Tern Cargo Node Folding Longtail Cargo Bike 24” Wheels + Xtracycle Bags

Tern Cargo Node (Gen 1) folding longtail cargo bike

Rare and exceptionally versatile Tern Cargo Node, bought new in 2020 and used regularly around London for shopping and transporting my children.

This is a full-sized longtail cargo bike that folds, making it much easier to store than most cargo bikes. It folds to roughly one-third of its normal volume and can fit into hallways, lifts and some larger car boots. It has a maximum total carrying capacity of 160kg, including the rider.

It does not have electric assistance, but its wide range of gears makes it practical for everyday riding and carrying loads.

I am selling it because my children have outgrown riding on the back and I no longer use it.

Condition

Good used condition for its age, with cosmetic marks and general wear from regular family use. One of the gear shifters has some damage to its plastic casing, but this does not affect its operation.

The bike is mechanically sound and working correctly. It has been in storage since the photographs were taken and is now dusty, so it would benefit from a clean and a light service. The price has been reduced to reflect this.
