Since 1892, Gazelle has been designing and building bikes in the Netherlands. These days, the brand is one of the largest e-bike manufacturers in the world, known mostly for its quality, Dutch-style electric bikes. Today, Gazelle launches two reimagined models in its Ultimate platform, pushing Class 3 speeds for the North American market. The new Ultimate C380+ 2.0 and Ultimate T11+ boast a 28 mph top speed, combined with the performance, stability, and comfort Gazelle bikes are known for.<\/p>\n

“With the new Ultimate platform, we wanted to prove that speed performance doesn\u2019t need to come at the expense of comfort and control<\/em>,” said Mark Danhof, General Manager of Gazelle North America. “While lower-cost alternatives focus on upfront price, we focused on what matters over time: trusted Bosch systems, premium components, and long-term durability. Our goal was to design a bike built for control at speed, not just speed itself.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

According to Gazelle, the new Ultimate models combine Dutch soul with American speed. With these new bikes, riders in North America have the option to ride at Class 3 speeds up to 28 mph. That\u2019s powered by the latest Bosch Performance Line Sport mid-drive motor, which delivers up to 85 Nm and 600 watts of commute-crushing torque \u2014 upgradable to 90 Nm and 700 watts through the Flow app \u2014 with four assist levels to choose from.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gazelle didn\u2019t specify the battery capacity in its press materials, but it\u2019s reasonable to assume that its ~500Wh, given the available sizes of Bosch\u2019s PowerTube batteries. According to the brand, it\u2019s also compatible with the Bosch PowerMore 250 range extender to help reduce range anxiety or go for longer rides. The batteries are removable for security and charging off the bike.<\/p>\n
