Tern NBD S5i Performance 20 Electric Cargo Bike With Belt Drive & Hub Gears In Bronze

The NBD is Tern's most accessible bike yet—you just hop on and go. Manoeuvring along streets and paths or through playgrounds and parks is child’s play thanks to a low center of gravity. Riders have maximum control, and the ultra-low stepover height makes getting off and then back on again a breeze—even when taking a kiddo.

The NBD has an adjustable cockpit that only takes seconds to resize, all without tools. Riders 147 – 190 cm tall (4’10” – 6’3”) comfortably fit the NBD, so it comes ready for the whole family to share. The NBD puts inclusive design at the forefront. Average-sized, able-bodied folks along with people of many different sizes and abilities can share the fun of riding thanks to the NBD’s accommodating geometry and unique frame design.

With wide, ergonomic grips on swept handlebars, an upright riding position, and a multi-adjustable stem, the NBD is Tern's most comfortable bike. Add wide balloon tires and a suspension seatpost to the mix, and most road vibration becomes a thing of the past.

The NBD’s FlatFold feature makes it easy to fit the bike into trains, buses, RVs, and even small-sized cars. Just lower the seatpost, fold down the Physis Handlepost, and the NBD transforms into a low and flat package. No bike racks necessary.The NBD parks and rolls vertically, so it’s easy to store safely indoors. Roll it vertically into elevators or conveniently park it just about anywhere in your home or office.

Ergonomic Cockpit

Swept handlebars and Ergon grips make the NBD just about the most comfortable cockpit you'll find on a bike. The slack seat tube enables all riders—even the smaller in stature—to place their feet on the ground at stops.

RideEasy Suspension Seatpost

The custom short-stack suspension seatpost adjusts to fit riders of different heights, and allows even smaller sized riders to travel without feeling road vibrations.

Air-Cushion Balloon Tires

No special technology needed—air suspension is already built in. The air cushion from Schwalbe’s wide balloon tires give a smooth ride, helping to reduce bumps and other road vibrations when riding.

Feet-Friendly Pedals

The platform of the pedal is extra-large for boosted foot stability. Feet naturally and securely snug into its gentle concave shape. And the pedal has an improved grip for all types of shoes.

Smooth, Powerful Motor

The Bosch e-assist motor system is powerful, efficient, smooth, and supremely quiet. It’s also backed with best-in-class service and support, and a network of thousands of trained dealers in cities around the world.

Bold, Bright, and Easy to Read

The Bosch Intuvia display has all the information you need. It's easy to read on your daytime rides, and it’s brightly lit for when you ride at night. Plus, the entire display is removable and perfectly sized for pockets, so you can carry it with you after you park.

Hassle-Free Belt Drive

Bike chains are great, but often need cleaning and lubing. The NBD S5i comes equipped with a Gates belt drive for durability, low maintenance and a smoother and quieter ride, so you can spend less time cleaning, and more time riding.

Easy-Access Frame Lock

With an Abus frame lock at the top of the rear wheel, most riders can lock up without having to bend down low. And for added simplicity, you’ll need only one key, as the frame lock and battery lock are keyed alike.
