2. Weight and Loading
The Tern GSD is designed to carry. In addition to meeting ISO 4210 standards for city/trekking bikes, the GSD has undergone additional cargo
bike testing to ensure that it is capable of carrying a rider plus large amounts of cargo and/or a passenger.
However, restrictions do apply and there are considerations for loading the GSD in a way that maximizes comfort and stability for the rider.
To safely operate the GSD, you must observe the following:
GSD Limits:
1. Maximum rider weight should not exceed 120 kg (265 lb)
2. Maximum gross weight of the bike should not exceed 200 kg (441 lb). The maximum gross weight is defined as the total weight of the bike,
batteries, passenger(s), accessories and cargo.
3. Maximum weight on each tire (Schwalbe Supermoto-X 62-406) should not exceed 115 kg (254 lb) when inflated to the maximum allowable
pressure of 65 psi (4.5bar). Overloading and/or under-inflating a tire causes premature wear. Approximately 60% of the total weight will be on
the rear wheel.
GSD Accessories Limits:
1. Maximum weight on the kickstand, when lowered, is 45 kg (99 lb) of cargo.
2. Maximum weight on the Transporteur Rack, if installed, is 20 kg (44 lb).
3. Maximum weight on the Sidekick Lower Deck, if installed, is 25 kg (55 lb) on each side. Keep the weight balanced between left and right sides
for optimal stability.
4. Maximum weight on the Shortbed Tray, if installed, is 35 kg (77 lb).
