CannondaleWonderwagen Neo
e-city
01
Origin
The Wonderwagen Neo is Cannondale's interpretation of the classic Dutch bakfiets (front-cargo box bike) reimagined for modern electric family transport. The front cabin is large enough for two children or up to 100 kg of cargo, a suspension fork manages the loaded front weight, and Magura's 4-piston brakes provide the stopping power needed for a 250 kg gross load descending a ramp. The Bosch Cargo Line motor was chosen specifically for its ability to deliver sustained torque under heavy loads — not just peak bursts. With a 725 Wh battery on the Neo 1, urban families can cover a week of school runs on a single charge.
