Urban mobility specialist Tern announced that it has partnered with Airstream on two e-bikes in a special edition Airstream series. Developed in partnership with The Show Design Co., the Vektron S10 Airstream by Tern is an ultra-compact, folding e-bike and the HSD P5I Airstream by Tern is a compact cargo e-bike. Both bikes are available in Airstream’s signature Aluminum Silver Finish and feature Bosch Performance Drive Systems for efficient riding up to 20 mph. The bikes can be tailored to fit an assortment of needs using Tern’s extensive accessories ecosystem, the company said in a release.
These special edition e-bikes will be available via Tern dealers, Tern’s web shop, Airstream Supply Company and participating Airstream dealers. The Vektron S10 Airstream by Tern and the HSD P5I Airstream by Tern will retail for $3,699 and $5,099, respectively.
“We’ve known for some time that folding e-bike and compact e-cargo bikes make the perfect addition to the RV lifestyle, making supply runs and other excursions speedy and fun,” said Steve Boyd, Tern general manager North America. “When the opportunity arose to partner with such a legendary brand as Airstream, we knew we had to offer e-bikes that lived up to Airstream’s timeless designs and met our own category-leading standards for e-bikes that are reliable, and easily customizable to diverse lifestyles.”
“Airstreamers are inspired by experiences and as we identify brand partnerships, we look for likeminded companies that help us connect Airstream owners to new activities that make memories,” said Mollie Hansen, chief marketing officer at Airstream, leading brand and licensing partnerships. “Tern knows e-bikes inside and out, and these special edition e-bikes allow current and aspiring Airstream owners a solution to effortlessly explore camp, venture to nearby interest points and efficiently complete their all-important supply runs.”
The Show Design Co. Co-Founder and President Mike Milo added, “Working with two iconic and progressive brands like Tern and Airstream is a dream scenario for us, and the kind that allows our team to really thrive. Last October, I had the pleasure of spending time with many Airstreamers at the Airstream International Rally in Sedalia, Missouri, and after some early testing, I’m thoroughly convinced these e-bikes are a perfect fit for the RV and Airstream lifestyle.”
The Vektron S10 Airstream by Tern is a premium compact folding electric bike, which combines portability with the performance of a full-sized e-bike, folding in seconds. It stores in small spaces in a truck or Airstream or unfolded on a bike rack. Despite being a folding bike, the Vektron’s robust design facilitates carrying essentials like groceries or a small child on the back.
The HSD P51 Airstream by Tern is a versatile, high-performance compact electric cargo bike that offers the best of both worlds: the utility of a cargo bike with the convenience of a smaller, more agile bike. It is built to carry heavy loads, like groceries, a child or gear needed for extended adventures.
Airstream owners will be among the first to experience the Airstream by Tern e-bike line in-person, with free demos being offered at the Airstream Club International Rally. This year, the annual meetup is being held in York, Pennsylvania from Aug. 23-28.
