Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Tern Quick Haul. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
15 reasons to buy
- Experts and owners agree that the Tern Quick Haul is an excellent car replacement.
- The Quick Haul has height-adjustable handlebars for quickly modifying fit.
- The low step-through frame makes mounting and dismounting the bike easier, especially while loaded.
- Reviewers enjoy the nimble ride.
- The bike's low center of gravity provides a stable ride when carrying cargo, according to testers.
- Experts commend the Bosch Performance Line Sport motor (P9 Sport) for its climbing performance.
- The Quick Haul's range impresses reviewers. One covers 46 miles and 1,969 feet of elevation gain in a test of the P9 Sport.
- Testers praise the Schwalbe Big Apple 2.15" tires for their stability, traction, and cushioning on uneven surfaces.
- The Shimano hydraulic brakes deliver strong braking performance in varied conditions.
- According to testers, the Quick Haul is easy to ride without pedal assist.
- Owners say the battery is easy to remove and small enough to fit in a backpack.
- The rear rack has a load capacity of 110lb and doubles as a stand for storing the bike vertically.
- Buyers appreciate the numerous mounting points and wide range of compatible accessories.
- The Tern Quick Haul includes integrated lights, fenders, a rear rack, and a bell.
- Tern provides a ten-year warranty for the frame and fork.
7 reasons not to buy
- The payload capacity of 280lb is low for an e-bike designed to carry cargo.
- Experts report that the D8's Bosch Active Line Plus motor struggles on steep hills and with heavier loads.
- The Quick Haul's rear-mounted single-sided kickstand proves unstable in tests.
- Reviewers of the P9 Sport say significant effort is required to hold 28mph, even while using max assist and particularly with cargo.
- Experts find the rigid fork and 20" wheels transmit more vibrations to the rider's hands, especially when loaded.
- An owner says the bell's "awkward" placement requires removing a hand from the bars to ring it.
- With an additional front rack installed, bumps can cause the headlight to wedge between it and the fender and cause rattling.
Bottom line
The Tern Quick Haul is a mid-drive utility e-bike available in two Bosch-equipped builds. The D8 has a 50Nm motor and 8-speed drivetrain; the more expensive P9 Sport has a 65Nm motor and 9-speed drivetrain. This bike is praised as a viable car replacement with stable geometry, solid range, and nimble handling. This model is more compact and affordable than the GSD and HSD but can only handle modest loads of up to 280lb. The D8 also struggles on steep hills, and the kickstand is unstable. Despite these issues, reviewers and owners consider the Quick Haul a solid, versatile choice for urban living.Expert Reviews
