Range and comfort: the Centauro’s edge
The Centauro’s 1200Wh battery holds roughly three times the energy of the Quick Haul’s ~400Wh pack, so it covers far more distance between charges. It also adds full suspension for a smoother ride on rough roads, where the Quick Haul is unsuspended. For similar money, the Centauro gives you much more range and comfort.
Where the Tern wins
The Tern Quick Haul uses a smooth Bosch mid-drive with a torque sensor, and its compact frame folds down and stands upright to store in a hallway or small flat. If space is tight and you love the Bosch system, it is a great compact hauler. For range, suspension comfort and value, the Centauro leads.
Verdict
Buy the Centauro for maximum range, full-suspension comfort and value. Buy the Tern Quick Haul if compact storage and a Bosch mid-drive matter most. For most Australian riders wanting range and comfort, the Centauro is the smarter buy.
