Doesn't seem like it's been officially announced yet (and from what I hear it won't be available until March), but I stumbled upon a listing for Gazelle's 2019 Arroyo Elite on Scooteretti today: https://shop-usa.scooteretti.com/products/gazelle-arroyo-elite Biggest difference is the battery —...

Hey folks! My Gazelle Arroyo will be arriving soon, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to carry my existing Timbuk2 backpack during my commute. I'm leaning towards installing a rear basket so I can just throw my backpack in and secure it with bungee cords but, given that the bike has a...

Nice! My Gazelle Arroyo is supposed to arrive this week, and I'm very much looking forward to doing the exact same thing. :D Hope the weather starts cooperating so you can get some awesome rides in!

Very cool! Huge amount of respect for you and your shop, @Chris Nolte — love what you're doing and have had nothing but great experiences with Propel. Thank you!

This happened to me when test riding a Riese & Muller Nevo on a very windy day. Didn't realize the battery was practically empty and, needless to say, it was a difficult ride back to the shop :P The integrated lights and horn continued to work for a bit after the motor cut out, but they gave...

http://gothamist.com/2018/11/29/citi_bike_expansion_nyc.php Really excited to see e-bikes continue to become more mainstream, particularly in a city like New York which hasn't really been supportive of e-bikes until fairly recently. That said, I'm really curious how Citi Bike plans to keep all...

Yeah, I really hope these proposed bills are worded carefully and thoughtfully. It seems that, at the very least, it'd be very difficult / impractical to tell whether an ebike is in fact illegal without examining it closely. To make matters more confusing, the current set of laws seems to allow...

http://gothamist.com/2018/11/27/e-bike_e-scooter_legalization.php NYC City Council will be proposing a series of bills this Wednesday that, among other things, would finally legalize class 2 throttle eBikes. Really interested to see how this turns out, particularly given the immense popularity...

Watched one of Court's Riese & Muller reviews recently and was fascinated that their dual battery bikes use both batteries concurrently so as not to deplete one faster than the other + both batteries charge when the bike is plugged in.

Have you taken a look at Riese & Muller? From what I've seen during my own research, most of their e-bikes feature Bosch Performance Line CX (20mph) or Performance Line Speed (28mph) motors, and can be configured with belt drives + internal hubs. Some can also be fitted with dual batteries...

Thanks for your input everyone! I decided to go with the 2018 Arroyo (with Bosch Performance Line motor and Bosch Intuvia display), and even got it on sale for $3,199. Should be arriving in the next couple weeks. Can't wait!

According to LBS, the 2019 U.S. market Arroyo will retain the Nexus 8 IGH but otherwise be similar to what you posted above. I was excited about the upgrade to the Bosch PowerTube battery at first, but I'm disappointed they downgraded the motor and display (especially since the 2019 model is...

Hey folks! I'm looking to buy a step-through ebike for riding around / commuting in NYC and, after considerable research, am really interested in the Gazelle Arroyo. When test riding it at my LBS, though, I was told the 2019 model is coming out in March, and now I'm not sure what to do. Here's...
