Belt Drive eBikes
Don't feel like getting your hands dirty with chain maintenance? Then you should consider buying an e-bike with a belt drive from Gazelle. This drive train option boasts a long lifespan and low maintenance requirements. Additionally, your e-bike with a belt drive is pleasantly silent, allowing you to enjoy the sounds of nature throughout your ride.
Why buy an ebike with a belt drive?
If you value the following features, then belt drive is the perfect choice for your e-bike.
Durability: This robust drive system is long-lasting since the toothed belts are professionally mounted and made of sturdy material. Therefore, the belt drive is also suitable for frequent riders since it can withstand about 30,000 kilometres without damage.
Low Maintenance: Regular oiling and cleaning, like with a regular bike chain, are unnecessary. Even winter road salt can hardly damage the belt. Another advantage: carbon fibres are used in the belt drive, so the belt won't stretch over time.
Quiet: Your riding experience is serene and silent with this type of drive train. In contrast to a chain, there is no clicking or ticking with the belt drive.
