Which model do you have and how long have you had it?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazellebikes.com\/en-us\/gazelle-ultimate-c380plus-hmb#pim_itemcolorcodeonergb=128%2C137%2C145&amp;pim_itemgenderframe=Mid-step\" class=\"rank-math-link\" rel=\"noopener\">Ultimate C380+<\/a> that I\u2019ve owned for 4 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How has owning a Gazelle changed the way you live?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, I have been a car guy. I drove to work all the time. Since I got my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazellebikes.com\/en-us\/electric-commuter-bikes\" class=\"rank-math-link\" rel=\"noopener\">commuter ebike<\/a>, I\u2019ve been contributing significantly less to the mileage on my car. Instead, the miles on my ebike have increased much more quickly! Additionally, I reduced the cost of my commute since I no longer have the cost of gas and parking that came along with driving my car to work. Now that I have my C380+ for my work commute, I just need to plug in the Bosch battery at night and ride it in the morning, without any worries about delays on my commute since I have confidence in my Gazelle. Gazelle uses the best components on the market to make bikes that are a joy to ride. My previous fear of hills is gone thanks to the C380+\u2019s additional power over my previous bike, large stepless shifting range, and smooth belt drive. I no longer worry about where I go, since I know the C380+ is up for the challenge. My only worry is where I park since the beauty and classy looks of my C380+ attract a lot of attention, so I never let it out of my sight. I was never focused on a bike before owning a Gazelle ebike. Since getting my Gazelle, the ebike brings out the best in me as I capture memorable scenes in San Francisco with my camera to share with my Gazelle family online.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1284\" height=\"963\" src=\"https:\/\/gazelle-blog.pondigital.solutions\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/7E0B4D9E-03A7-4E0A-9BD5-317119E17357-Marnie-Pira-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cloudinary.pondigital.solutions\/pon-digital-solutions\/image\/upload\/gazelle-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/7E0B4D9E-03A7-4E0A-9BD5-317119E17357-Marnie-Pira-edited.jpeg 1284w, https:\/\/cloudinary.pondigital.solutions\/pon-digital-solutions\/image\/upload\/gazelle-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/7E0B4D9E-03A7-4E0A-9BD5-317119E17357-Marnie-Pira-edited-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cloudinary.pondigital.solutions\/pon-digital-solutions\/image\/upload\/gazelle-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/7E0B4D9E-03A7-4E0A-9BD5-317119E17357-Marnie-Pira-edited-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cloudinary.pondigital.solutions\/pon-digital-solutions\/image\/upload\/gazelle-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/7E0B4D9E-03A7-4E0A-9BD5-317119E17357-Marnie-Pira-edited-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1284px) 100vw, 1284px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long have you been riding and is this your first ebike?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been riding a bike for almost 10 years, this is my 3rd Gazelle ebike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/gazelle-blog.pondigital.solutions\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/247833624_10159441845940631_8102571063482075615_n.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cloudinary.pondigital.solutions\/pon-digital-solutions\/image\/upload\/gazelle-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/247833624_10159441845940631_8102571063482075615_n.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/cloudinary.pondigital.solutions\/pon-digital-solutions\/image\/upload\/gazelle-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/247833624_10159441845940631_8102571063482075615_n-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cloudinary.pondigital.solutions\/pon-digital-solutions\/image\/upload\/gazelle-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/247833624_10159441845940631_8102571063482075615_n-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do you use your Gazelle&#8211;for commuting, errands, fitness, fun&#8211;or all of the above?
