Gazelle launched a new range of four unique e-bikes for mid-2023. This e-bike range includes the 'Avignon C380 HMB,' the 'Ultimate C380,' the 'Arroyo C5,' and the 'Ultimate T10.' These bikes are comparable in terms of internal specifications and design, with a subtle set of differences between them. For example, the Ultimate T10 features a step-over frame while the other three feature a step-thru frame.
Aside from this, the models differ in terms of handlebar style, wheel style, cargo capacity, and overall size. However, the drivetraine, motor, battery, and controller are all the same through these four models. This means each model comes with a premium Bosch mid-drive motor that outputs 65 Nm of torque, and an integrated lithium ion battery. The company does not make explicit range claims for these bikes as the range can differ greatly based on riding mode and riding conditions.
