- I've been using the Tern GSD e-cargo bike for a while now and it's been great. It has so many features that make it perfect for camping, touring, or commuting. In this video I show you how I used the Tern GSD e-cargo bike for a weekend of camping.

Wow! Can't believe you could carry SO much stuff on that bike and I love the idea of going tandem to get down to the pub later. Genius!
I absolutely love your videos. It must have been so much fun to make this camping trip. Thanks for sharing your beautiful moments with us on TH-cam.

You two are so cute. Thanks for sharing GSD adventure.
I’m an over packer so those bags are the perfect size 🙂. I like bike touring/packing that allows for stopping and gazing and relaxing 😎. Your trip was a good example of a “chill” ride, apart from the racing back home for the football game 😜. Great video!
The bags are huge, I have the front rack for the bike, and could have put cargo boxes on the back 😃 We could have brought chairs if we had any, which would have been nice. Touring on the Brompton will require a VERY different packing strategy!
Bicycles, ebikes and escooters are great options for last mile, short distance travel.
Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing safe, protected bike lanes and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school or ride for fun. Cargo ebikes are great for local deliveries.
I'm in the market for a first e-bike depending on what's available in a future proof repairable and upgradeable workhorse that will accommodate someone 6'7.
Apart from that, the biggest deterrent that is discouraging more people using bikes and e-bikes is not lack of infrastructure, it is fear of theft.
You can park a £70,000 Tesla outside of a supermarket in a dodgy area all day every day and expect it to still be there when you return.
Not many people will park up a £2,000 bike or e-bike in the same car park even with really good locks without having a knot in their guts every minute they're away from it. Or even a £1,000 bike.
Until that's sorted out, only a minority will use these wonderful and liberating machines to their full potential instead of using car's or other public transport.
I wish it were not so.
@@tconnolly9820 GPS trackers are small and can be hidden on an Ebike and tracked with a phone app. You just need to be able to ID the bike and track it to a location for Police.
With many ebikes costing over $1000 it is an expensive theft. Hide it in the seat or inside the tire or inside the bell ringer. Also businesses need to provide more safe protected parking spaces for bicycles with security cameras.
@@KJSvitko Basically every bike needs to be made financially unviable to be stolen by having every bike (and individual hi value parts and batteries etc) mandatorily registered and engraved with a unique and unremoveable registration at the point of purchase.
If it can't be sold, it's not worth stealing for a professional thief.
Of course that won't stop the vandals but at least registration means it will be returned to the owner whenever it's recovered.
I could go in with details but I find most people don't care anyway.
@@tconnolly9820 Take the battery with you when you park an ebike.
That looks really fun. Great roads for the UK. I kind of forgot we do have good places to cycle here. And the GSD and road bike combination works great as well. E-bikes are endlessly useful and versatile. Maybe you’ll convince some more people of that with this video.
And it’s funny how we do act like we live in a big country. It’s good to get a reality check from a Canadian that we’re never that far from civilisation no matter where you go. Especially in England where we’re really densely populated.
Hopefully people will at least have an idea of what's possible with bikes. When ever I'm out test riding cargo bikes I get a lot of questions, hopefully in a few years they will be considered normal. Our neighbours have 2 cars, one works and one stays home with their little boy, they could easily replace their second car with an e-bike.
The distances between things here is so different. Moving to Bristol from London has taught me I'd be fine living in a small town or village in the UK becasue nothing (not even toilet paper!) is really that far away, even on a bike. What amazes me here though is how quickly the landscape changes.
@@OneLessCar Yeah having 2 cars in a small country especially is an absurd concept. We used to do that but the driveway has been empty for a year now. Still not sure if neighbours or passers by have figured it out by now. They might think that every time they look, the car is out somewhere :) But it would be great if it made them consider their 2-car situations. Both neighbours on either side are retired couples with 2 cars. Makes zero sense.
I just got a Tern Quick Haul D8, which looks nearly identical to your GSD. It only has one battery and there's more space between the two top tubes for a small frame bag. I purchased the same panniers you have. Otherwise, I'm curious what the differences are. Great video! I hope to go on another tour before long and have been curious about the practicality of doing it on an e-bike like this.
Great to see you back again! Excellent and interesting video showing one of the "other" ways to tour. Think it is great.
Thanks for a great video. Fixed gear bikes are awesome. Having said that I am watching this video because I am considering an ebike. That’s after having knee surgery 4 months ago. I am rehabbing on a Fixie on a trainer. But longer term ebike looks great. Thank again.
Great mini tour, interesting set up, thanks for sharing!
