The bicycle has changed very little this past century ...until now!!! |

Designed and made in the U.S.A. by AeroVironment, Inc. and GT bikes, the Charger e-bikes use a most advanced power system!
Shortly after the Charger was first introduced here, Popular Science magazine named it Grand Winner for the best new recreational product.
Popular Science said: "Delivering exceptionally smooth interaction between the bicyclist and motor, the Charger powers electric-assist bicycles to a new level of excellence."

Multiply your strength when you encounter hills and head winds!
Unlike e-bikes that have a manual "accelerator" for extra assist, the Charger has a pedal pressure sensor that sends a signal to a micro-processor. You push an assist button--adding zero to four times your own strength!...up to 1/2 horsepower.
Like a regular bike, you must pedal unless you're coasting. But this "bionic" system lets you to go further and up steeper hills than is possible with most hub motor bikes, unless they have very large motors that require large, heavier, and costlier batteries.

There are many advantages to this system, begining with higher electrical efficiency and superior battery management
|
|
Add a light "Cro-Moly" frame, top grade aluminum alloy handle-bars, cranks, wheels...internal hub gearing, and more! Unlike most e-bikes that have a single gear motor, the Charger's motor connects directly to seven speeds for greater efficiency...high torque in low gear, high speed in high gear! We don't settle for a one speed transmission in cars, so why settle for anything less on an electric bicycle!
