The quick read

Is it for you?

Best suited to

Long-distance commuters who want suspension at both ends and no gears to think about.

Standout strength

The Charger is the brand's long-haul workhorse, and the Enviolo hub makes it effortless in traffic.

The main compromise

It is heavy, and the Core trim still costs more than most complete e-bikes.
