Selecting The Best Electric Bike for Adults

We’ve all heard the saying, “it’s like riding a bike,” and here at Charge, we’re obsessed with making innovative, high-quality, electric bikes that are both easy and fun to ride. Selecting the best electric bike should be as easy as riding one, and with three affordable and reliable models to choose from, you can find the one that fits your lifestyle and cycling needs. From city streets to rugged terrain to everywhere in between, Charge electric bikes provide a smooth and exhilarating ride with less fatigue to get you wherever you’re going. From the makers of Cannondale and Schwinn, our electric bikes are bringing the freedom and enjoyment of cycling to more people than ever before with these premium features that come standard across all models.

What should you look for when buying an electric bike?

• Powerful motor that provides electric assist (up to 20 MPH) as you pedal, making your ride as easeful as you like with 5 levels of assist – or totally effortless!
• Up to 50-mile range—all on a single charge. Plus, the handlebar display always lets you know how much farther you can push it.
• Easy to store with folding handlebars and pedals that can be adjusted in seconds, so your bike takes up less space.
• Safe and visible: ride with ease knowing high-powered, built-in front and rear lights and reflective tire walls have your back.
• Green means go! Smart air pressure sensors fitted on puncture-resistant tires take out the guesswork: when the cap shows green, you're good to go!
• Rugged rack: built-in racks make it easy to attach baskets, crates or bins to bring along your daily essentials, no matter where you’re headed.
