Gazelle Ultimate C380+: Everything You Need to Know
The live US page prints a Performance Line Speed at 85 Nm, 500Wh, 13,5 Ah, 36V, and 28 mph, at 55.6 lb excluding the battery, with no price. A June 9, 2026 report on the 2.0 prints a Sport motor, 540Wh, and $4,999. The C380 without the plus is a third bike.

The short answer
Gazelle’s US page is a belt bike with a Speed motor, 85 Nm, 500Wh, and a 28 mph max. Capacity uses a European comma at 36 volts, and the product of those cells is 486, not the 500 nameplate. Mass is 55.6 lb with the pack out, and no price. A June 9, 2026 report describes a Sport-motor 2.0 at 540Wh and $4,999. That is not the no-plus bike.
The Gazelle Ultimate C380+ on the live US page is a belt-drive city bike with a Bosch Performance Line Speed mid-drive, 85 Nm, a 500Wh pack, 13,5 Ah at 36 volts, and a max speed of 28 mph. Gazelle prints the ranges as Eco 60 miles, Tour 35, Sport 30, and Turbo 25. The weight line is 55.6 lb excluding the battery. The drivetrain is a Gates CDX belt and an Enviolo Trekking Manual hub. Brakes are hydraulic discs. High-step and mid-step are both listed. That page does not print a price, does not print 540Wh, and does not print the words Class 3. The product of 36 and 13.5 is 486. The row on the list links here.
Speed motor and 500Wh, or Sport motor and 540Wh
Gazelle’s open US page, BikeRumor’s June 9, 2026 report on the new Ultimate platform, Mann About Town’s September 24, 2026 note, and a 99 Spokes brake scrape. Not averaged.
| What is printed | |
|---|---|
| Live US page | Performance Line Speed, 85 Nm, mid-drive. 500Wh, capacity written 13,5 Ah, 36V. Ranges 60, 35, 30, and 25 miles. 55.6 lb excluding the battery. Gates CDX belt. Enviolo Trekking Manual. Hydraulic disc. Max speed 28 mph. No price on the crawl. No 540Wh. No class words. |
| June 2026 2.0 | BikeRumor: Class 3, assist up to 28 mph, Bosch Performance Line Sport, 85 Nm and 600W, with a Flow-app step to 90 Nm and 700W. 540Wh Powertube, PowerMore 250 compatible. The 2.0 at $4,999. Gates CDC, not CDX. Enviolo Trekking, 380 percent ratio. Claimed 59.5 lb excluding the battery. Low-step or high-step. Colors Between Blue and Turmeric Yellow. |
| Not this plus | The same BikeRumor piece prices a T11+ at $4,499 with an 11-speed chain. That is a different bike. Mann About Town, September 24, 2026: new Class 1 models include an Ultimate C380, without the plus, at $4,499, 540Wh standard, with an aftermarket path to 800Wh or a PowerMore 250, Enviolo, a belt, and Kiox. Do not merge the no-plus bike into this name. |
| Brakes | Gazelle’s open page says hydraulic disc. A 99 Spokes summary prints “Shimano Rim,” and the same compare later prints Shimano BR-MT420 discs, 180 mm and 160 mm. The rim cell fights both Gazelle’s sentence and the disc part number. This desk does not treat the rim word as the brake. |
Four hundred eighty-six is 36 times 13.5. Five hundred is what that page prints. The European comma in “13,5” is 13.5, not a different cell. A 540Wh Powertube belongs to the June 2026 2.0 story and to the no-plus note, not to the 500Wh card this desk opened. Fifty-five point six pounds and 59.5 pounds are both “excluding the battery,” on different generations. CDX and CDC are different belt part numbers. Speed and Sport are different Bosch badges, even when both pages print 85 Nm. Six hundred watts and seven hundred watts are BikeRumor’s Sport lines. They are not on the Speed card.
That page is a Speed motor, 500Wh, and 55.6 lb with the pack out, and it prints no price. The June 2026 2.0 story is a Sport motor, 540Wh, 59.5 lb with the pack out, and $4,999.
Who it is for
It is the belt-and-hub city bike, if the bike in the shop matches the page you read. The open card is the Speed motor and the 500Wh pack. The 2.0 story is the Sport motor, the larger pack, and a printed $4,999. It is not the Medeo T10. That Gazelle is a derailleur commuter whose Canada card is 65 Nm or, on another card, 75. A belt to an Enviolo hub does not shift like a cassette. The hub versus mid-drive page is still the right one: the Bosch unit is at the crank, and the hub is the gearing.
Pedals are here. A max speed of 28 mph is the Class 3 speed, and that page never uses the class words. BikeRumor does, for the 2.0. The no-plus bike in the September note is described as Class 1. The class chart is why a 28 mph line and a Class 1 line cannot be the same hangtag. The watt-hour page is 486 against the 500 nameplate, and it is why 540 is a different pack. Four range lines there were not averaged into one commute.
Questions people ask
Why doesn’t the amp-hour cell land on the 500 nameplate?+
The voltage cell is 36V and the capacity cell uses a European comma. The product of those two cells is 486. Five hundred is the nameplate. The June report’s Powertube, the larger one, is a different pack on a Sport motor, not a rounding of 486. Do not publish a compromise cell in between.
Is the June bike the same belt as the US page?+
No. The US card prints Gates CDX. BikeRumor’s June 9, 2026 account of the 2.0 prints Gates CDC, an Enviolo ratio of 380 percent, and colors Between Blue and Turmeric Yellow. Speed versus Sport is a badge change even though both lines print 85 Nm. Six hundred watts and a Flow step to 700W and 90 Nm are only in that report.
What is the C380 that does not have a plus?+
Mann About Town, September 24, 2026, describes new Class 1 models that include an Ultimate C380, without the plus, at $4,499, with 540Wh standard and a belt. BikeRumor’s T11+ is another bike, $4,499, with an 11-speed chain. Neither name is this plus sign. Do not hang the $4,499 tag on the 500Wh page, which printed no price.
Which brake sentence should you quote?+
Gazelle’s US page says hydraulic disc and does not print a class word, even though the max speed is 28 mph. A 99 Spokes summary prints Shimano Rim, and the same compare later prints Shimano BR-MT420 discs at 180 mm and 160 mm. The rim word fights both the brand page and the disc part number.

Gazelle Medeo T10: Everything You Need to Know
Not one motor. Gazelle Canada prints a Performance Line at 65 Nm, 20 mph, and 500Wh at 13.5Ah, with $4,499 and $3,499 on the page. The 75 Nm card is 13.4Ah. The product of 36 and 13.5 is 486. A Stateside models page listed the T9, not this name.

Hub Motor vs Mid-Drive: Which Should You Buy?
Hub ignores the gears. Mid-drive uses them. Hills, cargo, range-per-Wh, chain bills, and the $1,500 line where the answer actually changes.

What Is a Class 1, 2, and 3 E-Bike?
Class 1 is pedal-assist to 20. Class 2 adds a throttle to 20. Class 3 is pedal-assist to 28. A Tuttio is none of these. The sticker is not the trail.
