Developed via a collaboration between Cyberbike and Rerode, the Charger R1 is designed for off-road and all-terrain use. The vehicle is powered by a 72V 35Ah LG lithium battery, which is removable for external charging, and a motor capable of delivering 10kW of peak power and 390 Nm of torque. This drivetrain, managed by a sine wave vector controller, supports top speeds exceeding 50 mph and offers two distinct speed modes. Its chassis features 19-inch moto wheels equipped with 4-piston hydraulic bicycle-grade brakes and a suspension system comprised of a FastAce front fork and an adjustable rear air shock. For operator convenience, the unit includes a keyed ignition, onboard USB-A and USB-C charging ports, and an integrated lighting system, although the tail light does not function as a brake light. The R1 is available in Silver, Stealth Black, and Racer Red color options and is supported by the manufacturer's dealer network and customer service.
The Freshly Charged Take
The Cyberbike Charger R1 is a sub-$4,500 electric dirt bike that bucks the budget e-moto trend in the ways that actually matter. Where most bikes in this price range cut corners on suspension and geometry, the R1 shows up with Fast Ace forks up front, adjustable air suspension out back, and a sine wave vector controller that makes the power delivery feel premium well above its price point. At 130 lbs, it's nimble, it's well-finished out of the box, and it's backed by a brand with real customer support infrastructure, which is a rarer find in this space than it should be. It's not the fastest, the bottom-end torque leaves a little to be desired, and there are a handful of refinements Cyberbike should address in future runs... but as an all-around trail package, the R1 is a compelling buy for those seeking a quiet, easy to ride, comfortable electric dirt bike with great geometry.
