The Charger4. Extends riding pleasure.

The Charger4 is the everyday E-Bike for long-lasting riding enjoyment. Thanks to its fully integrated 750 Wh battery, it comfortably takes you through everyday life and far beyond. The suspension fork and suspension seatpost ensure a high level of riding comfort – making it just as comfortable and safe to ride on dirt tracks as on asphalt roads. Well-thought-out components, such as the versatile carrier and the bright light of the daytime running light, are ideal for daily commuting or an extended weekend trip in all weathers.

The Charger4 is available in four models: the Charger4 GT Touring, Charger4 GT Vario, Charger4 GT Rohloff and Charger4 GT Automatic..  For a Charger with a sloping top tube, check out the Charger4 Mixte here with a lower cross bar.  

• Charger4 GT Touring features the sporty Shimano Cues 11-speed, 11-50T cassette and chain.
• Charger4 GT Vario features the continuous Enviolo 380 hub gear, and a Gates carbon belt drive so you are always in the perfect gear: no gaps between shifts, virtually maintenance- and wear-free.  Choose this option to be able to shift to any gear at any time and to avoid the maintenance and repair/replacement requirements found with a standard chain, derailluer and cassette configuration.  Read more about the Enviolo hub system here.
• Charger 4 GT Automatic adds automatic shifting to the GT Vario.  Simply select the ideal pedalling rate for you and the system automatically determines the right gear and shifts for you. This way, you can tackle any incline feeling completely relaxed, without ever getting out of breath. Even after short interruptions to riding, for example at traffic lights, you automatically shift back to the perfect gear. You can adjust the pedal frequency at any time as required via the Bosch E-Bike display and external control unit.
• Charger4 GT Rohloff uses the electronic Rohloff E-14 featuring the eShift function of the Bosch E-Bike system – an electronic gear shift activation unit. The drive and gear communicate with each other and synchronise the gear-shifting process to make it as light, precise and efficient as possible. An ergonomic switch with two buttons replaces the twist shift grip and gear cables. You can now shift gear in less than 200 ms – and that’s with a 526 % gear ratio. Multi-shift mode simultaneously shifts 3 gears in a single sequence, while the auto-downshift function automatically returns the gear to your individually selected starting gear when the bike comes to a standstill. A Gates Carbon Belt gives you years of maintenance free riding without needing to clean, oil or replace a chain.

Frame design and integrated battery

So much power on board.

The fully integrated 750 Wh battery and the Performance Line CX motor, part of the Bosch smart system, fit perfectly into the stylishly designed frame. So now you can ride up to 100 km with just a single battery charge. The optional Bosch PowerMore 250 Wh additional battery provides extra power: only as big as a drinking bottle and weighing just 1.6 kg, it can be stowed away in a backpack or bike bag. And should you spontaneously decide to go on a longer trip, then just attach the energy reserve to the down tube and continue riding for another 50 km without the need to stop and charge.

Integrated cockpit

Smart control centre.

The optional cockpit is perfectly integrated into the handlebar and impresses with its tidy cabling. The Kiox 300 display is the ideal smart gadget to have with you on everyday trips or more challenging rides – keep an eye on your trip and fitness data on the large colour display. Thanks to the adjustable angle of the stem, you can select a sitting position to suit your needs anywhere between comfortable and sporty. But the standard Intuvia 100 display without cockpit also creates a tidy appearance and provides an overview of your speed, range and much more. Conveniently use the LED Remote for both displays to select your riding mode: the colour indicates your selected riding mode.

Comfort

Like riding on fresh asphalt.

Uneven trails can be encountered anywhere, even in the city: cobblestones, gravel paths, small potholes or cracks in the concrete can tarnish your riding pleasure. The suspension seatpost and sensitive suspension fork offer so much comfort that you’ll barely feel any bumps. However, the optional Comfort Kit, with its classic curved handlebar and wider saddle, provides the perfect solution for anyone who likes to sit particularly upright and comfortably.

Lighting

See and be seen.

The right, powerful headlamp for your Charger4 model enhances your visibility in road traffic. During the day, the daytime running light ensures that you are seen even better, while in the dark, bright and even illumination shows the way. And if you need to stop quickly, the Magura disc brakes pack quite a punch.

Safety equipment

Safe on the road at all times.

