What is the range of the Tern HSD P5i Gen 3?
The Tern HSD P5i Gen 3 has a claimed range of 56 to 107 km from its 545Wh battery. Real-world range is usually lower than the claim, since it depends on assist level, rider weight, terrain and wind.
What motor does the Tern HSD P5i Gen 3 have?
The Tern HSD P5i Gen 3 uses a Bosch Performance Line motor, in a mid-drive position, producing 75Nm of torque. Mid-drive motors climb hills better because they work through the bike's gears.
How much does the Tern HSD P5i Gen 3 weigh?
The Tern HSD P5i Gen 3 weighs about 28.1 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 HSD P5i Gen 3 in Australia?
