Description

The Cannondale Tesoro Carbon 2 is a carbon commuter e-bike with a Bosch Performance Line Sprint mid-drive rated 60 Nm by Bosch and an integrated 400 Wh Bosch Compact PowerTube battery.

It has a rigid carbon fork, SRAM S-300 hydraulic disc brakes on 160 mm rotors, 700 x 35c Vittoria Terreno Zero tires and a SRAM 12-speed drivetrain. A Lezyne headlight, alloy fenders with an integrated rear light, rear pannier bars and a kickstand come fitted.

A Bosch System Controller in the top tube with a Mini Remote pairs with the Bosch app, which adds a free motor lock. Pedal assist runs to 28 mph and there is no throttle. Cannondale's page calls it a seriously light 16 kg (35.3 lb) without naming a size, and publishes no range figure.

The Tesoro Carbon 1 sells for $4,769.00 on the same drive system.
