    Do you regret buying (or not buying) Step-thru vs. Step-over frame?

    I had a Pedego interceptor step thru for 8 years and now have a Gazelle C380 step thru. The older you get the more you appreciate the ease of getting in the saddle.

    Ultimate C380+ Belt Tension And Tire Wear

    It's not difficult to adjust your belt tension. According to Gates your tension should be between 35 and 50 lbs. The heavier you are the more tension needed. I am 200lb. and run my C380 at 48 to 49lb. There are good videos on you tube on how to adjust your belt and Gates makes a free phone app...

    UC380 handlebar adjustment

Once the bolt is loosened (not completely out) the spring is supposed to push the tapered plugs out and it does take some wiggling of...

    UC380 handlebar adjustment

    I had trouble adjusting the stem on my C380 and got ahold of Gazelle and they sent me this info sheet. Roamers is right the stuff is spring loaded. If you loosen bolt #6 piece #1 should pop out. If it doesn't tap the bolt it can be sticky. Be careful of the pin at #2 it is very small and could...

    Ultimate 380+ Belt Tension, is this too much slack?

    I had to tighten my belt after approx. 150 miles as well. I used the Gates phone app and it worked well. You definitely have to have a quiet space with no other noise interference or you will get a false reading. I do like the fact that if you do three readings with the Gates app you can take an...

    mirror mount end of bar

    Once it took a hit the cheap plastic cracked and would not hold a position. Those mirrors only fold in if you loosen the nut and who wants to do that every time you want to fold it.

    mirror mount end of bar

    I had a mirrcycle on my C380 from a previous e-bike and was constantly having to re-adjust it. Being plastic it took a knock on the side of my shop when parking my bike and was never the same. I bought a Bush & Muller Cycle Star mirror that is similar to the mirrcycle but it is all metal...

    E-bike evolution

My previous bike was a Pedego Interceptor that I rode for 8 years and prior to that I had a Schwinn electric bike that I rode for 4 years. The Schwinn was one of the first mass produced e-bikes and was a real bear to...
