230V Focus eBike Charger, How to Charge from 110V?

[shreddr]

I just purchased a Focus Bold2 from Hungary (phenomenal build quality) and the bike came with the charger, but not the US version. See the attached picture its showing it needs a 230V input. If I use an adapter to plug into US 110, will it work but just not as fast or do I need to get a 220 outlet installed in my garage? Thanks

How much is a US spec charger from one of the US focus dealers?

$160, but I would prefer to use the one I already paid for.

Wow, that's pricey, no wonder you're looking for options!

You can try to find a travel converter but finding a European to American one in America it going to be tough.

Or you can get a step up/step down

I ended up buying one of those. I did find the step up unit for less than $20
