The favorite bike in my quiver. I’ve purchased 2 Gazelle e-bikes. The first was for my wife - an Ultimate C380 HMB. Unfortunately, because of multiple spine & joint problems she is uncomfortable riding any bike. However, I liked it so much I sold it (too small for me) and bought an Ultimate C380+. I live and ride on gravel roads so I added a suspension seatpost and a different saddle. I love this bike, it’s becoming my favorite ride (I have several nice bikes). They are not inexpensive but they are very high quality. The frame is beautiful with a scratch resistant finish. The tires are durable, puncture resistant Schwalbes. The Gates belt drive is a worry and grease free delight. Other than air in the tires and rare disc brake adjustment there is virtually no maintenance. This is not a racing bike but it’s a utilitarian, super comfortable and just plain fun bike to ride.

Love my new Avignon Got a Gazelle Avignon a few months ago, I am a regular bike commuter ~8 miles and it is a delight. No major issues. I like all the features, except 1) the bell doesnt ring very loudly and 2) cant charge with temp below 32F (which it often is in Boston winters) and cant ride befow 23F. I am 81 and can now pass the girls on the hills.

This bike is a beauty and a well built… This bike is a beauty and a well built machine. The finish, including paint and weld joints are impeccable. The bike is big, too big for me due a back injury. While its size/weight make for an extremely comfortable ride, stops and starts are only faintly similar to a conventional bike. The bike is not particularly maneuverable and feels like a tank when negotiating sharp turns and mitigating street traffic. From a cosmetic perspective I’m curious when considering the flawless finish of the bike that quality control didn’t get around to bundling and securing the cords on the handlebar area. Also, the headlamp while integrated, seems like an afterthought based on mounting and lack of intensity. Unfortunately, even with the Bosch mid-drive, the bike is terribly underpowered, lacking torque to easily assist on grades. I don’t think I would purchase this bike if I had the chance to reconsider.

It is worth the few extra dollars The buying experience with our local Gazelle dealer (Cranked Bike Studio) and great engineering of your bikes, has gone beyond any of our expectations. We got the C8's for many reasons, test rode about 15 different brands, and decided on the Gazellles!

Gazelle really did the design right I love the design of my new Royal Dutch Gazelle bike. The combination of the comfortable ride of the bike with the Bosch motor and Enviolo hub make longer journeys through the city possible and even pleasant. The Ultimate is making car-free living better. Thanks to the fantastic people at Electric Avenue Houston for helping me find the perfect bike.
