On Monday, Cannondale announced the Treadwell Neo, a pedal-assist version of the brand’s popular Treadwell hybrid/fitness bike.
The Treadwell Neo is equipped with the Mahle ebikemotion X35 lightweight 250W hub-drive system, weighing just 7.7 pounds and offering three levels of assist. The bike’s downtube conceals a 250Wh battery that can be easily charged via a port in the frame.
“The system is controlled via a single illuminated button conveniently located on the toptube, which lets you select the assist level, turn the power on and off, activate the lights, and see the battery charge at a glance. It also keeps the handlebars free of wires and clutter,” Cannondale stated in a release.
Component spec includes a motorcycle-inspired saddle and handlebars, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, a nine-speed drivetrain, kickstand, cushy Maxxis DTR-1 650b x 47c tires, and Cannondale’s own wheel sensor and Intellimount stem.
“The sensor seamlessly pairs with a free Cannondale app, giving (riders) access to speed, distance, calories burned, and even carbon emissions saved. A secure mount on the stem allows riders to turn their smartphone into a real-time dashboard display. The Cannondale app also tracks maintenance needs and sends reminders when it’s time for a service, automatically registers the bike with Cannondale, and more,” Cannondale stated.
The premium EQ version of the Treadwell NEO also includes fenders, front and rear lights from Hermans, and front rack.
Both the Treadwell Neo ($2,300) and Treadwell Neo HQ ($2,750) come in step-through and step-over frame versions, with a rigid alloy fork standard. For more information, visit cannondale.com.
