gain a competitive advantage by integrating bicycles into their business operations.
