Gazelle Expands Ultimate Lineup with Exciting Class 1 Electric Bikes for Every Cyclist

Gazelle Expands Its Range with New Class 1 Electric Bike Models

For over a century, Gazelle has been committed to the philosophy that when bikes feel just right, people are more inclined to ride. This principle is at the heart of their latest announcement: the introduction of three new Class 1 electric bike models - the Ultimate T10, Ultimate C5, and Ultimate C380. These additions significantly broaden the Ultimate platform, providing options for a wider array of cycling preferences and budget ranges.

Mark Danhof, General Manager of Gazelle North America, expressed enthusiasm about the new models, stating, "The Ultimate series is defined by a sense of adventure and freedom, and these new additions will enable a larger audience to experience sporty performance they can enjoy. The Ultimate Speed models cater to those in search of speed and efficient commuting, while the new Class 1 models are designed for leisure and recreation, delivering a natural, pedal-assist experience."
