Cannondale Adventure Neo

…it feels like pedaling sitting in an armchair.

It is almost perfect for the use for which it was designed, so we should not think of it as an expensive bike but rather as a means of transportation, cheaper and more fun than a hatchback.

It is a well-equipped bike for anyone looking to do some commuting, a little gravel path joyriding, or anything in between.

Bending the Adventure Neo 1 EQ around hard corners, you can feel the stiffness, which you might guess wouldn’t be the case with a step-through design.

I ended up covering close to half a century, and when I finally got home, I still had two power bars left — which is consistent with the brand’s claimed 65 miles of range.

So can an e-bike replace a small scooter? The answer is yes, especially if equipped with the features of this model.

With the top model Adventure Neo 1 EQ, Cannondale has created a comfortable and, above all, very safe city bike that also proves itself on long trips into the countryside.

In short, the Cannondale Adventure Neo 1 EQ is a luxury urban e-bike, with all the details well thought-through…

The behavior of the bike even on cobblestones… crossing streetcar tracks, or some potholes is truly exemplary from the comfort point of view.

All in all, this bike is stable, very comfortable, has a good set-up, slightly curved handlebars, plenty of support and, last but not least, a great overview of the road ahead of you and behind you.

The low step makes it easy to get on the bike, and the equipment lets you glide smoothly over the roads. It doesn’t matter whether you’re riding on city streets or dirt roads and bike paths beyond the city limits.

…it is clear that the Cannondale Adventure Neo 1 EQ is a mid-high-range urban electric bike, not accessible to every pocket but recommended for users who want high standards of reliability and spec. 

Between the balloon tires, the suspension fork, and the suspension seatpost, we have rarely ridden in such comfort.
