Gazelle NL C7 HMB Review - 3k

[@JaimeGlasser]

I just bought one of these used for a really reasonable low price. I love it! If I had the $$$ this is what I would have bought! So thrilled to find it 4 yr old and only 200 miles. It needed a little work (brakes bled, no idea they were hydraulic!) but well worth it. I have been a life long bike commuter/racer/enthusiast spending so much energy on making my bikes lighter…this 60 pounder sure takes getting used to but so impressed with it! At Eco setting having not been used to anything but my own leg assist it’s amazing! So far it says I have 90 more miles range after 20 mi on the first charge.,.we will see ! I am sure it’s more like 50-60 miles. I love it!

Gazelle is a very well established make in the Netherlands. I live in Brighton in England which is not far from the Netherlands and we have quite a lot of the Gazelle bicycles here. These bikes are all about practicality. They are purchased by all kinds of people who don't have any particular interest in bicycles or ebikes, they just want cheap transport.

excellent product for anyone.

[@joeblogs4246]

that front carrier should be attached to the frame that design will reduce handling when loaded

[@crannaford]

Joe Blogs Couldn't agree more! My Walleräng has a frame mounted front carrier and it's the way to go.

Those comments are among the most unqualified I've read in a while. Thanks for another great review, Court! Love the ergonomics of it, but the rest left me rather unimpressed. The HS-11 Maguras are their entry-level line and at that price point you'd expect the HS-22 at least. Also: no suspension = no deal. I'd love to see a bike with a slightly elevated step-through frame, 27.5+ mountain bike tires and front fork, the CX engine, hub dynamo, integrated fenders and lighting and the perfectly upright granny-sissy seating position. Much akin to a SUV but in form of an e-bike. Maybe one day....

I think we'll be seeing something like you described soon. There are some similar bikes, but none that have all of those spec's at the moment. Maybe you should take a look at the Riese & Müller Charger Mixtie GT. You could easily swap those tires for more mountain bike style if you'd like. The fenders have the clearance for them and the rims are 40mm wide. I hope that helps.

[@novacolonel5287]

Thanks a lot for this very qualified reply, ignoring the R&M lineup is hard if one is looking for something as versatile as I had in mind. Unfortunately, my modest means prohibit me from acquring something that's worth twice the mortgage on the house I don't have. If that's how a mortgage works. Hell, I'm european, how would I know. Then there's the Conway EMC 427 with a way more reasonable pricetag. It checks all the boxes, but does so somewhat loveless. www.zweiradnetz.de/raeder/elektroraeder/conway-emc-427-elektrorad-52-kaufen?gclid=CPrTxLe_kNMCFYgW0wodwEsKDw Also there's the Moustache Samedi which I'd totally go for if it hadn't a SRAM derailleur set. www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/Moustache-Electric-Bikes/Moustache-Samedi-X-Road-3-2017

[@IronMongoose1]

It's a really good-looking bike.

[@soulfunkjazz]

The performance on a hill would be interesting as well.

[@mjt172]

how do you adjust the handlebar height on this bike? I assume the angle of the handlebars is with that button but what if you need to lower or raise the handlebars? is it the old quill style?

[@fmc6338]

Looking for a gift for my wife, I think this might be the one.

[@jmarshall228]

I LOVE my Gazelle Arroyo. So comfortable, solid build. Have many, many maintenance free miles on her!

[@JT-pt9tt]

Gazelle bikes come in different sizes, which is why they don't need to have long seat posts.

[@enquire422]

Will fit very well in Oxford, but any where else 😞

[@Joanna-girl]

does this bike have coaster brakes?

[@Rideoak]

The Front- Carriers weight is 3,5 kg!!!... if it`s made of Steel. Somer Versions are made of Aluminum. But you "feel" it every Time...

[@gctw2341]

Slight engine noise only at turbo mode otherwise, quiet. It's sort of utilitarian and practical-ish in design but the price-point...

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Good point about the quieter motor operation... that seems a little rare

[@Chrisb8s]

Close to legoland :)

[@ElectricBikeReview]

I love Legoland XD

[@JayHacker]

If you've been to the Netherlands you'll know those racks are meant for carrying people!

[@gctw2341]

hmmm...really?

[@ElectricBikeReview]

...drunk people?!

[@amandamarron2777]

Normally, yes, but on the ebikes they aren't rated to carry as much.

[@annagilda1]

For sure! Gers Pardoel wrote a whole song about it. 😁

[@georgeherman8826]

It looks kind of nerdy. I just could not make myself spend over 3 grand for something like that. No way.

[@frankyalvarez7160]

Buy a stealth bomber b-52 I have on and I bought it for 2,000$ the top speed is 87 which my rack loaded and gear and everything on

[@ChaChaSlide_69]

George Herman Practical and sexy rarely go hand in hand. And this is crazy practical.

[@georgeherman8826]

And crazy expensive.

[@georgeherman8826]

Your most welcome.

[@ChaChaSlide_69]

George Herman yeah. the price does sting a bit. can't fault that assessment.

[@ab7988]

Stepptrough is a ladies bike for the ones who didnt knew that

[@fbyi2940]

It was rule made by pervert man to see ladies pantsu i heard

[@pabloramirez4690]

i need one those because i disabled and is there anyone out there who have a kind heart to give me one of those?

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Hi Pablo, what part of the world do you live in? Do you have any money that could be saved or dedicated towards an electric bike? Maybe I could help you find one that fits your budget. For example, Juiced Bikes just launched the CrossCurrent Air which comes in a mid-step frame and is in the $1k price range: electricbikereview.com/juiced-bikes/crosscurrent-air/

[@pabloramirez4690]

ElectricBikeReview.com My problem is i don't have money to buy one that is why i am asking for charity.I am from the Philippines.

[@BrookNeese]

Ah. Helmet + ladies bike. Xdd

[@zenobester2788]

Step through is not only for ladies, but for anyone with a child seat back of the bike
