Good video. Kinda cool bike, but way too expensive. Who do they think they are Apple?
The high tier version of this bike is more than the residual value of my car $8500 😱
It's too much, in my opinion. You pay an extra 3k for automatic shifting, ABS, and other stuff that are nice but just not worth that much money.
lol poor people.
Jayzus, $5k for a bike . I must be getting old.
Looks good, spec wise also good, price wise, ehhhh. Thank you for the help
Price is depressing
@@PasscodeAdvance yeah thats what the "eehhhh" is for.
@@arj3030 uh huh, I'm going for the Tern HSD P9 instead, it's as good plus price is 3,099$.
If they discount it it's gonna be a great deal
I wish they had a Cargo Line Speed motor option.
That's called a motorbike :)
Well done. Thank you.
Made a $500 down payment on a GSD can’t wait to own by May 1st. Thanks for confirming my suspicions that it’s a great bike!
It has been 12 months, how do you enjoyed your bike so far? 😊
That’s my aspirational bike. 🚲
Will you ever do a review on the surron light bee X?
So, I bought a Tern GSD and it is still within it's warranty period. There was a problem with the lights (lights switched off every time I pressed the brakes) and the bike had to be sent back to Tern for repair.
1 month later, the bike is still at Tern. I called the distributor for Tern in Belgium (Hartje) and the guy pretty much asked me why I was calling and what did he expect me to do about my bike being in service. He also said that I shouldn't expect my bike back before some time next year because they are busy and have a lot of bikes to repair. HE WOULD NOT EVEN TELL ME WHEN NEXT YEAR I COULD EXPECT MY BIKE BACK.
This is a bike that cost Euro 6500, still in warranty and which we used to use daily fro dropping our kids at school. It should not take 2+ months to repair - especially since apparently what is needed is to replace the internal wiring.
I didn't pay this money just to have it sitting in a repair facility in Germany.
Pretty much every time a bike is featured on here, it becomes my new... 'No, I want that one now.'.
Kinda miss ma other dude, he also teaches me guitar, he’s a legend.
I was looking at an electramechanica solo car but these bikes can carry more including passengers!
When people talk about what separates a cargo bike from a car, in terms of usage, I have yet to hear anyone talk about what it is for me: a locking trunk. When I’m out and about, especially on a weekend shopping day, I’m going to be in and out of four or five places. As it stands today, that means I have to unload and carry my shit into each subsequent shop I visit. That, specifically, is why a bike, cargo or no, is not competing with a car, for many people. Why is this hard to figure out?
So if someone finally decides to make a cargo bike that has a cargo compartment large enough for at least four grocery bags, with a real lock, that is not held on with Velcro straps, then they may be onto something.
It has everything alright ... including a price tag to faint over!
Still way cheaper than a car. Plus, fuel and maintenance costs are basically zero.
i dont know much about mid drive torque motors, but 250w sounds incredible small for both the prospective load and the price. also, why can there be no throttle? huge downside. am i missing something?
Midrives run throught the pedals and drivetrain - a throttle could get weird as your legs are spun up. Mids are considered "refined", and with a torque sensor I'll bet they are, but with the added driveline wear relative to a hub, I wonder if a cargo bike is the ideal application.
Yes you are the motor puts out over 1000Watts according to independent testing, the 250Watt rating is just for legal purposes.
Omg mikey, the quarantines gave you some real volumes!
You can buy THREE RadWagons for the price of one of these. And they have bigger batteries.
Where do you put them if you live in a small apt. in a big city?
Or one corolla))
@@wgjung1 This bike isn't that small - the rad uses 22" (?) wheels. I have a radrunner and a burley travoy - all compact, does the trick.
@@anxiousappliance Smaller than 3 giant bikes and a Corolla.
I was amazed by this bike until I seen the price. I could buy 2 radwagons for that price with an extra battery.
The radwagon is a hub motor while this is a mid drive, you're gonna get much more torque with this and it'll be easier to change the tube in the rear tire.
@@Ferrichrome yea but the downside to mid drives is that most have no throttle. The lectric xp premium has a mid drive, dual batteries and a throttle for less than 2000 dollars. Once that bike releases in June the competition is going to be ugly because if other Ebike companies want to compete they are going to have to drastically start dropping the prices of there bikes especially the ones with mid drives
@@versatyledc that sounds cool I will wait to see how that bike is when it comes out but sounds promising. I don't mind the lack of throttle too much, I'm used to pedaling hard on regular bike if I need the speed, but I definitely agree these bikes need to be cheaper especially the mid drives.
@@Ferrichrome in a way Lectric XP kind of exposed the Ebike business showing that you can have all of these features at a much cheaper price.
Its the best "Car replacement " i have seen...
My main problem is that I don't have a garage :(
Its way too costly with all the options
You could buy a car for that Or in Ford's case a car company
❤❤❤
I am extremely disappointed in Tern electric bike. I own a Tern vektron D7i. I rarely used it and still look brand new (4 yo). The battery (Bafang M400 drive) no longer works. I reached out to local dealers and was informed they can’t get a hold of that battery. I reached out to
How old are those children on the back of the bike? At what size or age can they ride in that clubhouse without an additional child seat, as they are doing here?
Way too expensive
8 k,,, ouch lol
Good program 🍒🇵🇰🍓
Masks. While biking. 👍
Why are these people wearing masks outside in the fresh air on a bicycle? Afraid of riding through a cloud of COVID?
dispersing a cloud of covid - the mask protects others.
