Gazelle Ultimate C380+ E-Bike Review: For those times when cars are terrible
TrailSport is coming soon). That said, there is also a charge point on the bike frame so you can keep the battery locked in place if you prefer.
While your left hand is tapping the electric assist + and – buttons on the LCD control pad, your right hand must deal with a very different type of bicycle control. The Ultimate G380+ does not have a traditional set of bicycle gears. Instead, it has an NuVinci Stepless Manual Trekking Groupset Continuously Variable Transmission. As the lengthy name suggests, it functions like a car’s CVT, albeit manually controlled.
The NuVinci hub allows for another novel element of the C380+: the Gates carbon belt drive, which takes the place of the typical chain. The belt consists of nylon teeth andcords, which means there’s no need to oil it, you don’t have to worry about dirt clogging it up, and well, it looks a lot cooler.
The tires mounted to the Ultimate C380+ aren’t skinny road bike tires, but they’re definitely meant for pavement. There were a few less-than-confident moments when I ventured onto some dirt paths as well as some paved paths blanketed in pine needles. I wouldn’t say no to a toothierbike tire. I also wouldn’t mind a more padded seat, but that speaks more to my personal preferences.
The C380+ you see here features the high-step frame in the bigger of two sizes , but there is also a mid-step available in an additional smaller size. All other Gazelle Ultimate models offer a low-step option, but they also either have a chain and/or the lesser internal-to-headset suspension. All have less powerful motors, either with 65 or 75 watts. Prices within the Ultimate family range from $3,749 to $4,749.
