About Enviolo?
Enviolo is a manufacturer of continuously variable transmissions (CVT) for bicycles and e-bikes. The focus is squarely on the riding experience. Thanks to their technology, riders can fully concentrate on cycling instead of shifting gears.
The heart of the Enviolo drivetrain is its planetary gear system. Rotating balls enable seamless changes across the gear range, controlled either manually via a twist shifter or automatically.
Simplicity, durability, low maintenance, and quiet operation -- all of this is delivered with an Enviolo gear system.Advantages of the Enviolo shifting system

With Enviolo, you can change gear ratios in any ride condition without ever having to stop pedaling or backpedaling.
MAINTENANCE FREE
The enclosed hub offers protection against external influences, which increases durability and extends product lifetime.
NEAR SILENT
Our bikes equipped with Enviolo’s hubs offer a near-silent and smooth ride. No more sounds of a jumping chain or clicking of the controller, just the sounds of your surroundings.
