Grater 0 Complete Bike - 2016

Riding a bike doesn't have to be complicated, though the current state of the industry might have you convinced otherwise. With brands like Charge Bikes from the UK leading the, uh, charge, riding a bike takes a step back to what you remember it being from your youth: turning the damn pedals and enjoying the ride. With a simple singlespeed setup, durable frameset, flat handlebar, and minimal graphic treatment, the Grater 0 Complete Bike answers the call to your around-town pedal-powered vehicle.

The Grater uses a proven standby material in its frame construction: 6061 butted aluminum. Custom dropouts with rack and fender mounts add to the frame's versatility, allowing you to ride year-round and pack extra gear for the adventures ahead. Charge mated the durable aluminum main frame with an alloy fork and flat handlebar for optimal comfort and handling.

Charge knows that simple is better for the concrete jungles we navigate day-to-day, which is why it built the Grater with no-fuss components to keep you out of the shop and on the road. As such, a 42t front chainring is paired with a DNP 16t freewheel, powered by a Rust-buster KMC chain. 32mm Charge Coaster tires keep you rolling, and Tektro brakes handle stopping duties.
