Tern GSD P10 Gen 3 Electric Cargo Bike
The Tern GSD P10 Gen 3 is the kind of cargo bike that genuinely makes you wonder why you've held onto the car for this long. Compact enough to fit through a standard doorway or into a lift, but rated to carry up to 210 kg gross vehicle weight, the Tern GSD cargo bike punches well above its size in almost every area.
What makes it a P10?
The P10 runs a Bosch e-bike system with a Purion display, keeping speed, battery level and assist mode visible at a glance without fiddling with anything complicated. The Tern GSD P10 Gen 3 is dual-battery compatible, meaning you can extend the range to up to 207 km (129 miles) when you need it.
For daily school runs and shopping that's more than enough, but it's good to know the capacity is there if you want to push further. Gearing is handled by a Shimano Deore 1x10-speed hub, which shifts smoothly and requires very little maintenance compared to a derailleur setup.
GSD highlights
The Bosch Cargo Line motor puts out up to 85 Nm of torque with 400% support. That means even a fully loaded bike on a steep hill feels manageable rather than punishing. With a rear rack load capacity of 100 kg, the Tern GSD P10 can carry two child seats, a full week's shopping, or both at the same time without breaking a sweat.
Stopping power comes from Magura 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes. With a heavily loaded bike, you want brakes you can rely on completely, and these deliver.
The dual-leg kickstand locks in place and has integrated foot extensions for stability when loading and unloading. If you've ever had a loaded cargo bike tip over on you, you'll appreciate how much thought has gone into this. The cockpit adjusts without tools to suit riders between 150 and 200 cm tall, which makes the Tern GSD genuinely shareable across a household without needing to get a spanner out every time someone else wants to ride.
The whole system is UL 2849-certified and independently tested to the German cargo bike standard DIN 79010, so safety and reliability aren't an afterthought.
For anyone looking to buy a Tern GSD in the UK, the Gen 3 is the most refined version of this platform yet, and the School Bus Yellow colourway means you'll be visible on the road whether you want to be or not.
