    Hitch bike rack - Gazelle Ultimate C8/C380

    This is the only rack that would accommodate the step through frame and fenders on my Gazelles. I like it because it is simple to secure the bikes with no potential damage to the bikes at the attachment points used by other vendors. The front fenders are far enough back that the locking...

    Just bought an Ultimate C8 HMB

    I had issues finding a bike rack that would fit these bikes and the Kuat Piston Pro worked perfectly without causing damage where most racks hold the bikes. I did not take the batteries out while taking them home from the dealer but would for sure take them out when transporting any distance.

    Just bought an Ultimate C8 HMB

    Congrats on the new bike. I just bought the Ultimate C380 for myself and the Ultimate C8 for my wife. Both are in the 46" frame. The only difference in the 53" and 46" frame is the seat post height. I raised my seat about 1" which made it perfect for my pedal position. However, I found the...

    I'm having issues finding a bike rack (hitch) that will work with a Gazelle Ultimate C8 and C380 in the LOW-STEP configuration. Most all hitches support the bike using the upper or mid frame bars. With the LOW-STEP there is no connection point. It will be used with a 2022 Mercedes AMG 450 63S...

    Considering a Gazelle, Pros and Cons?

    I think I found my answer. Just downloaded the Gazelle Ultimate Geometry page and compared the frame dimensions of the small (46) and medium (53). The ONLY difference in the frame dimensions between the small and medium is the seat tube height. All other dimensions are the same. Given this...

    Considering a Gazelle, Pros and Cons?

    Following up on the correct bike size question. My wife is 5'6" and the small (46) low step Ultimate C8 frame fits her well. I'm looking to buy the 380 low step and I felt the medium frame (53) was too tall. I'm 5'10"/190 lbs and all the charts clearly say that the medium should be correct...
