This is the ultimate touring ebike, though it also works perfectly as a primary 'round town bike. It's handsome, capable of comfortably hauling 60lbs of gear, and rides so good!
The Charger is a favorite for big and tall people, who typically can't believe that a bike can feel so solid. This is the biggest frame that R&M makes: the 56cm fits riders up to 6'9".
New for 2024, this bike can now be configured with the 250Wh PowerMore battery, bringing the total battery capacity to 1000Wh. We really like this modular approach. Most of us don't want to be carting around any more battery weight than we have to. Want to bring it up to 1250Wh for those extra long days? Buy another PowerMore and put it in a bag.
Speaking of bags, do not overlook the usefulness of the front rack and bag option on this bike! It is the absolute best way to carry the stuff you want to access easily.
If you're under 5'8", this is a difficult bike to straddle. Check out the Charger Mixte, which is the same bike with a slightly different frame with a lower step-over height and fits 5'5" riders.
