Electric bicycles are very popular in the Netherlands. But we can see this pattern developing in other countries as well. Now a Dutch brand is going to try to capture the US market.
It’s about the Gazelle you know best in the Netherlands, but it’s an unknown brand in the United States. With their Arroyo electric bike they are going to try to do something about it.
Gazelle electric bicycle for the US market
The American electric bicycle market sometimes looks like the Wild West. Many crazy models are released to you. That way, the Arroyo C7 and C8 from Gazelle will give you peace of mind. As far as we know they are regular bikes. I would say women’s models with low straps, so you can step on them easily. The battery is neatly attached to the front frame, which makes it look a bit sporty. The battery is fitted with 500 Wh, which lasts a reasonable amount of time.
The Arroyo electric bicycle is equipped with a Bosch Active Line Plus mid-motor. It has a torque of 50 Nm, which is very sleek and has a top speed of 32 kmph. This is slightly higher than what is allowed in the Dutch market, but it is caused by various laws there. In American Post It’s funny how they talk about not being able to give the bike a ‘throttle’. You really need to rotate the pedals to move forward.
Prices
In the United States, the Arroyo electric bicycle is available for a starting price of $ 3,299. The C8 starts slightly higher at $ 3,699. This is comparable to the amount we pay in the Netherlands. You can get the C7 quickly for less than 3,000 euros. Want to read more about electric bikes? Then visit our overview page here⁇
