Tern Quick Haul review: a (more) affordable load lugger that's really versatile
zhlédnutí 7KPřed rokem
The Tern Quick Haul is the more affordable little brother to Tern's cargo-swallowing GSD and HSD models. But how does it compare?

    When I hear or see no disclaimer of any kind in a video, not even in its the description, it is implicitly stated that the reviewer has purchased the product at retail price and has not been given any compensation of any kind. If it's not the case, it's fraudulent advertising and I have and will never have any trust in the reviewer, especially one that comes from traditional media. In the present case, my instinct says that the viewer is being lied to by omission. I don't trust this guy. I expect my comment to disappear if I'm right. And remember, even if a correction is made, it's too late. This guy knows better. I would like to be proven wrong.

The maps work really well with an Apple Watch. The only thing I wish they would change is Garmin integration. I do longer rides all the time as I have 2 batteries and set my ebike up for trailer touring with 4 panniers. I use the nyon my phone and my garmin watch to record the ride and they are all pretty much the same. The Mileage left is pretty accurate to me.
