Cannondale Mavaro Neo 5 Hybrid E-Bike

The Cannondale Mavaro Neo 5 is a wonderfully comfortable hybrid e-bike which, with its low and wide step-through design and comfortable sitting position, is suitable for anyone who likes to go out for a nice long recreational tour.

Comfortable sitting position and good shock absorption
The Mavaro Neo 5 is an electric bike which is ideal for comfortable rides in the city and countryside. As the handlebars are rather high in relation to the saddle while being relatively close to it, you will sit up straight. And because the stem is adjustable, you can adjust your sitting position exactly to your needs. The front suspension is very smooth; in combination with 50mm wide tyres you will hardly notice any bumps. The sturdy frame also offers very precise steering, making every ride very pleasurable indeed.
The position of the Bosch Active Line Plus motor and the in-frame battery gives this e-bike a centrally located centre of gravity. This results in excellent road handling. The motor produces 50Nm, enough to roll smoothly through the city and to climb the odd hill. With its 500Wh capacity, the Mavaro is suitable for commuting and longer recreational tours.

High-quality shifting and braking
A good touring electric bike always benefits from having plenty of gears. This is why Cannondale has selected a 10-speed Shimano Deore rear derailleur. This gives you a very wide gear range, which is useful for riding up the aforementioned odd hill smoothly. On the descent you will want to use powerful and easy-to-dose brakes. This is exactly what the Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide, which will also increase your sense of security in heavy traffic.

Packed with small pluses
In addition to the components mentioned above, the Cannondale Mavaro Neo 5 is equipped with a host of useful features and accessories. At the front, this e-bike not only has a powerful headlight but also an additional daytime running light integrated into the frame. This makes you clearly visible during the day as well. This electric city bike is easy to charge as the charge port is located high on the frame, so that you won't have to bend over. Getting on and off the bike will also be a breeze thanks to the wide step-through design of the frame.

Sporty looks and good equipment
Although the bike has been designed mainly for comfort during longer rides, the Mavaro has a sporty look. The colour scheme around the motor catches the eye and gives the bike a sleek appearance. This is increased by the robust downtube and minimalist luggage rack design. The aluminium mudguards are a real eye-catcher, giving the Mavaro a sturdy and sporty appearance. It is an e-bike you'll be proud to be seen with.

The combination of ultimate comfort, user-friendliness and sporty looks makes the Cannondale Mavaro Neo 5 an interesting bike indeed. However it will be the sense of quality you'll get as soon as you get on it that will win you over.

Technology

Frame, fork and wheels
The wide step-through frame of the Cannondale Mavaro Neo 5 makes getting on and off the bike easy. The frame has been designed using Cannondale's SmartForm technology, whereby the tube material is thicker at stress points and thinner where possible, keeping the frame as light as possible while retaining its strength. Also, extra attention has been paid to robust "smooth welds" and post-welding heat treatment to ensure the sturdiness of the welded frame. This results in a stiff frame with excellent handling. The front fork features a HeadShok DL50 suspension with 50mm of travel. If you don't pump up the tyres to the max, the suspension combined with the tyres will provide plenty of damping. The wheels are equipped with thru-axles to increase stiffness and ensure tight steering.

E-bike technology
The Bosch Active Line Plus motor has 50 Nm torque. We recommend that bikes with this motor be used primarily on flat or slightly undulating roads. The motor may not feel powerful enough in the hills. In combination with the 500 Wh PowerTube battery, the realistic range is estimated at 100 km. This takes into account a total weight of rider, luggage and bike of 110 kg, varying weather and terrain conditions, and varying use of the assist modes. In more adverse conditions the range will be less than 100 km, in favourable conditions it will be more.

Shifting and braking
The Shimano Deore shifting parts are known for being used on mid-range mountain bikes. They will perform well on unpaved paths. The hydraulic disc brakes have 2 pistons per caliper. Compared to the 4-piston calipers found on some e-bikes, these calipers deliver slightly less, yet still plenty of braking power. The large 180 mm front disc brake rotor increases braking power and control of the front brake. This will make you feel confident when braking.

Lights
The integrated daytime running lights switch on automatically when the bike is switched on, making you clearly visible during the day. When the regular lights are switched on, the daytime running lights will dim. The head- and taillights are an Axa Compactline 35E and an Axa Blueline respectively.

Other parts
The bike has ergonomic grips and 680 mm wide handlebars with an ergonomic backsweep. This keeps your hands, wrists and elbows in a natural position, provided the bike is properly adjusted to your body. The Wave saddle is from Selle Royal's comfort line, aimed at lasting comfort during long rides.

User tips

Maintenance of the battery
If possible, charge your battery at room temperature. If outside temperatures drop below zero, we recommend removing the battery and storing it inside.
Do not store the battery empty. If you plan not to use your e-bike for a longer period of time, we recommend storing the battery at room temperature around 60% full. Charge the battery occasionally (once a month) to ensure that it lasts as long as possible.

Maintenance of gear parts and brakes
We recommend a regular cleaning of the chain and derailleur for optimum durability and efficiency. As for the hydraulic disc brakes, we recommend cleaning those hardly ever, as contamination with grease and detergents may impair braking performance. If you do want to clean the brake discs, we recommend doing so with a dry paper towel. Try not to touch the discs with your fingers.

Tyre pressure
Having the right tyre pressure is important. The wrong tyre pressure may cause punctures, more wear, rim damage when the pressure is low, and uncomfortable handling. For most e-bikes, tyre pressure is between 3.5 and 6 bar. The recommended pressure for your tyres should be printed on their sidewall.
