Never Shift Again

E-bikes made even easier, with Enviolo’s auto shifting.
We all love the feeling of those one-in-a-million, magical moments out there on a bike. You know, when the wind just so happens to be at your back, pushing you along. When the temperature is just right. When all the elements seem to be on your side in fact.
Well, with the Cannondale Tesoro Automatiq you have a bicycle that’s been designed to bring that feeling to all your rides, wherever you’re heading and whatever you’re looking for out there.
It takes the “oh-wow” ease of an e-bike and dials it up a whole new level of efficiency and effortlessness. And it gives you more of an opportunity to smell the proverbial flowers and enjoy the sights and sounds around you while you’re at it.
Go with the flow
Built around a robust and responsive alloy frame, a big part of the secret to the Tesoro Automatiq’s seamless ride quality and comfort lies in Cannondale's collaboration with a company called Enviolo. Their ingenious automatic integrated gear hub is there to take over the gear shifting side of things for you, letting you sit back, spin your legs and enjoy the ride around you.
Just when you thought e-bikes couldn’t make riding easier, the Enviolo system rolls up and automatically handles the gear shifts for you based on how fast you’re pedaling. Uphill, downhill, or starting from a stop, it seamlessly adjusts the gearing on its own, letting you keep the same, effortless cadence. You'll be surprised just how easy and intuitive it is. And how quickly you forget how much of the work on the bike is being done for you.
Wow in every ride
Enviolo’s unique “set and forget” system is a perfect match for Tesoro, transforming the way it shifts and effortlessly transforming your ride in the process. One minute you’re effortlessly accelerating away from the lights on your way to work, the next you’re cruising through traffic in the optimal gear to do the school pick up. All without thinking about shifting gear once. It’s a set up and system that’s so seamless you’ll forget it's even there.
Meanwhile, an adventure outside the city suddenly becomes something that’s a whole lot more achievable and inviting. Throw some climbs into the mix and the Enviolo hub takes it all in its stride, keeping you in the optimal gear while letting you focus on simply enjoying the moment. Or the view. Or that lunch stop in the next village.
Enviolo totally changes the way you ride—no gear shifting needed. And it takes the Tesoro, already a game-changer with its 185km range, to a whole new level.
One Ride Away
Of course, riding 185km on a single charge is quite a claim for an e-bike. But doing that across French and Swiss mountains is a whole other claim entirely. But that’s exactly what a couple of our riders did, to really test the endurance chops of the Tesoro Automatiq, along with its do-it-all, split-personality urban-adventure vibe.