Love the GSD, it's like a minivan on two wheels :)
This covered a lot of questions I had we're doing the same for the first time this year. Thanks for the vid
That looks like a beautiful place to ride round and camp.💙👍🏾
The UK has so much beautiful countryside. Cotswolds are particularly stunning in the spring. 👌
Great team work. Love this video. Can I hire you to carry my gear?😁
That would be a great job! 😀 The people we stopped and spoke with thought I had a bad deal until we explained it was an electric bike 🤣
Hooray from a Vegan. Can you add a trailer to the back axle of the gsd?
I can't see why not, best to check with Tern though.
Fantastic. So many options to enjoy two wheels. I am a Dolan fixed rider haha :-)
Can wait to have a cargo eBike!!
Great video. The Tern is a great bike, but after much deliberation I settled on the electric Brompton for overall flexibility. Don't want to lug anything heavier up two flights stairs! Did love the video and like the bike though. (A degree of envy...) 😀
Don't be too jealous I only have it on loan. 😁 Brompton is more versatile for me too but a friend who has 2 kids finds the GSD the perfect family bike.
@@OneLessCar Glad you fun with it!
Nice
Great video, thanks. Like the NS necklace.
Wow you have some good eyes to spot my necklace! 👏
@@OneLessCar It's our home province so easy to notice
Good job. You are so funny, loved it. Keep it up. Subbed.
Thank you 😊
She is a great narrator. And cudos to whom ever did the editing.
Thank you for the lovely comment. I do everything, it's a one woman show. Occasionally my husband will help when I need some riding shots.
I wondered how the campsite charging worked? Did site operator mole-plough a cable tent-side? it's one aspect of camping with our Tern GSD that I'd like to get into.
Have subscribed and watched some of your other videos.
curious about the charging and wish they'd provided more info on this key detail.
👍👍👍👍🙏🏻great video
Thank you 🙏😀
I love the range on the tern, also how easily you both went up Hinton hill without running out of gears!
Those 2 batteries are great for reducing range anxiety! I tried out the Bosch range estimater app and it was pretty accurate. I think I could have done all 125km on the one charge.
Great video! It was interesting seeing what you packed for the trip. Do you have any advice on how/where to safely pack your fuel for your stove? I am hopefully going to be doing my first bikepacking trip this summer and will be be bringing some fuel. A small can like you had. And I will be using panniers on my gravel bike.
Sounds like a great set up 👍 the canisters like in this video are great so easy to use and travel with. You can just pop them in your bag (try not to lose the valve cover). You can also put it inside your pot if it's big enough but I personally prefer to keep my stove in the pot to keep it safe. The type of gas canister that is for petrol that can be refilled is usually kept outside of bags. A lot of the time in a 3 water bottle holder on the underside of the bike frame.
@@OneLessCar Thanks for all the information! Yes I had the same idea, to put the stove in the pot to keep it safe. That's good to know that these types of canisters are fairly safe to travel with. Transporting fuel is what I've been most concerned about.
Just found the Pure Electric youtube channel, explains your interest in electric bikes. Lots more videos to watch ...
Great video Michelle! Looks like you had some good fun!
Had a brilliant time! Just wish we'd remembered chairs we had room enough 😁
👍🚴🙃Brawo 😉(Poland).
Have I missed a video somewhere? The Tern is new to me and I speculate that tour mode substitutes more muscle power for electric power to extend the range of the electric bike?
A few questions
1. Is the range in miles or km ?
2. Which panniers are those ? The 52 or 37 ?
3. How is the audio outside so good ? 🤔☺️
I am pretty sure she said 125 kilometres in a previous comment I read before this.
I’m in your video!!!
Get out! Were you in the group we passed going in opposite directions?
Just realized which Mike you are. I might just call you by your handle in real life 😂
If toilet paper is hard to come by there's always the improvised cup/bottle of water bidet.
Saved for later..
Pro-tip: remove the door jamb and casing to extract your kit.
😂
How do you travel with an e-bike? The battery(s) in particular seem hard to transport AFAIK since you can't fly with them.
The only ebike battery I know of that you can fly with are the ones used b and ARCC Conversions in Cambridge UK.
Should leave solar panels out charging powerbanks on saddle bags while you ride
how did you charge the batteries at the campsite?
I talk about it in the video 😊
Congratulations!🎉 on going vegan 🍉
I'm not sure why I thought you were Irish when I first watched this video. I had no idea you weren't from Britain maybe my accent-o-meter is off
Eeeyup..better to pack it outside..😅
Seriously, could he not find a local pub with a big screen to watch the bloody football on? 🤦
Why’s she keep saying Canada. Isn’t she British?
I'm Canadian. 😀 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Ebikes are a waste of money …
"I just heard my banking app go ching ching so I guess Nathan was successful in finding toilet paper" - oh what a world we live in !
