Tern Quick Haul Long cargo e-bike: affordable family transport with Bosch motor, 190kg capacity, and compact design. Expert buying guide.

Uncomplicated and incredibly versatile, Quick Haul Long is a compact cargo bike for families on the go. It’s similar in length to a regular bike for easy maneuvering past traffic queues, but built extra tough to safely carry 2 kids or your biggest Costco hauls. And best of all, it’s a funner, freer way to get around for you and your family without putting strain on the environment.

The Quick Haul Long represents Tern’s most compelling entry into accessible cargo cycling. This midtail e-cargo bike delivers the engineering excellence Tern is known for whilst hitting a more attainable price point than their HSD and GSD bikes.

What it excels at

This bike thrives in urban family life. It’s designed to carry up to two children or one adult passenger, with a maximum gross vehicle weight of 190kg (419lb). The sub 30kg weight makes it surprisingly nimble for a cargo bike, whilst 20-inch wheels keep the overall length identical to a standard bicycle – crucial for urban manoeuvring and storage.

Performance that matters

The Bosch Cargo Line motor delivers 85Nm of torque with 400% assistance – the most powerful motor Bosch offers, specifically calibrated for cargo bike use. This translates to confident hill climbing even when fully loaded. The 500Wh battery provides 26-53 miles of range, with real-world testing showing around 28 miles in hilly terrain with children aboard.

The custom Tektro 1×9 drivetrain with 11-42T cassette offers precise shifting, whilst Tektro hydraulic brakes delivered an impressive 17’6” stopping distance in testing – two feet better than the cargo bike average.

Ownership experience

Tern backs the bike with a 10-year warranty and guarantees parts availability for seven years minimum. The Bosch system ensures access to their extensive dealer network for service and support.

Storage is brilliantly solved – the bike parks vertically, taking up space about the size of a potted plant. The Speedlifter stem adjusts without tools to fit riders from 5’1” to 6’1”, making family sharing effortless.

Who chooses this bike

The Quick Haul Long attracts urban families seeking car-replacement capability without premium pricing. At £3,500, it’s £1,600 less than the GSD whilst offering the same motor and similar capability. Tern’s extensive accessory ecosystem means the bike grows with changing family needs.

This isn’t just transportation – it’s automotive independence delivered through thoughtful engineering and proven reliability.
