If you are looking for the perfect e-bike and value high-quality workmanship, a powerful motor, alternative gears, a long range and a comfortable seating position, you could find what you are looking for with the traditional Dutch manufacturer Gazelle.
The brand new Eclipse looks almost as massive as the Tout Terrain Pamir, but is available significantly cheaper. Gazelle also offers the Eclipse in numerous expansion levels, including as a fast S-Pedelec. Customers can choose between an 11-speed derailleur from Shimano or a continuously variable gear from Enviolo. The latter is also available in combination with a strap instead of a chain.
There are also options for the solid aluminum frame. You can choose between a raised top tube (high-step) or a low-entry bike (low-step, aka women’s bike).
Introducing Gazelle Eclipse
In any case, the powerful Bosch Performance Line CX motor with a torque of 85 Newton meters ensures stress-free driving, even on hills. The system is combined with the kiosk handlebar unit, which can also display navigation data. When it comes to the battery, Gazelle also goes right to the top of the shelf, installing a 750 Wh battery, also from Bosch.
Depending on which support level you choose, a range of up to 180 kilometers should be possible. Until recently, this was the largest Bosch battery. But there is now a new, in-house range king with the PowerPack 800 Frame.
Also worth mentioning: The Gazelle bikes have a built-in, internet-capable GPS module that allows the Pedelec to be located remotely using the manufacturer’s own app. This service and theft insurance are included ex works for one year.
The touring e-bike’s additional features include LED lighting, mudguards, luggage rack, suspension fork, wide tires and hydraulic disc brakes.
