Gazelle Ultimate C380
Nothing about this well-thought-out and well-equipped device appears or feels cheap. The down tube houses a sleek 500Wh battery, a ring lock on the back wheel, dependable hydraulic disc brakes, an adjustable dynamo-powered spotlight, and a taillight neatly fitted into the rear rack. Aside from appearances, a bike must also ride well, which the Gazelle Ultimate C380 does. The bike's low step-through frame is pleasantly stable and balanced, and its Bosch Performance Line 3.0 mid-drive engine quietly hums through paved and unpaved roads at up to 20 mph. The low-maintenance belt drive and Enviolo Trekking Manual stepless gear system will appeal to busy people, as it provides all the gearing needed for normal urban—and suburban—hills.
The C380 is a great choice for riders who want an upscale downtown e-bike—and who want to feel good about their investment. It has ergo leather grips, a mushy Selle Royal saddle, and a bit of suspension in the steerer tube and seatpost.
