Urban transportation specialist 7781 Tern Bicycles has unveiled the GSD, a folding ebike that is only 180 cm long and packs down small enough to fit in a VW Touran and yet adjusts to fit riders from 150-195cm (4ft 9’ to 6ft 4’) tall.

A Bosch motor and one or two batteries power the GSD for up to 250km. It comes fully equipped with integrated lighting, rack, mudguards, double kickstand, two XL panniers and retractable passenger foot pegs.

According to Tern, the patented adjustable stem, special cockpit geometry and low step frame make the bike easy to handle and ride, even for very small riders. For taller riders the expanding cockpit and handlebars can be adjusted for height and reach, while its 180kg (400lbs) load capacity means it can carry two people with ease.
