CHARGE BIKES

Enter Charge Bikes! While this stylish brand might not be as well-known in these parts yet, we are sure it will catch the attention of the Asian crowd very quickly with its good looks. The brand started business in a small farm building in the south west of England in 2005 by owner Nick Larsen, who is well-versed in industrial design, publicity and loves bikes. In the short history of the brand, it has already caught the attentions of bigger investors. It started with some funding from Hotwheels as silent partners but was soon noticed and invested by international giant CSG. Charge Bikes started off its product lines with urban bikes and fixies, thus the hip designs in their bikes, and later expanded onto road and all-terrain bikes. One of the company's objectives was to promote cycling to non-cyclists. We find this commendable.

 

Fast forward a little and they currently has 4 categories of bikes and are also well-known for their custom-built saddles. The products are Plug: Road Bikes, Grater: Urban Bikes, Cooker: All Terrain bikes and Performance: Titanium Bikes.

 

 

COOKER SERIES

The Cooker series are Charge Bikes' all-terrain bicycles. Attractive looks and versatile geometry made these bikes suitable for technical mountain trail or pot-holed street. Bikezilla took notice of the Cooker Maxi Fat Bike. There are currently 2 builds for the Maxi Fat Bikes – the Maxi 1 and Maxi 2.
