What’s good 👍

  • Rear hub motor provides assistance up to 20 mph on flat terrain and offers enough power for climbs and rough terrain.
  • Thumb throttle gives you precise control over the electric motor’s power, providing an extra boost when needed.
  • Disc brakes offer powerful and reliable stopping performance in all weather conditions and when carrying cargo.
  • Semi-integrated battery can be easily removed without tools, allowing for convenient indoor charging or taking it with you for peace of mind.
  • Large, easy-to-read LCD display provides quick access to important information such as power levels and boost settings.

What’s not so good 👎

  • Limited frame sizes are available as of May 2023, with only medium and large sizes offered. No small frame size is currently available.
  • Tires and rims on the Adventure Neo Allroad are not tubeless ready or compatible, which may limit options for some riders.

Our Verdict 🎗

Should you buy it, avoid it or shortlist it?

We think that you should definitely shortlist it.

Cannondale Adventure Neo Allroad offers several appealing features for e-bike enthusiasts. The rear hub motor provides assistance up to 20 mph, ensuring a smooth ride on flat and hilly terrains.

The thumb throttle adds an extra boost when needed, enhancing the overall riding experience. The powerful disc brakes and easy-to-read LCD display also contribute to the bike’s reliability and user-friendly interface.

However, it’s worth considering that the limited availability of frame sizes and the lack of tubeless compatibility for tires and rims may be limiting factors for some individuals.

Considering all aspects, it is advisable to shortlist the Cannondale Adventure Neo Allroad if its available frame sizes meet your requirements and the tubeless compatibility is not a crucial factor for your riding preferences.
