Gazelle (given the title Royal Dutch Gazelle by Princess Margriet in 1992) is the renowned leader in Dutch bike manufacturing since 1892. Their factory in Dieren produces over 250,000 bikes a year. From their conception to the present day, they've focused on making comfortable, safe, and stylish bikes that can be depended on daily. Furthermore, Gazelle is a forerunner in the eBike industry, early on having researched and developed the integration of this new technology with the classic, daily-riding bicycles for which they've been known for over 120 years. The result: Gazelle has a catalog of pedal assist electric bicycles that is incomparable.

The Gazelle Arroyo is a comfortable and practical urban e-bike with a sleek, timeless aesthetic. The Arroyo features an upright riding posture typical of Dutch city bikes, which provides a relaxed riding experience with a wide-angle view of your surroundings. And with a step-thru frame design, the bike is easy to mount and dismount for almost all riders. The Arroyo is full of features perfect for practical and safe city riding: front and rear fenders, a rear rack for cargo, and bright front and rear lights powered by the bike’s battery. And with a touch of front suspension, the Arroyo ensures a soft ride on rougher streets.

The C8 Elite’s drivetrain features a Shimano Nexus 8-speed internal gear hub paired with a sturdy KMC chain. The Nexus hub is a reliable, low-maintenance system with plenty of gear to get you around town. Meanwhile, powerful Tektro disc brakes keep you safe and in control in all conditions and terrain.

The Arroyo’s electric assist comes from a Bosch Active Line Plus motor featuring 50Nm of torque and a Bosch lithium-ion battery holding 540 Wh, with pedal assist up to 20 mph. Your motor is easily controlled with Bosch’s Smart System technology. The Smart System, with the help of Bosch's eBike Flow app, allows you to customize your Arroyo to your specific preferences, electronically lock your bike, and keep up with software updates. With the addition of  optional hardware and a subscription service, you can track your bike via GPS. And on the Purion 200 handlebar display, you can easily track your assist mode, speed, distance, and battery life. 

All of this is to say: for comfortable, stylish, and fun city riding, the Arroyo Elite C380 can’t be beat.
