Rack Mounted Batter Pack, 1.7 lb 4 Amp Battery Charger Pros: • I reviewed the smaller 46 cm wave step-thru frame style and found it incredibly easy to mount and stand over when stopped, you can get the Arroyo C8 HMB in four frame sizes and they also make a high-step version for Europe if you want a stiffer frame • Beautiful and sturdy frame design, notice how smooth and seamless all of the welds are, how the rear rack support extends from the frame itself (and connects to a second piece of metal under the fender), there are walls inside the downtube that reduce flex • Great blend of efficiency and comfort here... notice the monoshock, suspension seat post, wider 1.75″ tires (compared to 1.4″ on the 2017 version), plush Selle Royale Herz saddle, and rubber ergonomic grips • You can adjust body position on the fly because the stem is fully adjustable and tool-free, put the bars forward and down for aerodynamic efficiency or back and upright for relaxed back, shoulders, and neck • Hydraulic rim brakes offer the same consistency as hydraulic disc (the rear brake isn't harder to pull than the front, despite having a longer cable), the levers offer adjustable reach for smaller hands, and they keep the front hub clear to reduce damage at bike racks... sometimes disc brake rotors will get bent up on bike racks in the city • The rear rack is very sturdy and packed with features, note how far back it's mounted so the saddle can be dropped into the lowest position without colliding, this rack surrounds the battery pack, has standard gauge pannier hangers and blocker bars, and comes with a triple-bungee for quick tie-down • Premium integrated lights make safety convenient, you don't have to worry about forgetting to turn them on or off and they won't get stolen as easily when parked in public places because they are bolted on, the tires are also reflective so you will be noticed more easily from the side • Both the headlight and backlight have side windows so the light can escape and keep you seen from multiple angles while riding in darkness • They now offer the bike in three colors for the North American market, I love the Legion Blue but might opt for Industry Grey to be more visible at night, the black is professional and hides the battery, motor, and cables the best • Changing flat tires is never fun but the effort and inconvenience is elevated on an ebike bolt-on rear wheel and internally geared hub (the front wheel does have traditional quick release), so I'm glad to see the upgraded Schwalbe Energizer Plus tires with built-in puncture protection • A Shimano Inter8 internally geared hub makes shifting gears at standstill possible and reduces the possibility of chain slap and drops because the chain only runs through one rear sprocket, I have found that they tend to require less maintenance and are less vulnerable if the bike tips over or gets banked up at the bike rack because there is no derailleur • Over the years, I have become a big fan of Bosch electric bike systems because shops tell me that they rarely need service, the motors are responsive and smart (including shift detection to reduce drivetrain stress) and the batteries are backward compatible so you could use an older Powerpack 400 rack style pack with this bike • The 4 Amp battery charger is twice as fast as most standard chargers on other electric bicycles, weighing ~1.7 lbs it's not super heavy or large and bulky, you can take the power cord out of one side to make it more compact • The frame has an AXA Defender cafe lock built on to lock the rear wheel and it uses the same key as the battery pack! This is convenient for quick stops and reduces the expense and clutter of getting a heavy aftermarket lock (but I'd still recommend using a u-lock to secure the frame to a bike rack for longer stops because someone could still lift and carry off your bike with just the cafe lock activated) • Perfect kickstand placement, and the stand is adjustable length without using a screwdriver so you can stand it properly on the fly, notice how it stays clear of the left crank arm and is directly below the rack which might have heavy bags or a child seat mounted • The rims have reinforcement eyelets to spread weight out and reduce the chance of cracking if the bike is really loaded up with gear or a heavier rider, the spokes are slightly thicker as well (13 gauge rear and 14 gauge front) • The front fender is extra long and low to really keep your feet and shins clean, it has a rubberized end piece so it can bend if you bump into a curb or kick it, I like that they removed the light from the fender and are using a more standard part now • Your pants or skirt ends should stay clean and snag-free because the chain is completely enclosed here, the drivetrain is fairly quiet but the higher powered Bosch Performance Line Cruise motor does produce some whirring noise when used in the higher levels • The Bosch Intuvia display panel is one of my all-time favorites because it has a Micro-USB port built in for maintaining a phone or portable electronic device on the go and it's completely removable for safe keeping • I was told that the paint on Gazelle bikes is marine tested and uses four layers so that it can withstand heavy use and years of riding, they use stainless hardware and sealed bearings to hold up well in wet conditions • Royal Dutch Gazelle is recognized as a leading company in the Netherlands with over 100 years of service and no ethical faults, they offer an excellent two-year warranty and sell through a wide network of shops worldwide
