Gazelle Arroyo C8 Elite
The New Gazelle Arroyo C8 Electric Bike (Bosch Smart System)
Elegant comfort. Modern electric performance.
The Gazelle Arroyo C8 has long been one of the most loved electric bikes in the Netherlands and across Europe. Now updated for Canada with the Bosch Smart System, the newest generation brings smarter technology, refined power delivery, and an even more elegant riding experience to this iconic Dutch comfort bike.
Designed for effortless everyday cycling, the new Arroyo C8 launched in March 2026 blends classic Gazelle design with modern Bosch performance. The result is an electric bike that feels smooth, stable, and incredibly natural to ride whether you’re commuting through the city, cruising bike paths, or enjoying longer recreational rides.
For riders who want premium comfort, reliability, and timeless style, the Arroyo C8 delivers an experience that makes cycling feel effortless again.
Dutch Comfort, Perfected
Gazelle has spent over a century refining what comfortable cycling should feel like. The Arroyo C8 continues that tradition with a low step-through frame, upright riding posture, and balanced geometry that make every ride relaxed and intuitive.
Mounting and dismounting is effortless, visibility in traffic is excellent, and the riding position reduces strain on your back, shoulders, and wrists. It’s the kind of bike you can ride for hours without fatigue.
This is Dutch cycling philosophy at its best: practical, comfortable, and beautifully engineered.
Bosch Smart System Power
At the heart of the Arroyo C8 is the Bosch Active Line Plus motor, delivering up to 50 Nm of torque with exceptionally smooth and quiet assistance. The power delivery feels natural and predictable, amplifying your pedaling rather than overpowering it.
With the Bosch Smart System, the bike also gains intelligent features that enhance everyday riding. Through the Bosch eBike Flow app, riders can monitor battery status, customize assist levels, and keep the system up to date with over-the-air software updates.
The result is a ride that feels intuitive, responsive, and perfectly suited to city riding and recreational cycling.
Clean Integration. Elegant Design.
The Arroyo C8 integrates its 540 Wh Bosch battery directly into the frame, maintaining Gazelle’s signature clean design while improving balance and stability on the road.
This sleek integration keeps the bike looking refined while providing ample range for daily commuting, errands, and weekend rides. It’s a perfect blend of performance and aesthetics.
Smooth Shifting. Low Maintenance.
A Shimano Nexus 8-speed internal gear hub provides smooth, reliable shifting with minimal maintenance. Because the gearing system is sealed inside the hub, it remains protected from weather and road grime, making it ideal for everyday riding.
Combined with powerful hydraulic disc brakes, the Arroyo C8 delivers confident stopping power in all conditions.
Comfort Built Into Every Ride
The Arroyo C8 is engineered to smooth out real-world roads.
A suspension fork with 40 mm of travel absorbs bumps and uneven pavement, while the suspension seatpost further improves comfort on longer rides. Together, they reduce fatigue and keep the ride feeling stable and composed.
Whether you're navigating city streets or exploring bike paths, the bike remains calm, comfortable, and easy to control.
Ready for Everyday Life
The Arroyo C8 arrives fully equipped with practical features designed for daily use:
Integrated lighting system for visibility
Full coverage fenders for wet conditions
MIK HD rear rack for cargo and accessories
Chain guard for clean, low-maintenance riding
Everything you need is already built into the bike.
Designed & Built in the Netherlands
Built by Gazelle, one of Europe’s most respected bicycle manufacturers, the Arroyo C8 reflects over a century of Dutch cycling expertise.
Combined with Bosch technology and premium components, it delivers the kind of long-term reliability and ride quality that makes Gazelle electric bikes trusted around the world.

Pedal Assist
Had an incredible experience at Scooteretti. Staff were friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the bikes they carry (and super patient as I tested many of them). All the bikes have high quality Bosch systems.
My electric bike is the next best thing to sliced bread. Instead of decreasing exercise, it makes me ride a lot more than I would with my Bertrand. The riding is smooth, even without engaging the Bosch motor, and I rarely have to use more than the second of four settings. Two weeks ago I did 118 km - "no sweat"!
We are very satisfied with the advice we received during our free remote consultation, which led to the purchase of two ebikes. We particularly appreciated the way they listened to us, and never felt the slightest pressure to conclude the sale.
Outstanding ebike, outstanding service. It’s that simple! Merci Scooteretti :)
Really happy with my purchase. Staff is incredible: a lot of teaching and assessment done so they adapted my ebike to my needs. I love my ebike ...so comfortable. It's worth to visit a specialized store when comes to investing in an electric bike.
We recently purchased two ebikes at Scooteretti. We love those bikes. There are well built with attention to details and with many well thought features. Scooteretti were very responsive to our needs and they have been very quick to provide us with feedback/answers about our new bikes and other accessories.
