Tern HSD P9 Review - $3.5k

[@johngrant7696]

Best bike I have ever owned. I purchased the belt drive which is awesome. Need to point out the bike is so high quality that even with motor off the bike is a pleasure to ride as a “normal” bike. The ride options and quality is unparalleled- period. I’m into quality and innovation and Tern nailed it with the HSD. I’m 6”2 and 220 and this bike rides like butter. I highly recommend the belt drive - no dirt, clatter or oil smear. Just awesome. Thank you Tern for breaking the norm and the mold with this awesome transport vehicle. I sold my 911 and just have the bike to commute to work. It’s way cooler than the Porsche but in every way just as high quality. I obviously can’t stop yapping on about this bike. Buy one if you can find one.

I really want the belt drive but the battery is only 400 wh....how is the range ?

Excellent review and very thorough as always, EBR. A class-leading bike, premium priced.

Thanks Court, I'll be testing one of these out on Monday or Tuesday. A woman in my neighbourhood has an HSG and loves, uses it to commute to UVIC.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it, I like this particular model because of the price and standard derailleur setup :)

Thanks for this review, heavy carry bicycle: nice for taking lots of luggage, with pretty low sitting/peddling: for sure need to beware of taking corners (peddles hitting the ground). FYI: Ring/frame-lock: the key stays in if it is open is an insurance thing: with the key in your hand, it counts as proof it was locked (at least, it's enough over here).

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Interesting, I appreciate that insight! Makes sense…

[@MarkyMomma]

Great, thorough review. I’m 4’11” on a good day and enjoyed my test drive of this bike today.

I got the HSD S8i and it really is brilliant. So stable and comfortable. I like to throw it about but so far never had a pedal strike.

[@karinroten3606]

is it comfortable off road?

[@macpdm]

@@karinroten3606 well it depends what you mean by off road. It’s not a bike to use on mountain bike trails as it’s too big and heavy. But on dirt roads it will be comfortable. I have no doubt with its balloon tyres and front suspension.

[@clancyseven]

Thank you. I have this bike and now I know lots more about it.

[@Sean-hennessey]

great video and really helpful as I decide what my next bike will be. thanks.

[@ronalcasid3844]

Some US dealers are advertising a P9 Performance model that has the same motor and battery as the S+ at $3800. Otherwise is has the same specifications as the standard P9 for an additional $300. Do you think that’s a worthy upgrade? Interesting Tern does not show the P9 Performance on their website.

[@tedwhite6588]

thanks! fantastic review!

[@jmteno]

Great and informative review!

[@KhalilHabashi]

Could you specify which saddle is it again, I've been trying to search for that saddle and couldn't find it anywhere on the internet, I cannot purchase anything like it!

[@do-ineedtosay723]

Wow, did you really have the motor on?! I haven't heard a quiet motor since Brose!

[@woundedtiger7547]

Where were you when you made that video? Vail got it.

[@spengabenga6616]

can you test haibike sduro trekking 4.0

[@ElectricBikeReview]

I would love that! Haven’t tested a Haibike for some time now and the Trekking models were some of my favorites from before. I will definitely keep an eye out :D

It's PAN-yeer, not PAN-yeah

[@honkytonk4465]

Yeah!

[@skepticsr_us]

Court, I normally love your reviews but I just wasted a half hour of my precious life because you forgot to mention right off the bat in the description that this is just a Class 1 e-bike! There is no throttle! Many of us don't live in Europe and are no longer young enough to rely on Class 1 bike limitations:-(

[@leojonkers3181]

Can you talk a more relax?

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Thanks Leo! I was in a hurry trying to squeeze this review in before the event ended. It felt a bit choppy to me to. Will keep working on it ;)
