Charger5 Features

Versatility and Power

Designed for perfection

The Charger5 is built with first-class craftsmanship and thoughtful design to ensure a ride that's both smooth and confident. No matter the journey, its super-rigid diamond frame, combined with a responsive suspension fork and seatpost, delivers a ride that's stable and comfortable. They haven't cut corners on style either. The Charger5 features polished, visible weld seams and an aluminium battery cover that matches the frame colour for a clean, superior look.

Pack for the Uncharted

No adventure is too big for the Charger5. The MIK HD system allows you to quickly and securely attach gear, while additional rails let you mount panniers for even more storage. Need to carry smaller essentials? An optional front carrier with a bag is available. With a powerful Bosch motor (up to 100 Nm of torque) or the low-maintenance Pinion MGU, you get reliable assistance for even the heaviest loads. From remote camping trips to long-distance touring, the Charger5 is your ultimate adventure companion.

Stay Safe, Day or Night

Ride with confidence, no matter the terrain. The Charger5 is equipped with a powerful headlight featuring high and low beams, plus a rear light with an integrated brake light. You'll always have a clear view and be seen by others, whether you're on a forest trail or a city street. For security, the bike comes with a built-in frame lock and a durable lock chain. For even greater peace of mind, opt for the Bosch eBike ABS for superior stopping power and control. Charging is simple. You can remove the battery or use the easily accessible charging socket located on the top tube.

Adventure-Ready. Always.

The Charger5 is more than just a bike; it's your ultimate adventure partner. Whether you’re tackling multi-day treks or navigating rugged backroads, the Charger5 delivers a smooth, confident ride. With its powerful motor and long-range battery options, you can push your limits and explore further than ever before. With its robust and comfortable design, even the most challenging journeys feel effortless. The Charger5 is a reliable companion built to get you to your next great destination, wherever that may be.
