Whether you're commuting daily, running errands or heading further afield, this bike is built to handle real-world riding without compromise.
WHO THIS BIKE SUITS
You want a reliable, long-range e-bike with solid everyday range — fewer charging stops and more riding.
The lowstep frame matters to you, whether that's ease of mounting and dismounting or simply a more accessible, confidence-inspiring riding position.
You want a bike that's ready for daily use — practical, dependable and built to last.
You want a refined build with an air-sprung fork and suspension seatpost for a noticeably smoother, more comfortable ride.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
If you want more range, the Charter+ 5 R10 800Wh is worth a look.
If you want more off-road capability, the Charter+ Trail models may be the better direction.
WHERE IT SITS IN THE RANGE
The Charter+ R10 sits at the step up of the Charter+ family — giving you the core ingredients that matter most without moving into higher-spec territory.
HOW IT RIDES
Motor and assistance
The Bosch Smart System PX motor delivers smooth, consistent assistance that makes light work of hills and longer distances.
Range
The 540Wh battery removes the daily charging routine for most riders — real-world range that suits commuting, errands and weekend rides alike.
Handling and comfort
The SR Suntour Mobie 34 takes the edge off road surfaces without adding unnecessary weight or complexity.
Practicality
Integrated lights, mudguards and a MIK rear rack come as standard — ready to ride from day one.
