Who is the Tern Quick Haul D8 best for?

The D8 is the right choice if you want the Quick Haul’s compact, versatile platform at the lowest price point.

It suits riders on flatter routes who want a dependable everyday bike for commuting, shopping, carrying a child on occasion, or running errands. The Bosch Active Line Plus motor gives enough support for city riding and moderate loads — though on steeper London hills with a child aboard, the P9’s extra torque becomes more noticeable.

Choose the D8 if you want the Quick Haul’s format, its accessory ecosystem and 50 kg rear rack capacity at the most accessible price.

Motor and riding feel

The D8 uses a Bosch Active Line Plus motor with 50 Nm of torque and 270% pedal support. It is quieter and smoother than some older motor generations, and gives a natural-feeling assist that suits relaxed city riding well.

If your typical journey is relatively flat and your loads are moderate, the Active Line Plus handles it comfortably. On steeper hills or with heavier loads, the P9’s Performance Line motor will feel noticeably stronger.
