Description

The Cannondale FlyingV is a carbon city e-bike with a Bosch Performance Line Sprint mid-drive rated 60 Nm and 250 W nominal, and an integrated 400 Wh Bosch CompactTube battery.

It has a rigid carbon fork, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes on 180 mm rotors, 700 x 50c Continental Contact Urban tires, a Gates carbon belt and a Shimano Nexus five-speed hub. Carbon full-coverage fenders, Supernova front and rear lights, a rear rack rated 40 lb and a kickstand come fitted.

A Bosch LED Remote and an SP-Connect phone mount on the stem turn a phone into the display through the Bosch app, which adds a free motor lock. Pedal assist runs to 28 mph and there is no throttle. Cannondale publishes no weight and no range figure for it. Tiger Eye and Tungsten Blue sell at the same price.
