Tern NBD S5i
Tern NBD S5i
Small in size but big on smiles, the NBD is an easy-to-ride, ultra-low step e-bike that's comfy and welcoming—just like your favorite bike should be. Whether you're a seasoned rider or just thinking about your first e-bike, or whether you're doing a quick grocery run or setting off on a new adventure with your kid, the NBD will bring a smile to your face. The NBD is our most accessible bike yet—you just hop on and go. Maneuvering along streets and paths or through playgrounds and parks is child’s play thanks to a low center of gravity. Riders have maximum control, and the ultra-low stepover height makes getting off and then back on again a breeze.
The NBD puts inclusive design at the forefront. Average-sized, able-bodied folks along with people of many different sizes and abilities can share the fun of riding thanks to the NBD’s accommodating geometry and unique frame design. Comes in two model types, the P8i and the S5i.
