The short answer
The US Tern Quick Haul D8 is $2,999. The motor is a Bosch Active Line Plus, up to 50 newton-meters. The rear rack is 50 kilograms, 110.3 pounds. The US page does not print watt-hours. The European P5i, with 400 or 500 watt-hours, is a different bike. Gross weight is 150 kilograms, which is 330.75 pounds.
The US Tern store lists the Quick Haul D8 at $2,999. The drive is a Bosch Active Line Plus, up to 50 newton-meters and 270 percent support. That is the small Bosch city motor. The Active Line Plus page is the one to read before treating 50 newton-meters as a cargo-motor number. The rear rack is rated 50 kilograms. Fifty times 2.205 is 110.3 pounds. An optional front rack is 20 kilograms, which is 44.1 pounds. The cargo guide is the rack. The HSD and the GSD are the larger Terns. Riders are listed at 160 to 195 centimeters, or 145 to 180 centimeters with a 350 mm seatpost. Standover is 490 mm. Brakes are Shimano hydraulic discs.
The US D8 and the European P5i are not one bike. Watt-hours belong only where a page printed them.
| Bike | What the page prints | What it is not |
|---|---|---|
| US Quick Haul D8 | $2,999, Active Line Plus, 50 Nm, 270% | No watt-hours on the US page |
| EU Quick Haul P5i | Performance Line, 65 Nm, 25 km/h, 400 or 500 Wh | €3,299 or €3,499, 23.5 kg. A different bike |
| Gross weight | EFBE tested to 150 kg | US text says 331 lb. A German page says 330.7 |
331 pounds is 330.75
A US page that says 331 pounds and a German page that says 330.7 are the same 150 kilograms, rounded. They are not two tests.
The frame and fork are EFBE-tested to a 150-kilogram maximum gross vehicle weight. One hundred fifty times 2.205 is 330.75 pounds. The US page writes 331. A German page writes 330.7. The gap is rounding. The Bosch system is cited as UL 2849, and the bike cites EN 15194. EN 15194 is the European 250-watt, 25 km/h rule. The US price page does not print a US class next to a watt. The class chart is why a European standard is not a US class by itself. Tern Care is a 10-year warranty on the frame and the fork. The US D8 page this desk opened did not print watt-hours. Pasting the P5i’s 400 or 500 onto it would invent a pack. The watt-hour page is why. No public loop with a measured mile and a named pack for this D8 turned up in this pass. This desk did not ride it.

Bosch Active Line Plus: 60 Nm, and the 600 Watts Did Not Move
Bosch’s new Active Line Plus is the BDU344Y. The EU product page prints 60 Nm, 600 watts, 340 percent support, 250 watts continuous, and 2.7 kg. The motor it replaces, the BDU334Y, already printed 600 watts, 340 percent, 250 watts, and 50 Nm at 3.2 kg. The new 70 rpm cell is 366.5 watts. That is 50 Nm at 70 rpm, not 60.
