Since we started eBoom in 2016, we've been attending electric bike shows all over the US. In 2018 we discovered the Gazelle electric bike brand at an international show in Las Vegas. What a find! Seems like in 2016 we were running into many homemade ebikes from companies just getting started in the US. Some of these starter ebike brands road clunky and didn't provide much control. Then we road a Gazelle.
About Gazelle
Gazelles are made in the Netherlands by a company manufacturing bicycles for over 100 years. The Dutch love to ride bikes, and if you've ever visited the Netherlands you saw just how much. They have parking garages just for bikes because the Dutch ride them everywhere.
Because Gazelle has its own factory, they're able to take extra care in manufacturing, assembly and painting each ebike. This really shows when you ride a Gazelle. They're comfortable with high quality parts and technology using the Bosch ebike system. Gazelle ebikes feature low step-through frames to allow easy use by everyone, powerful and reliable mid-drive motors to get you to your destination and come complete with everything you need such as fenders, racks, lights, bells, locks, and kickstands.
Gazelle believes bikes should be a part of daily life and that everyone should be able to enjoy their ride. And we agree.

Gazelle FAQ
C - means continuous variable (or CVT). These bikes have a belt drive and a continuous variable hub. Internal gear hubs, also known as "hub gears", are an enclosed unit that provides multiple gears on a bicycle in the rear hub. They work on the principle of "planetary gearing". The basic 3-speed hubs have a single "sun" gear rigidly attached to the middle of the axle. Three or 4 identical "planet" gears mesh with and revolve around the "sun" gear. So, a C7 means a continuous variable hub with 7 gears and a belt drive instead of a chain.
C380 - This is the Enviolo 380 Trekking hub. The 380% ration range allows rides in any type of environment. Stepless shifting enables a continuous motion between the gear ratios allowing you to cycle at your exact desired cadence. Switching gears is a thing of the past with Enviolo.
