Orox Tech Features: See What Enables This Bosch Electric Bike to Carry Heavy Loads & Go Off-Road

[@Bikepacking]

This could be perfect for world family bike tour

[@diligentsun1154]

Solid looking rig!

[@andreas.richter]

Having my GSD to haul the kids in the city is nice, and I love having my gravel bike in the woods and for speedy driving. Currently I can not imagine driving dynamic loaded with 100kg, but maybe it's my imagination. With the GSD is miss kicking my back wheel in the curves, probably that's better with the Orox as you don't sit a bit further back and the wheels are bigger.

[@CAL1FORNIASUPERSTAR]

looks expensive but I'm interested as a disabled veteran I need the range

[@tubecated_development]

Can probably get that range on a RadWagon 5 cargo + range extender for 3 times less than this… …but we only live once as far as I know… EDIT. May also be worth looking at the Fiido T2, better reviews than RadWagon, and if you can scale back the need for a long tail and go with the Fiido T1 pro then the advertised range is “Up to 150 Kilometers with Large 960Wh Battery”. Could always hitch up to a cargo trailer and cargo more shizz plus another battery!

Just WOW!

[@Colonial-lg4gn]

Beautiful

[@evangaltier1761]

32 spoke 29" wheels, particularly the rear, seems a bit light-on for such a bike?

[@The_s_d]

I own the 2nd Gen GSD for 3 years now. Of course i own a Trail and a XC Bike as well. For sure the Orox is more on the Bike Packing side than the GSD. Comparing the two bikes the GSD has a better fork, a stronger kickstand, better (wider) lower decks and an easier stand in lower frame. the most annoying thing on the GSD is the repairibility when you have a flat on the back wheel, it seems like the new Orox has similar difficulties, mhh. The fat 27.5 looks great but again, what about servicing when you are on a trip, you cant get fat tires in bike shops here in Europe. Overall the Orox is a good choice for some people. i would always go for the belt drive version. For service friendly when you are in the fields i would go for electronic shifting.

[@damFr]

Can it stand up straight like the GSD?

[@joshuahon9725]

Yes.

[@hyperepe]

Why do they mount displays asymmetrically?

[@mattybravo9104]

Knowing Tern Australia, it Will take them another 6 months or more before this bike Ever comes to Australia.

[@Sicilian49]

Is this better than Himiway Cobra? I am ignorant in this market.

[@darwinradke3198]

Oh yes indeed! It's components (Bosch, etc) are high end. I would trade my Himiway Zebra in a hot second for this beast....that is, if it wasn't for the price difference. The Tern is expensive - but you get what you pay for.

[@TLFILMS]

Yeah

[@dolofangeorge]

At min 2:05 Bosch Kiox shows 82% batery and a range of 21km. How you can tell us that the range is 200Miles ????

[@SonnyDarvishzadeh]

I have an e-gravel bike. Range of an e-bike can be dramatically different for how steep the gradient is, how heavy the total load is, the tire size and pressure, motor assist mode, headwind or tailwind, rider position and clothing, etc. My e-bike can do 10 miles only if it had to climb 2500 ft and it can also do 200 miles if the surface was totall flat. Bosch has an online range calculator that you can play with by entering different criteria of the ride and get ballpark figures.

[@IvoTichelaar]

I love my GSD, but this looks like a bit much, actually. Then again, that's what I first thought about the GSD. 😂

[@ternbicycles]

It is very "much" 😎

[@Sicilian49]

No front suspension? 😓😓

[@ternbicycles]

Hi! The Orox isn't designed to be equipped with a suspension fork. The 4" tires provide the best cushioning for all the intended uses. Using a 3rd party suspension fork on the Orox raises a few issues for the bike, mainly in weight tolerance issues & steering geometry.

[@mirekrendl5210]

What is the total lenght?

[@ternbicycles]

M - 2140mm L - 2185mm

[@shinyknuckles351]

That’s approximately 7.17 feet long. This bike is about an inch or so shorter than Victor Wembanyama.

[@SquareWheelMedia]

It looks good, but I was adding electric motors and luggage racks, to cheap Amazon fat bikes, at least 7-8 years ago.

[@PerSkeles]

9000 dollars, you could buy a motorcycle for the same price.

[@TeeGar]

Changing a rear flat must be a bitch. This thing looks.like it weighs 500lbs

[@ternbicycles]

The Orox S12 (the lighter of the two) weighs 33.2 kg (73.2 lb)

[@RobertJames-si9tm]

It features Bosch Walk Assist. So that even though it may be loaded with gear, taken on an unpaved trail, you can still walk alongside it while it powers itself forward at your pace. I have that feature on my Tern street bike, an NBD S5i, works well. As for tire repair, the rear wheel would be difficult to fix while carrying a camping load. Experienced bikers know how to extract just enough of the inner tube to do a temporary patch, not impossible on a wide 4" tire.Trail motorcycles loaded like these bikes are would have the same issue.

[@user-nj3rz9lk1r]

Ganz schlimm. Unendlich schwere Kiste - dann kann ich auch Motorrad fahren. Hat NICHTS mehr von der eigentlichen unbeschwerten Leichtigkeit des Radfahrens. O Gott Gott, der Strom ist auch bald alle. Und dieser bescheidene Imagefilme - schade um die vernünftigen Produkte die Tern sonst gross gemacht hat. Allerübelste SUViesierung des Zweirades.
