This is a Charger electric bike (color: black) that has the Golden Eagle Bike Engine Kit added. (We're selling this as we got a Piaggio MP3 scooter.)
We're not particularly mechanically inclined anymore and we never got the electric part of the bike working at top speed because we could not keep the wheel sensor properly aligned. We could get it up to about 17 mph on flat streets using electric and human pedaling only (properly aligned it should have done 20 mph). With the gas engine, the bike does get up to almost 30 mph on flat streets.
Have not used the electric since putting on the gas engine. Battery does not need to be on bike to operate as a bike or with the Robin/Subaru gas engine. We left all electrical components on the bike but you can take them off and will not effect rideability.
Bike can be ridden as
- Regular 7-speed bike
- Gas bike getting up to 200 mpg at 27-28 mph
- Electric bike if you adjust sensors and put snap-on battery on bike
For more information:
- Charger bike (this is the black comfort model)
- Golden Eagle Gas Bike kit with 350R/S 35cc Robin/Subaru 4-Stroke Engine
- Electric bike
This is a sturdy bike.

It's a great Electric Bike. I rode it quite a bit last year--about 500 miles. It's very suitable. You think you're a strong rider because it's easy and you're going fast, but it's really just assisting you all the way. Very trippy. And it's sturdy and well built. I was able to ride 8 miles to work on it without barely breaking a sweat. And I've taken it up to 29 miles an hour. If you get one, be very careful.if you take the battery box apart. Be very careful in handling the controller board. I pulled mine out for some reason, while installing wiring to allow externally accessing the battery pack, and then the bike wouldn't function afterward. A high speed frame mounted motor on the other hand allows us to get much higher power from the get go...and if it's run through a low granny gear, it'll climb most any hill.
