Hi! A Bloom C5 HMS with a Shimano Nexus Inter 5e hub-gear (up to 85 Nm) plus 75 Nm Bosch Performance Line Smart System would be great for 2025. I hesitate to buy the current Bloom C7 HMS because it has the uncommon Shimano motor and battery, where the avialability of spare parts is uncertain in the future. You also cannot tailor your motor power by an app because the Shimano 5000 series do not support that. Customisation of the motor power is essential when you use 5 speed gear only (And the Bosch Smart System can do that). With the 75 or 85 Nm motor it will be more suitable for mountaineous (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) areas as well. I really like the design of Gazelle bikes and hope that you will make adjustments for the year 2025 or 2026. And if you go for an intube battery in the future, please make sure that the battery cover is bolted to the battery. For users, which need to take the battery out regularly in order to charge the battery in a apartment, it is much more comfortable if the battery can be taken out with one manipulation only. I personally prefer the simplicity of the current on tube setup. And please offer the size 64 cm as well. The low step frame is comfortable for men as well - especially if you carry heavy loads. (I dont like the design of the heavydutyNL and need a frame size of 63 or 64) I hope this information gets to the product manager. Thank you Current low step bikes with a maximum total weight of 170kg and Bosch 75/85 Nm + Shimano Inter 5e combinations (but without the nice Gazelle design and upright cycling layout) : www.kalkhoff-bikes.com/de_de/image-1-xxl www.hercules-bikes.de/de-de/produkt/hercules-robert-a-hd-i-f5-2024-zentralrohr?FARB=FARB_GFDHAW2H&AKLW=AKLW_75e54221&RHOE=RHOE_45 www.diamantrad.com/at/bike/beryll-160-tie/ www.winora.com/at-de/p/yakun-r5-pro-wian1/?COLORCOM=ice&HEIGHT=60%20cm&UB-FRAMEKI=Low www.ktm-bikes.at/de/e-bikes/detail/macina-city-610-xl-machine-grey-matt-silver-orange-sh-nexus-5-bosch-pt-cx6i4-2023

Hi. Thank you for your feedback on our bikes. The Bloom C7 HMS has a E5000 Shimano motor. The power of this engine is 40 Nm. This is suited for city rides but not for hilly environments. What our collection of 2025 will be presented upcoming September. Regards, Joris
