Tern HSD P5i vs Tern HSD P5i Gen 3

These are the same bike: the HSD P5i is the Gen 3 model, so the choice is really about which listing matches the bike you want. Both run the Bosch Performance Line motor with the Smart System, a 545 Wh battery, a Gates belt drive and a 5-speed Shimano Nexus hub, and both fold for storage. The Gen 3 listing is the fuller description of the current bike, with a Suntour suspension fork and a 419 lb capacity; the other listing states a 397 lb limit and no fork. Buy the Gen 3 if you want the suspension fork and the higher load rating; otherwise either listing gets you the same platform.

• Choose the Tern HSD P5i if you want the compact cargo e-bike with belt drive, internal hub and Bosch Smart System, and you do not need a suspension fork.
• Choose the Tern HSD P5i Gen 3 if you want the current model with a Suntour suspension fork and the higher 419 lb load rating.
