Hey everyone,

I’m looking at getting a Tern Quick Haul P9 (500Wh) for a 20km daily round-trip commute carrying laptop, lunch, change of clothes, occasional groceries …

I really like the design and the overall versatility of the bike, even though I probably won't be pushing its cargo capacity to the limit on a daily basis.

For anyone who owns one or rides a similar Tern model: How do you like living with it? How has it held up over time for daily commuting, maintenance, and general reliability? Any pros, cons, or unexpected quirks I should know about before pulling the trigger?

One of my main concerns is the long-term wear and tear on the drivetrain. I'm wondering how fast it chews through chains and cassettes under daily commuting conditions—especially in wet or gritty weather.

Thanks!

I'm trying to move the headlamp on my HSD S00 from the handlebar to a mount on my front rack so I don't LIGHT UP the contents of my front rack (or block my front light if I'm carrying something tall) at night. It seems like a pretty straightforward thing to do, but I have yet to find a place online that sells a compatible Higo extension cable to private buyers (so far they've all directed me to a shop). I'm happy to bring my bike in for repair when it's needed, but this is literally a 10min job and it seems asinine to pay $100+ for to ask a shop do for me.

Does anyone know of a place that sells this cable (for the record, it's a Higo Micro Q 3-pin)?

For posterity, here's a pic the happy little connector
