Norco Charger VLT brings eMTB to cross country trails
One e-bike to rule mountain, city and commute
As eMTB’s gain traction and popularity, many new models focus on helping you go further and shred harder. With the Charger VLT e-cross country bike, Norco shifts that focus to enabling you to do all kinds of riding with just one bike.
The Charger VLT mixes eMTB capabilities with a value-based build that lets you do more than just ride trails. The aluminum frame features fender and rack mounts and a removable battery integrated in the frame. This all allows the VLT to pull double duty on the daily as a commuter, and still hit the trails on the weekends – or after work.

The Charger VLT gets 120-mm of front wheel travel via an SR Suntour XCM32 DS fork. A Shimano STEPS E7000 electric-assist drive unit provides reliable power to the pedals. The STEPS drive’s energy is supplied by a 504Wh E8035 in-tube battery. The battery unit is easily removed for charging, or for ease of mind when you’re locking the bike up.
Build and price
Norco’s Charger VLT is backed by a full complement of eMTB rated components, so you’re set to hit the trails. There’s e-rated hydraulic disc brakes, 29″ wheels, durable tires, and an e-bike specific 9-speed drivetrain.
The Norco Charger VLT comes in one model, and retails for $4,300. It is available in sizes S, M, L, and XL.
