Our most popular compact electric cargo bikes in the shop, the Tern GSD, is going head to head with our newest compact electric cargo bike, the Riese & Müller Carrie! We wanted to see how they stacked up; front loader versus rear loader, a newbie versus a classic, you name it!
In this video, we go over the basic features, front to back, the accessory ranges for both bikes, the ridefeel, and capacity!
Come in for a test ride and compare them for yourself, take 'em out back to back, and let us set it up in the way that works best for you and your family!
