Thanks for this. I have my tannus on order. I found that if I just drop the rear wheel axle / wheel I can push a new tube past the brake-disc. So I do not have to adjust gears or take off the belt/chain. Just push them straight back in.
with the axa-lock I got the pin-lock as well. Which is very useful for just attaching the bike to an object. Much safer for shopping. For more long term parking I add a sold-secure-gold lock to the front wheel
Such a great review especially from a user perspective. Thank you. We have settled on this c380 after extensively looking at ebikes. We went to our local store in Columbus Ohio to actually test ride a gocycle but then stumbled onto the gazelle bikes on display and we were very impressed with the overall build quality. But too bad supply is so short …we are on a waitlist for couple of bikes :(
@@venunarla Yeah, tell me about it... According to Gazelle's website the bike I want is not at any dealer within 250 miles of Columbus. How long did you have to wait for your bikes? I want to move back down near Grandview/Marble Cliff and start biking the Olentangy Trail, gas prices are insane and my car barely cracks 20 MPG in-town. 🥲
I picked up my Ultimate C380 this week from Chris Senior & Avery in Wilmington. What a great experience & I love the bike! Bonus was meeting "Cookie," Avery's sweet little dog. Fun!
Beautiful bicycle. Belt is great, like the monoshock in front. The great Performance line motor! I love the low step model. Battery in the frame, nice. Personally I will not go for the Enviolo, but that is different for other people. Same price as in The Netherlands, you can already buy them for 3599 euro. With Intuvia display. But you see them also a little higher price. Sometimes you will get a better service in the future. No straps on the luggage rack standard, you have to buy them yourself. That is not Dutch, a bicycle without straps is like a bike without the lock on the rear wheel. These things are 99% standard. I like to look at this bike, it is so beautiful to see. Simple, nice in this color. Good vlog again Chris! Loire by the way is a France word. There is a river in France with the same name. Also an area is called Vallee de la Loire. Very nice there. Leware with a long low aaa, not easy to wright down how to say a name. 😉
@@dewit7 Het schijnt te kunnen, maar ik zou dat zelf nooit doen. Je moet de motor in, als je veel harder gaat rijden en je krijgt een ongeluk, kan dat ernstige gevolgen hebben. Mijn motor gaat zo'n beetje tot 26 km/u. Heuveltje af of wind in de rug kan het nog veel sneller, maar geen ondersteuning meer.
I really enjoy my Gazelle Medro 9 E-Bike. Needs very little maintenance and shifts quickly and smoothly. City driving and engaging all kinds of terrains is not an issue.❤️👍
Just bought the Gen. 4 Bosch model with smart system of this bike . I am Loving it. I chose this model because it could include the connect module for e-alarm and GPS. They have upgraded the fork and also moved the light lower down and give you a Kiox 300 display unit, instead of the Purian. However they have changed the saddle seat post to a fixed one.
@@cadriver2570 It's physically connected to the motor. You then connect to the module via the Flow app. If your e-bike is moved it will sound the e-alarm on your bike and tracker on your app to alert you.
@@badabing8884 do you find that it works well? I am concerned about false alarms (e.g. leaving the bike locked outside next to lots of people at a restaurant)
@@cadriver2570so far so good. Only get false alarms when I am moving the bike into my shed (without the battery), but can just press the false alarm option on the app.
Great! Really fun drivetrain to experience. More than you’d think if your into the changing of indexes but simple enough to operate so it doesn’t have the struggles of changing gearing. Also, @Propel Electric Bikes, your videos are beautiful! I’m a subscriber from when you first started to upload videos and the quality since day one has and always will impress me
I'm on the list for a build and delivery of this exact bike with the Enviolo Hub. Question: Was there a feeling of additional drag while riding with this hub? Did this hub rob you of a true "bike ride" feel when not engaging motor assist? Thank you
@@kippywylie there isn’t much drag per-say, but there is some minor extra weight since there are oils and mechanisms in the hub that would otherwise not be there in a derailleur. Plus, there are a abilities for higher angled ratios in derailleurs, so it depends on your preferred solution when riding a bike. Whether you want a more cruising gearing system or a lightweight rocketship-style bike or more for city commuting etc
My Dad, who is 78, was looking at the Medeo T10 HMB, and I tried the C8. He was resistant to trying a step-through ("girl's bike" prejudice) and was suspicious of the internally geared hub and belt drive (despite owning how may motorcycles with belt drives?). He ended up not being as satisfied with the T10 as he thought he would be, so we went out the next day to test the C380. The shop only had one in stock so he rode that and I took out the Bulls La Cuba EVO 10 (which I loved). He ended up loving the step-through AND the internal hub, and was utterly impressed by the bike. I think he'll be buying it very soon.
Wow! So glad I read this..... I'm basically your dad 😁 The "girly" thing is what I've thought a bit about since getting on the waiting list last week. I'm 72 years old and it's great to find you father liking this bike.
People who call it a girl's bike, are very misinformed. I'll be 75 this year, and what a pleasure to get on and off of it. I bought mine this week, but have to wait a week or two for it to arrive at the dealers. Loved the test drive!
@@douglassnyder9110 It's an old fashioned prejudice, for sure. He loved the C380 and then another step-through he tried recently. He figures could go with a mixte frame, but is sold on step-through frames now.
17:47 it's never a good idea to completely drain the battery, sometimes cells inside the battery don't recover from a complete power depletion depending on the age, wear and manufacturer of the cells.
I just bought the updated 2022 c380, this one comes with Suntour front suspension, intuvia interface, larger belt fender and Ergon gp1 grips. No longer a suspension seat post, maybe I'll add a Kinect bodyfloat... Unfortunately no update to fit a 625 wH or 750 wH battery, a bit of a missed opportunity but still an amazingly reliable e-bike compared to other ones at the same price-point.
