Is the Gazelle Ultimate C380 Plus good for commuting?

Yes. The upright position, fenders, lights and low-maintenance belt drive are built for daily city riding. It is heavier than a sporty commuter, so plan for that if you carry it often.

How does the Enviolo hub compare with a derailleur?

The Enviolo hub shifts steplessly and needs almost no cleaning, which suits wet city riding. A derailleur is lighter and more efficient, so it feels faster on long open roads.

Does it handle hills?

The Bosch mid-drive motor gives strong assist and the hub's low ratio helps on climbs. Steep, long hills will still work you harder than on a lighter derailleur e-bike.

What is included with the bike?

It comes as a complete city bike with fenders, lights, a rear rack and a kickstand. Check the listing for the battery size and any accessories bundled by the seller.

Is the step-through frame stable at speed?

Yes. The aluminum frame is stiff and the 28-inch wheels roll steadily. The upright geometry favors comfort over quick handling.

Riders who want a light, fast road-style e-bike or who regularly carry a bike upstairs will find it heavy. It is aimed at comfort and low maintenance, not speed.

About the Gazelle Ultimate C380 Plus E-Bike

The Gazelle Ultimate C380+ is the ultimate electric bike to take on any task, errand, or adventure. Equal parts sporty urban bike and comfortable touring bike, and powered by Bosch’s formidable Performance Line Speed motor, this Gazelle goes the distance. The exquisitely formed frame, elegant lines, and integrated battery offer a sleek look and capable handling. Spec’d with the Enviolo 380 trekking internal gear hub, the stepless shifting creates an easy-riding experience in any condition. The Gates belt drive is whisper-quiet, and multiple comfort features ensure an exceptional ride-feel.

FEATURES:

Motor: A mid-mounted Bosch Performance Line Speed motor providing up to 85 Nm of torque and integrated in-tube battery enable a low center of gravity and distinctly stable and pleasing ride feel, while showcasing a clean, graceful silhouette.

Battery: The Bosch PowerTube 500wh features its compact size and minimalist design. The sophisticated technology of the lithium-ion batteries that can be integrated within the frame ensures carefree riding enjoyment, while a safety catch prevents the battery from falling out even on challenging terrain. Nevertheless, the batteries can be removed with ease.

Display: Design meets functionality: Purion is the minimalist on-board computer for everyone wishing to have a neat look on the handlebar, be it for use in the city or the countryside. You get all important information conveniently at the touch of a button during the ride, with both hands remaining on the handlebar. Five different riding modes give you the correct support in every situation.
