Tern electric bikes are designed with a focus on safety, efficiency, and providing a natural cycling experience. As such, they are not equipped with a throttle. Instead, Tern ebikes are equipped with a pedal-assist system, which senses your pedaling and provides a boost of power accordingly. This design ensures a smooth, intuitive ride that still feels like traditional cycling but with less effort. The pedal-assist system allows for more control and a more active riding experience, aligning with Tern's commitment to both comfort and environmental responsibility.