The Charger stands out with its enhanced safety. You remain in control when you have to brake suddenly, thanks to its optional Bosch eBike ABS 2.0: it reliably prevents tires slipping, the rear wheel lifting and the whole bike skidding out to the side. Its standard Magura disc brakes also pack a powerful punch when you need to stop quickly. And you are always clearly visible in traffic, thanks to the daytime running lights of the powerful headlight, which also brightly and evenly illuminates the road in the dark. Out of town, the main beam of our GT models, with its extra-wide opening angle, ensures that you can see clearly at all times.

Luggage system

Carries virtually everything.

Your Charger4 is perfectly equipped for the most diverse transport tasks, thanks to its standard carrier with MIK system. Whether you need to carry a bag to work, a basket for a picnic outing or two larger panniers for shopping – the MIK system lets you quickly and simply swap accessories. Child seats can also be mounted as the carrier is capable of withstanding a 27.5 kg load. No matter what or who you choose to transport, safety and stability is always paramount.

The Bosch System.

Motors, batteries and displays – great performance from a single source.  Find out more about the benefits of the Bosch eBike system here.

Options

Kiox 300 cockpit

The Kiox 300 display is perfectly integrated into the cockpit: the internal cabling creates a tidy, minimalist appearance. The adjustable angle of the stem lets you choose between a sportier or more upright seating position.
The Kiox 300 display is perfect for sporty riders: it displays more than just fitness data, helping riders to optimise their training. It is even possible to pair it with heart rate monitors via Bluetooth. Map-free navigation (only in conjunction with a smartphone) completes the features of the Kiox 300. It can be intuitively operated using the LED Remote on the handlebars.

750 Wh + Range Extender 250 Wh

The Bosch PowerMore 250 Wh additional battery supplements the power of the standard 750 Wh battery – for even greater range and flexibility. Only as big as a drinking bottle and weighing just 1.6 kg, it can be stowed away in a backpack or bike bag. And should you spontaneously decide to go on a longer trip, then just attach the energy reserve to the down tube and continue riding for another 50 km without the need to stop and charge.

Bosch eBike ABS 2.0

The Bosch eBike ABS 2.0 ensures that you remain safely on the saddle even when you need to brake suddenly – on solid asphalt roads or gravel tracks. It prevents tires from slipping, the rear wheel lifting and the whole bike skidding out to the side. Magura MT5 four-piston brakes on the front and rear wheels provide additional safety, as does the rear light with integrated brake light function.

Front carrier

Being sporty when out and about – and yet still having everything you need with you. You can secure up to 5 kg of luggage on the front carrier, fixed to the frame and hence co-sprung, perfectly protected from knocks and bumps. Bungee cords secure a sleeping bag, small sports bag or provisions in place in no time at all. And you’ll come to appreciate your front luggage carrier just as quickly.

Front carrier with bag

Keep on the move and still have everything with you. You can secure up to 5 kg of luggage on the front carrier, which is fixed to the frame and hence benefits from the bike’s full suspension, perfectly protecting your cargo from knocks and bumps. The bag offers space for a volume of up to 18 litres. Thanks to the zipper and roll closure, your transported goods are perfectly protected from dirt and rain. The bag can be removed quickly and easily and becomes a shoulder bag using the strap supplied. You can safely store smaller items in the two outer pockets equipped with waterproof zippers.

GX option

If you like riding your E-Bike off-road, then simply equip it with first-class Schwalbe all-terrain tires. Their flat tire studs in the middle of the running surface have extremely low rolling resistance for faster riding on straight sections. The solid tire studs on the shoulders of the tire guarantee exceptional grip, particularly when cornering.

Additional chain lock with bag

The sturdy Abus chain lock, in addition to the Abus Shield frame lock, provides twice the security for your E-Bike.The 130 cm long chain is latched onto the frame lock and you can quickly lock your bike to the nearest lamppost or lock it together with up to three other bikes. The chain thickness of 6 mm ensures a high level of anti-theft protection. Especially practical: frame lock, chain lock and battery lock all use the same key. The bag is firmly attached to the saddle and allows quick and easy removal of the chain lock thanks to its ergonomic shape and Fidlock magnetic closure. Please note: for smaller frame sizes the lowest saddle position may not be usable when the lock bag is fitted.
