Stepless City Commuter, Built for Low-Maintenance Riding
The Gazelle Ultimate C380 is built for riders who want zero-maintenance drivetrain performance without stepping into high-speed Class 3 territory. It uses the Enviolo 380 stepless CVT hub, which means you don’t “shift gears” — you simply twist and the resistance changes smoothly, without clicks or indexing. Pair that with a Gates carbon belt drive, and you get a drivetrain that doesn’t require lubrication, tuning, or cleaning like a derailleur system.
Power comes from the Bosch Performance Line motor (non-Speed, Class 1), delivering controlled assist up to 20 mph — ideal for urban pacing and regulated bike lane riding. The frame keeps Gazelle’s signature Dutch posture and low step-through geometry, making it easy to mount, even when loaded with gear or wearing everyday clothes.
This is the Gazelle for riders who prioritize comfort, quiet running, and clean operation over high-speed power. This bike feels like a silent transport appliance.

Bike Sizing, Simplified
Gazelle bikes don’t come in a dozen frame sizes like racing bikes — and that’s on purpose. Their upright, comfortable design and step-through frames let each size fit a wide range of riders. A more relaxed seat tube angle and higher handlebars mean that when you raise or lower the saddle, your leg reach and distance to the bars adjust naturally. In other words, one frame can fit people who are several inches apart in height. When choosing your Gazelle, the right size depends mostly on your height and preferred riding posture, not on fine-tuned racing measurements. Use the chart below to find your size — we’ll set up the saddle and handlebars so it feels perfect for you.
| Rider Height | Frame Size | Frame Label |
|---|---|---|
| 4'9"–5'2" | 40 | XS |
| 4'10"–5'6" | 45–46 | S |
| 5'6"–5'10" | 50–53 | M |
| 5'10"–6'3" | 55–57 | L |
If you’re between sizes, choose smaller for closer handlebars and larger for a bit more reach.
Fine-tune at pickup
We’ll set saddle height and handlebar angle for you in minutes. Expect about 4 inches of seatpost range for multi-rider households.
Step-through vs step-over
Step-through: easiest to get on and off. Step-over: slightly sportier feel.
