Gazelle Eclipse C380+ Bosch Electric City Bike

Most high-speed ebikes push performance at the cost of daily usability. The Eclipse C380+ avoids that tradeoff with a drivetrain that requires almost no maintenance — the belt and CVT hub combination doesn’t stretch, doesn’t need lubrication, and isn’t exposed to bumps like a derailleur. At speed, that matters—no chain slap, no mis-shifts under load, no tuning after impact.

The Bosch Speed motor isn’t just about raw top speed. It’s built to hold pace steadily, meaning long-distance riders don’t get fading assist or surging behavior that drains range. Gazelle pairs this with rigid frame engineering so the bike stays planted at 28 mph—no speed wobble, no twitch.

You want a fast commuter ebike that still rides like a low-maintenance Dutch transport machine, not a performance bike with fragile parts. You want speed + zero drivetrain fuss, a belt instead of a chain, and a bike you can count on daily without derailleur tuning. If your goal is to ride fast and often, but not spend weekends wrenching, the C380+ is the logical answer.

Gazelle has over 130 years of Dutch transport engineering behind every frame. Their priority has always been daily dependability over hobbyist performance, which is why even their speed-class models are built on calm geometry and integrated systems instead of lightweight race components. The Eclipse C380+ is a perfect example: high speed without high drama, full utility without compromise.
