Enviolo in-hub gear system
Changing gears is part and parcel of cycling. But Enviolo can do more – and do it better. Enviolo Automatic offers a new way of changing gears: intelligent, efficient, completely seamless and simply fun.
Perfect pedalling – always ride in the optimal gear
Feel as though you’re flying or gliding gently. Be the first at the traffic lights or enjoy a relaxed ride at a constant speed – whether on a commuter or cargo e-bike.
No distractions – free up your attention
Enviolo Automatic is a ‘set it and forget it’ system that adapts to you – choose your preferred pace and off you go. Focus on your ride in busy cities, on relaxed country rides or when cycling with children.
Low maintenance – fewer trips to the workshop
Enviolo Automatic is fully enclosed and ready for any weather. It requires no oil changes and means less hassle and maintenance, especially when combined with a belt drive.
Connected
Easy to configure and update using the Enviolo Automatic app.
Versatile
310–380% gear ratio range – ideal for any ride and environment.
Efficient
Riding in the optimal gear means less strain on you and your motor.
Safe
You can keep your attention focused on your balance and your surroundings.
Modern
Stylish and innovative, with fewer cables and minimalist frames.
CVP technology
The continuously variable planetary CVP technology is at the heart of Enviolo’s bicycle gear systems. The hub contains rotating balls that enable an unlimited number of gear ratios across its range. Between the input power from the pedals via the ring on the right-hand side And the output from the ring on the left-hand side to the wheel.
A specially developed oil in the hub housing ensures effortless shifting from one gear to the next. This makes shifting under load and pedalling a breeze. The whole system is controlled via a manual or automatic twist grip, which tilts the rotating balls and thereby changes the gear ratio. All Enviolo hubs offer the same advantages: simplicity, durability, maintenance-free operation and low noise.
