Tern is a one of the renowned companies for making futuristic cargo e-bikes. This time the brand has revealed an impressive quality design and premium engineering off-road cargo e-bikes – the Tern Orox for urban commuters that we all expected from Tern.
It will have all the Tern favorite features like the passenger seating, dual battery options with the incredibly great attention to details when it comes to overbuilding for robustness and safety. On this note Tern Team Captain Josh Hon said -:
“Six years ago, we introduced the GSD with the belief that a compact and easy-to-ride bike capable of carrying passengers and cargo would get people out of their cars and onto bikes. We were right, and we love seeing all the amazing things people are doing with the GSD in crowded cities. But we also realized that there are plenty of places people want to go that are unpaved. And they want to bring their gear. For those trips, we made the Orox.”
Orox will come in two frame sizes and styles. And the best part of Orox’s design is that it gives riders the choice of where they want to explore, from city bike lanes to unkempt nature trails. A wide range of tire sizes to fit different types of riding such as 26 x 5”, 27.5 x 4” or 29 x 3” wheels/tires. Apart from that the Orox is rated to carry an impressive 180 to 210 kg of load in both off-road and on-road riding respectively.
On performance sites the Orox uses Bosch’s performance Line CX motor with 85 Nm of torque and up to 340% assistance. Along that it is fitted with two of Bosch’s massive 800 Wh batteries that combined offers a maximum range of over 300 km (186 miles). Plus riders get to take advantage of all the other Bosch system perks, such as the e-Bike Flow app for bike locking, anti-theft alarm, and GPS-tracking.
Other impressive features are Gates Carbon Drive belt-drive system with a Rohloff 14-speed internal geared hub or a Shimano Deore XT 1×12 chain drive system, a set of powerful 4-piston Magura hydraulic disc brakes, and a heavy-duty Atlast Kickstand XL for easier cargo loading.
This impressive Orox e-bike will hit the road of Europe and North America in April of this year with the price tag starting form $6,499/ €6,799 / £5,900 in various markets.
