39 cm ultra-low standover — step on, ride away

At just 39 cm (15.4"), the NBD's standover height is the lowest of any Tern e-bike. Getting on and off is a gentle step, not a climb — ideal for shorter riders, older riders, anyone with limited mobility, or anyone who just wants an easier life.

Ultra-low centre of gravity — easy to handle loaded

The NBD's low frame geometry keeps weight close to the ground, making the bike feel stable and easy to manoeuvre even with a child seat mounted, through parks, narrow streets, or at low speed.

Shimano Nexus 8-speed internal hub

8 evenly spaced internal gears shift cleanly at any speed without a derailleur to knock out of adjustment. Low maintenance, dependable, and completely protected from dirt and weather.

Bosch Active Line Plus — 50 Nm, 270% assist

The Bosch Active Line Plus is Bosch's smooth, natural-feeling commuter motor — 50 Nm of torque and 270% pedal assist. Less powerful than the Cargo or Performance Line, but quieter and tuned to feel like you're simply a stronger rider. Upgrade to the 500 Wh PowerPack for extended range — both sizes are interchangeable on legacy Bosch PowerPack bikes.

Shimano hydraulic disc brakes

Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes for consistent, reliable stopping in all weather — even when riding with a child on the rear rack.

RideEasy suspension seatpost — standard

Tern's RideEasy suspension seatpost is included as standard — absorbs road vibration for a noticeably more comfortable ride over urban bumps and rough surfaces.

Gaia Rack — 27 kg, child seat compatible

The Gaia Rack is rated to 27 kg (60 lb) and works with many child seats — carry one young passenger safely and comfortably. Also supports vertical parking when folded.

Folds to 38×156×79 cm in ~5 seconds. Physis 3D handlepost and Andros adjustable stem fit riders from 4'10" to 6'3" without tools — adjust and share easily.
