Gazelle, the renowned Dutch bicycle brand, is making waves in the US market with the launch of its first Class 3 electric bike, the Eclipse. This premium e-bike boasts several innovative features, making it a compelling option for urban commuters and recreational riders alike.
Unparalleled Integration with Bosch’s Smart System:
The Eclipse stands out for being the “first and only Class 3 e-bike in the US” to feature Bosch’s Smart System. This system seamlessly integrates the bike’s motor and electronics with the Bosch Flow app. Riders can personalize their experience and receive continuous over-the-air updates for bug fixes and new features, ensuring their Eclipse stays cutting-edge.
Built for Comfort and Capability:
Available in both high-step and low-step frames, the Eclipse is designed for comfort and effortless handling of heavy loads on diverse terrains. With wide 60mm tires, a front shock absorber, powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, and a large 750Wh battery, this e-bike tackles hills and long journeys with ease.
Powerful Performance and Smart Assistance:
The Bosch Performance Line Speed Motor with 85Nm of torque offers impressive power and a 28mph top speed. It features an Auto mode that adapts power delivery based on terrain, similar to Cowboy’s adaptive system. Additional features include a walk-assist function for navigating hills and preventing rollback, and route planning capabilities through the Flow app.
Smart Display and Dynamic Data:
The latest version of Bosch’s Smart System introduces the “Dynamic Display” mode. This automatically adjusts the information displayed on the Kiox screen to prioritize the most relevant data during your ride. It can switch between power, cadence, elevation, speed, distance, and range depending on your activity.
Premium Choices and Long-Term Value:
The Eclipse comes in two models: the chain-driven T11 HMB with Shimano Deore XT derailleur at $5,499 and the C380 HMB with a Gates belt drive and Enviolo CVT stepless hub at $5,999. While the price tags may seem steep, they represent a significant investment compared to the ongoing costs of car ownership. Plus, the Eclipse offers the added benefit of exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
Gazelle’s Eclipse is a feature-rich, powerful, and comfortable e-bike that could be a game-changer for urban transportation, offering a sustainable and enjoyable alternative to car dependency.
