Research, research, research. After two months of research, I had specs for every brand ebike in an Excel spreadsheet. My first precondition was mid-drive; I did not want a rear hub motor. My criteria were power, performance, build quality, dealer network, post-sale service, warranty, and finally, weight. Gazelle provided the best value overall and that's what I went with. After 4 years I'm 100% pleased with my choice.

Gazelle: A Bike Built for Comfort and Durability I've been riding a Gazelle bike for over five days now, and I can honestly say that it's the best bike I've ever owned. It's comfortable, durable, and stylish, and it's always a pleasure to ride. I especially appreciate the Gazelle's upright riding position, which makes it so comfortable to ride for long distances. The seat is also very comfortable, and the suspension system does a great job of absorbing bumps and jolts. The Gazelle is also very durable. I've ridden it in all kinds of weather, and it's never let me down. The frame is made from high-quality materials, and the components are all top-notch. Finally, the Gazelle is just a beautiful bike. The sleek design and the high-quality paint job make it a real head-turner. Overall, I highly recommend Gazelle bikes to anyone looking for a comfortable, durable, and stylish bicycle. Pros: Comfortable riding position Supportive suspension Durable frame and components Stylish design Cons: None that I can think of I hope this review is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

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.

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!

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.