How's your first few days going? I just ordered this bike for a delivery in the spring so I still have some time to adjust my order. Gazelle Ultimate C380 Low step 2022 53cm Mallard blue matte is my order from Fly Rides San Diego. It will have the Enviolo Hub, with a Bosch Class #1 motor. Not sure how to upgrade the front fork suspension or if that's needed? Also looking at a better seat post suspension after watching reviews stating this one is sticky
@@kippywylie the Mallard blue is the 2021 model as shown in the video. The best suspension seatpost money can buy is the Kinekt (bodyfloat) I don't know if the front suspension can be upgraded since it has a monoshock system, I don't know if that requires a different head tube... You should ask the shop you ordered it from. The 2022 model comes with a SR Suntour nex e25 fork, rigid seatpost and only one colour: twilight teal matte (gray-green) I'm waiting on delivery, it should be with me end of February.
@@patriciavigder6477 i don't know what limestone trail is, Gazelle products are made for city asphalt and micro gravel paths commuting.

Unless you're using the bike in ways it was not intended to be used for...
Thank you Chris, another great review. I have put a deposit on a C380 and I'm really keen to get out on it. I have thoroughly appreciated watching your reviews of various e-bikes which have taken my interest - thanks, you've helped me a lot through this process. Victor
Did you receive your Gazelle yet? I've placed an order deposit with Fly Rides in So Cal for this bkke and an April '22 build. I'm excited and this review video just increases my excitement
@@kippywylie Hi. Yep, had my Gazelle since April 2021 and I really love it. I haven't missed my car at all. I did buy a Cane Creek 'Thudbuster', as there's no rear suspension, which has made riding even more comfortable. Fantastic bike. Good luck with yours.
I got the Enviolo hub meaning continuously variable gear ratio. I got the Enviolo manual hub. But if I'd waited the year I could have gotten the Enviolo automatic hub, meaning as I'd approach a stop sign, it would downscale the gear ratio. That and vice versa.
Thanks Chris. Great Intro to this bike. Great Bike! When can we expect to see these upgraded features (Enviolo, seat shocks and fork shocks) in a speed pedelec ie class 3, 28mph Bosche with 85Nm torque? Thinking of getting something like a t10+, should I postpone my purchase?
Enviolo gear has more drag than other gear systems. Bosch motor has drag also. And of course it's a heavy bike. So don't expect to use it as a non-electric bike often.
O.K., it would appear either NYC, it being your current location, has changed out of all recognition since I was there, or this is a video you had in the can. I suppose climate change could account for the palm trees, but nothing short of God's holy rain could account for the lack of NYC crusty grime. So I'm going with the latter, posted to keep us happy whilst you frequent all of the city's fleshpots you can find. Anyway, putting my envy to one side, would you please convey my complements to the camera operator. The quality of their work is nothing short of sublime; a veritable feast to the eye. Regarding the Gazelle, it is undoubtedly a very well made piece of kit, and half the price of a R&M Homage. However, to my way of thinking, the Homage possesses sufficient advantages - e.g. more powerful motor, larger batteries, Rohloff hub - to justify its much higher price, and is, therefore, still my dream bike. Having said that, if someone was to gift me a Gazelle, I wouldn't refuse it. Hope you're having a great time in NYC.
Love this! I had this one and our most recent video in the hopper. Excited to share some of the NYC stuff soon though. It’s been a lot of fun so far. I miss NY. The energy of this city affects my soul on a level that I have never experienced anywhere else in the world. I will be back again soon for sure.
This will sound silly to ask, but what are those ankle boots that so many riders in the videos are wearing? They look so comfortable and I can't find anything like them in a search. Please?
How's the range of gear ratios on the Enviolo? I have an N380 on my R&M Charger and it's really lacking on the high-end. I'd have to pedal at 150 RPM to high 28 MPH.
Unless you’re into racing (including against yourself) why would anyone NOT prefer a belt? : The other Bosch if I recall has more torque. 65nm’s is a bit low for a $4k bike.
Great review. So here is an obvious commuter bike with skinny tires and it is only a class 1 up to 20 mph assist ? What a waste. I would be interested to know if there is an Enviolo that is suited for a class 3 bike with 28 mph? The Speciallized Vado 3 I test rode had a Envielo and it ran out of gearing right around 20 mph as well. And they tuned down the Bosch motor to match which is capable of putting out 86 nm. Disappointing imo.
Hi there, really good review. I'm based in UK and doing lots of research to buy my first hybrid ebike. So many manufacturers out there difficult to know which one to chose. This bike looks really good, how would you compare it to the Moustache Samedi 27 Open Xroad 3?
Purion display on such an expensive bike? Also, what if you want to leave your bike outside, but also charge the battery? The frame is left open like that, rain will certainly damage the electrical parts.
Although many aren’t true flatfoot like Electra, several have a similar design. Benno is actually the founder of Electra and his eJoy model has a similar design. I would also encourage you to consider a bike like a Gazelle or a R&M Nevo with a dropper seatpost
Sorry for asking , is this bike is motorised So that I dont need to do the pedalling, cuz I have a broken leg🥲 I need this kind of assistance, cuz I didn’t see the throttle , and thank you so much for your review I fell in love with this bike and the company.

Dieren. (Netherlands)
Here is what the 380 stands for. In the highest gear he will go 3.8 times as far as he will go in the lowest gear. That is 380%
Ok but looking for a Class 3 more for town or road.
Cool! My preference is generally Class 3, but Class 1 is great for many applications as well.
I wished it had a front basket.
