The Tern GSD R14 is listed at $14,495 (ride-away). eBikeFinder checks pricing against manufacturer and distributor information, and prices can change with sales and stock. This price was last checked on 9 Oct 2026.
Is the Tern GSD R14 road legal in Australia?
Yes. The Tern GSD R14 is a 250W pedal-assist e-bike that stops assisting at 25 km/h, which meets the road-legal e-bike standard in every Australian state. Compliance is asserted by the brand rather than independently verified, so confirm the current spec with the seller.
What is the range of the Tern GSD R14?
The Tern GSD R14 has a claimed range of 67 to 144 km from its 800Wh battery. Real-world range is usually lower than the claim, since it depends on assist level, rider weight, terrain and wind. With the optional larger battery setup the brand claims up to 288 km.
What motor does the Tern GSD R14 have?
The Tern GSD R14 uses a Bosch Cargo Line motor, in a mid-drive position, producing 85Nm of torque. Mid-drive motors climb hills better because they work through the bike's gears.
How much does the Tern GSD R14 weigh?
The Tern GSD R14 weighs about 38.77 kg. That matters if you need to lift it onto a car rack, carry it up stairs, or store it, since e-bikes are heavier than regular bikes because of the motor and battery.
Who sells and backs the Tern GSD R14 in Australia?
The Tern range is distributed in Australia by 99 Bikes and independent dealers. It comes with a 2 years frame, 2 years motor and battery warranty. Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
