With the GSD, Tern has realized a vision: a compact e-bike that can transport loads and up to three people. This concept was designed for the city and was a success. Now comes the next step: with the Orox, the successor is rolling off-road. An e-cargo mountain bike that can take up to three people and a fair amount of luggage and defies precise categorization.

Cargo bike, e-bike, e-mountain bike, bikepacking e-bike... the new Orox from Tern can be assigned to several vehicle categories, or perhaps it even generates its own genre.

Tern calls the Orox itself an e-cargo bike that is ready for rides on any terrain and in any weather. With a longtail frame, it can transport two small and one large passenger, a dog or heavy luggage. The Bosch mid-motor and dual-battery technology with two batteries should enable ranges of up to 300 kilometers.

Joshua Hon, founder and CEO of Tern, says: "Six years ago, we presented the GSD with the vision that an easy-to-ride, compact bike that could carry both passengers and cargo would get people from the car to the saddle. But we also realized that not all places you want to visit are accessible via smooth asphalt or even roads. For such adventures, especially with a lot of luggage and equipment, there is now the Orox."
