Upgrading to a Tern Just Got Easier!
Urban mobility specialist Tern Bicycles has announced a partnership with Upway, the marketplace for refurbished e-bikes, in conjunction with the Tern North America network of authorized dealers. Riders can trade in their current e-bike at a Tern Dealer and receive a credit, including a limited- time bonus toward purchase of a new Tern e-bike.

“Tern bikes set the standard for safe and reliable e-bikes,” said Steve Boyd, Tern NA General Manager. “We applaud the trustworthy, reliable work Upway has established with their circular marketplace and welcome this opportunity to welcome new riders to the Tern family, by partnering with our dealers, accessing value in their current e-bike, and trading up to Tern.”
Tern E-Bike Standards

UL 2849 Certified
All Tern e-bikes are certified to the UL 2849 standard, considered the gold
standard for e-bike system safety and covering the entire e-bike electrical system, including the motor, display unit, cables and wirings, battery, and charger.

Tern E-Bike Standards
In addition, all Tern cargo bikes are certified to the rigorous DIN 79010 standard and meet specific test requirements for the braking system, higher load-bearing tests for the frame and fork, and additional safety tests for child passengers, in order to account for the heavily-loaded nature of cargo bikes.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Tern to bring a smarter, more sustainable way for riders to upgrade their e-bikes,” said Alessandro Pregel, Sourcing Lead at Upway. “This program gives customers the ability to unlock the value of their current e- bike—up to 50% of its original price—and apply it toward the purchase of a brand- new Tern model. It’s a seamless and accessible way to support circularity, reduce waste, and help more people ride high-quality e-bikes.”
The Tern and Upway partnership kicks off with a limited-time promotion at The New Wheel stores in San Francisco Bay Area, starting with the Super Bike Festival August 17 at their Marin location. Tern dealers interested in participating in the Upway partnership can apply at b2b.upway.app.
