Why We Like The Ultimate C8 e-Bike
With 129 years of production under their belt, Gazelle designs the Ultimate C8 e-Bike with two features in mind: Comfortability and speed. This is a bike that's sporty and fun, but also comfortable enough to make us want to zoom around all day. Confidence-boosting stability comes from a low center of gravity, frame stiffness, and a relaxed, upright posture, which makes this bike ideal for riders of all abilities. We like it for a quick commute to work, for running errands, and for having fun on our local bike paths.
The Ultimate C8 is a comfortable ride that packs a punch of power from its Bosch Active Line Plus 3.0 drive system. This engine offers a maximum range of 70 miles and a maximum speed of 20 miles per hour. Its 8-speed Shimano Nexus gear system and a Gates belt drive make for smooth and quiet shifting, along with excellent durability and low maintenance. And, when we feel like we've picked up the pace a bit too much, disc brakes provide capable stopping power and confidence. Wide, puncture-resistant tires enhance our ride quality, and that works in turn with a suspension seat post and headset. Leather ergonomic grips make for comfortable riding, and a graceful step-through frame improves stability and accessibility.
*Due to unprecedented demand in the global supply chain and the bike industry over the last 18 months, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be minor. If you have any questions, reach out to a Gearhead by chatting online or calling 1-888-276-7130.

I am absolutely in LOVE with this bike! I bought it with the hopes of replacing all of my in town car trips with e-bike trips and so far it has been marvelous. I live downtown in my city and I find it easier and faster than taking a car most places because parking is much easier. I am currently in the process of ordering a lock from the Netherlands that is compatible with the integrated wheel lock for even easier parking. How's the ride? Marvelous! It has a very smooth, natural pedal assist to get you up to speed. It is so much better than some cheaper e-bikes I've demo that have a very jerky pedal assist. I couldn't say for sure if only having pedal assist as opposed to a combo of a throttle/pedal assist is my preference as this is my first e-bike and I certainly don't mind the light pedal required for the power to kick in. Security: I don't believe it's mentioned on the tech specs but the rear wheel has a built in rear lock. You can purchase a compatible chain lock from Axa that plugs in to the integrated lock for added security. I ended up purchasing mine on Amazon UK since they don't seem to be available in the US at the time of writing this review. Sizing: I am 5'6 with a long inseam for my height. I purchased the 53cm size and I have the seat almost as low as it can go and it is a great ride! I do think i could have gotten the 46cm but wanted to be able to share the bike with my partner who is 5'11 and on the end of the size chart for the 53cm.
