Gazelle In The News

The Gazelle Arroyo C8 HMB Elite is best for riders looking for a sleek, comfortable, Dutch-style e-bike with a reliable motor, and lots of adjustability and comfort features.

The Arroyo line of electric bicycles, which includes the Arroyo C7 and Arroyo C8, is a comfort e-bike line that likely aligns with the image in your head of a typical Dutch bike.

Gazelle Bikes today announces the relaunch of its iconic Arroyo family of leisure/lifestyle ebikes in the North American market, with new iterations of the pedal-assist bikes now shipping to the Dutch brand’s network of retailers here.

A premium ride experience at a more affordable price. “Premium” is certainly an apt descriptor for our experience riding the 125-year-old Dutch bike maker’s electrics, consistently wowing us with the ride quality and drop-dead good looks that make their prices seem not at all like an overreach.

The Gazelle Ultimate C380+ is possibly the ultimate commuter e-bike that will have you effortlessly zipping along at up to 28mph. Great accessories and smooth motor assist make getting around town an absolute breeze. 

"This bike has a huge list of features that differentiate it from typical hybrid commuter e-bikes...The cargo light is integrated within the rear rack. I love how clean this looks." - CNET

“Gazelle thinks about all the little details, so the fenders provide full coverage (so you don’t get wet feet from tire spray on a wet day); there’s both a front and rear light; and even a bell. Broad gearing ensures that you can climb any apex and won’t be spun out over 30mph, bombing down a hill." 

“The Ultimate C380 embraces what it is. If you want to pedal from A to B in comfort, ease, and—I dare say—style, this is one of the best all-around ebikes I’ve tried..."

“In April, I bought a CityZen T9, an e-bike from Gazelle, a 128-year-old Dutch firm that’s a household name in its home market. Over the rest of 2020, rather than devolve further into couch potatohood, I’ve done more than 1,800 miles of e-biking..." 

“The Ultimate T10+ from Gazelle ticked every box about what we want from a commuter ebike: quick acceleration and high top assist speed..."

“Gazelle absolutely nailed ride comfort and stability here. I immediately felt at home aboard the Ultimate C380, whether cruising long bike paths or..." 

“We covered the release of the Medeo T10+ a couple of weeks ago, and it caught our attention for two reasons: 1) We had an absolute blast testing the Gazelle Ultimate T10+..."

“But what I’ll probably miss most is the reliability, range, and sheer hill-chomping torque of the Bosch Performance line Speed system. The T10+ is a truly great commuter."

“Right off the bat, the build quality, the thought, the design, and components on the bike make it clear the Gazelle Ultimate T10+ is a premium bike...”

“It’s a sturdy, well-constructed, rattle-free, reliable bike that feels solid on the road, lets you ride no-handed with confidence, takes corners like a champ, and flies through tight spaces without slowing down.”

“Some bikes stir your heart from the first blush. Just pure eye candy. That’s what I felt after unboxing and assembling the Gazelle Ultimate T10+...”

“Whether it's the coronavirus crisis or the climate crisis, e-bikes can be part of the solution. We have been saying for some time that e-bikes will eat cars, that cargo e-bikes will eat SUVs...”

“Gazelle doesn’t just make Dutch-style e-bikes, they make actual Dutch e-bikes. As in, they’re built in Holland. And the company’s latest release...”

“Arrive at work in record time on the sleek CityZen, a relatively sleek e-bike that boasts everything you need and nothing you don’t. Creature comforts include: a front shock, 10-speed Shimano gears and hydraulic disc brakes for responsive stopping...”

“Most gadgets claim to improve your life. Most fail. A new laptop or fancy phone might be fun, but life-changing? Not really. Gazelle’s Ultimate T10 is a different story. This can legitimately make your life better.“

“Most electric bikes look a mess, but not the Gazelle Ultimate T10. It’s a stunner, and the best commuter bike I’ve seen yet. Available in white or red, the Ultimate T10 ebike takes an unexpected road towards beauty."

“It changes everything – how you think about bikes and how you think about cars. I often paraphrase analyst Horace Dediu and say, "E-bikes will eat cars." I have now been riding a Gazelle Medeo e-bike for six months and can report that it's true; it ate my car”

“Best for Cruising: Arrive at work in record time on the sleek CityZen. It has all the creature comforts: a front shock, 10-speed Shimano gears and hydraulic disc brakes for responsive stopping.”

“Since 1953, the IF Design Awards have been given out on an annual basis in an effort to shine a spotlight on amazing breakthroughs in industrial design...This year, one of those winners is a new ebike from Gazelle that took home an award for its outstanding performance.”
