- What makes the C380+ different from a chain-drive e-bike?
- It uses a belt drive and an Enviolo continuously variable hub instead of a chain and derailleur. That means no chain oil, quieter running and the ability to shift while stopped.
- Is the Gazelle Ultimate C380+ good for hilly cities?
- The mid-drive motor provides solid assistance on moderate climbs. The CVT hub adds some drag, so steep, long climbs feel harder than on a lighter derailleur bike.
- How far can I ride on a charge?
- Range depends on assist level, terrain and rider weight. Owners report it is fine for typical commutes but modest for long weekend rides, so plan charging for longer trips.
- Can I carry cargo or a child seat?
- It comes with a rear rack and fenders, so it is set up for panniers and everyday cargo. Check the rack's stated load limit before fitting a child seat.
- Who is the medium frame size for?
- Medium suits riders of average height, roughly in the middle of Gazelle's size range. Fit depends on inseam and reach, so confirm sizing with a test ride if possible.
- Does it come with lights and fenders?
- Yes, it is equipped as a complete city bike with integrated lights, fenders and a rear rack. That makes it ready for commuting without add-ons.

- At Mike's Bikes, for $4,998.99, as of our latest check.
