Favourite accessory for our HSD is the Ortlieb Sport Packer Plus 30 litre pannier pair, with QL2.1 hooks that fit the rack, perfectly. Agree on the Hauler rack being the “Goldilocks” right-size for daily use. We use the larger Transporteur rack for grocery runs that require an insulated box to be carried.
Delta Cycle Airzound Very Loud Bike Horn Air Hooter -goofy name for a rechargable air horn. It's extremely loud for those drivers on their phone or otherwise not noticing you. I have one on all my bikes
I recently bought an HSD and this video is great! I spent hours on the Tern website researching accessories and it's one of the main reasons I got the bike. They are so thoughtful! I bought the 37 panniers--love them! just the right size for my household grocery shopping, the joy bar and sidekick seat for me to ride on the back--much more affordable than buying 2 ebikes for my spouse & I, and security accessories like a seat post chain and a front wheel hex lock. So far so good! Looking forward to your next HSD videos.
I sent you an inquiry on your web site, but to follow up on future accessorizing of the HSD, options for folks whose families are dog(s), not kids would be an interest video!
Looking forward to your next one on combining kids and bags, because there seem to be plenty of trade offs. Especially with an eye toward what to do if your bike lives outdoors.
I got an HSD last week and couldn't be any happier. However, theTern collapsible panniers are bit too big for me, could you recommend any smaller panniers such as Ortliebs? Would they fit on oversized rack tubing on HSD?
Any suggestions for transporting a golf carry bag. At the moment I wear a double strap carry bag on my shoulders but pretty sure it isn’t the safest way.
The battery is 400 watts (HSD 8i), should I change it for 500 watts? For sure, I love all the accessories on this bike. I am looking to buy the dog roof mini; I hope my dog will like it.
Tern bikes aren't really designed for off roading. The stock tires are pretty wide, and what I ride on our local bike paths that have hard packed gravel. I haven't found a need for another knobbier, and if you do need something knobbier this may not be ideal for you. The andros stem and the handlepost aren't designed for rough off road riding. I hope that helps!
This is great! Did you end up making a video on different cargo options with kid seats? We are going to start using a Yepp Maxi seat and I'm exploring the Cargo Hold 37 Panniers, Kontti Baskets, Bucketload Panniers, or front cargo options. Thank you!
I know this is probably against policy for you to talk about, but would the captain's chair be compatible on any other cargo bike? The chair would be perfect for my child but the Tern isn't suitable for me for several reasons.
@@BikeShopGirl It'll be taking a child to school. I'm going to get a Hauler for carrying things at the front as they sit on the back. The biggest thing I'm unsure on is panniers, as will there be room for them and their legs?
