As owner of previous generation of C380+ I definitely would skip this generation. The overall changes are not that notable except migration to Bosch Smart System, with 750Wh battery as biggest benefit of it. Otherwise, the immaturity of Smart System add some limitations to this model, like no...

You probably, but not me :) I would not ride regular bike as much as I do for ebike for one simple reason - it is too slow. While I enjoy cycling as it is, I use my ebike for commute (~60% of my rides are commute) and run errands (I am one of those non-typical Americans who doesn't own the car)...

My contribution is 100W in this case, exactly the same contribution I will do on regular bike, but riding way way slower. I am not gaining/loosing any noticeable amount of watts when I switch bikes. This is the point. The torque sensor does the scaling of your effort, but won't work instead of...

No, I don't agree. You are missing one important factor here, which is air resistance. On regular bike you hardly can reach the speeds where this became a noticeable factor (unless you are very fit cyclist), but on ebikes this factor plays a very important role (especially is you really ride...

Honestly I don't understand this at all - looks like someone is just showing off. There is pretty much no difference in physical effort / calories burned between regular bike and good torque-sensing ebike. If someone can put i.e. 160W being in HR Zone 2 75-80% of 30km ride, he/she can do it...

Stock tires on 380+ are 47mm. GT 365 I got are 50mm and clearance near the cranks is just few mm each side. So, if you tires are knobby you might not be able to fit 55mm to c380+.

They are relatively small after all - these are not truck or ship horns :) But I can assure you, they are much louder than any bell.

Thanks! This was final setup after several attempts to organize light/horn/camera. I tired probably half of the different mound for GoPro available on market before getting to current setup :) Here is the recording - http://sndup.net/y85y. I think it is in the middle, closer for #89.

They are pretty nice. Noise for sure is much more noticeable over the stock Energizer+ when riding on roads and bike lanes. Otherwise I have no complains at all. Usually I put them on bike sometimes in Nivevmber and ride till April or so.

Yes, I installed it and LBS connected the wire to the motor. It fits and works without issues at all. I am using GoPro mount and twin adapter to place horn and my cycliq camera under the front light (SuperNova Mini mounted with Nyon in common mount). Button is on right side, next to grip and...

Unfortunately it is not, since I have issue with shifting to only particular gear (and only shifting up from 5 to 6, works fine so far when shifting from 7 to 6). So it is not the shifter issue unfortunately...

Looks like my second Kindernay VII (which I received as warranty replacement) start having same issues as original one just after 2.5k miles :( The first symptom is when you stop feeling "click" while switching to specific gears (in my case - 6th) and gear engagement becomes unreliable. Based on...

It can't. I am Nyon owner for 1.5+ years.

Congrats! Gazelle make great ebikes! Somehow Gazelle decided to use this type of cafe lock by default. I replaced mine with variant, that doesn't lock key when got a chance. For battery removal at home you can just use 2nd key and leave the one in lock alone :)

I have almost 5k miles on my C380+ within almost exactly two years. They are close to end of life, but should survive to end of season (I have separate pair of wheels with Marathon GT 365 for winter). So, you should be able get more miles from yours for sure. One well-known secret is to swap...

I had very similar issue with mine (leaks, 5th gear stopped to engage, etc.). They replaced it (and new one already had more miles on it than faulty one), however even I asked them to get back to me with some info about why old hub failed, I never heard back :(

They are off-roard, but I don't see anything for puncture protection on them for main track - just sidewalls. Compare with i.e. Maraphon GT 365 from Schwalbe. Is side protection useful for MTB bikes? I don't think it makes sense for regular rides a lot...

I think this is the case where tires to be blamed, not tubes. What tires these were?

I totally see the point, especially for weight-optimize carbon-frame ebike. For me and many users here weight optimization is not in priority at all, since I use it not just for fun rides, but for commute and errands. I have 2 quite heavy metal motorcycle mirrors, dashcam, set of tools and lock...

So, one more negative to the tubeless noted - regular maintenance required. Why nobody mentioned this before? I did it once and then simply built new wheel set for winter season. Changing wheels is simpler than swapping tires (even ones with tubes) and you always have a backup set of wheels...
