  • Bosch Smart System integration – Advanced security features, GPS tracking, and ABS braking
  • Expanded accessory ecosystem – More options for cargo, passenger, and weather protection

Third-Generation GSD Cargo Bike Offers A Better Ride

The new GSD is stable and in control. A reinforced frame features larger-diameter hydroformed tubing. The longer wheelbase and lower center of gravity provide better balance and handling.

Best-in-Class Cargo Capabilities

With a robust rear rack that supports up to 100 kg (220 lb), the GSD can comfortably carry two kids, an adult passenger, or heavy cargo. Plus, the Atlas Lockstand ensures rock-solid stability when parking and loading. Need even more space? The integrated TowBar allows for easy trailer attachment.

New Accessories for More Versatility

Tern continues to expand the GSD’s accessory lineup, making it even more adaptable:

  • Stow Decks – Fold-away side platforms for cargo and passenger footrests
  • Sun Shield – Blocks UV rays while keeping air flowing
  • Rain Shield – Full weather protection that packs away when not needed
  • Cargo Hold 52 Panniers – Extra-large, waterproof storage for all-weather hauling
