The name says it all. Because without a charger, the CHARGER FACTORY doesn't get very far. Boasting generous 160 mm and beefy tires, this rig drains watt-hour after watt-hour from the battery and craves a plug-in recharge post-ride.
In the automotive and motorcycle world, Japan has always had a reputation for being a breeding ground for excellent engines. Shimano is doing its utmost to live up to this reputation in the e-bike world with the EP801 engine. Even nasty steep sections are effortlessly climbed by the motor. The Shimano EP801 conveys a riding feeling. The average range can become a problem especially for long mountain bike rides.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Orange CHARGER FACTORY in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (10000) .

The golden shine Fox chassis can certainly be described as fantastic. With its absorption qualities, it can easily absorb rough shocks in descents and provide calm behind the handlebars. Setup-Nerds can squeeze out the maximum performance from the chassis thanks to the many setting options. When it comes to the brakes, Orange reaches for the top shelf and instals premium brakes with four pistons and large brake rotors from Shimano. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Orange leaves almost no wishes open and only uses outstanding parts. With a high Reach value, Orange follows the calls of end-users for modern geometries. But the engineers don't lose sight of the remaining geometry measurements. When considering the whole picture, it must be said that the remaining geometry values very good harmonise.
