Gazelle Ultimate C5
The new Gazelle Ultimate C5 arrives for 2027 as an all-new model in Gazelle's newest-generation Ultimate series, and it's the one that makes that redesigned platform feel genuinely within reach. It shares the same all-new aluminum frame, the same Bosch Smart System Performance Line motor, and the same Gates carbon belt drive as the flagship Ultimate C380, but pairs them with a simpler, easier-to-live-with Shimano Nexus 5 internal hub and a compact Bosch Purion 200 display. If you've been eyeing an e-bike that turns Ottawa hills, Gatineau bridges, and long Canadian commutes into the best part of your day, this is the one built to get you riding without overthinking the decision.
The drivetrain is where the C5 earns its keep. A 46-tooth Gates CDC belt up front and a 34-tooth Gates CDX cog at the rear drive a Shimano Nexus 5 internal-gear hub, so there are 5 clearly defined gears to shift through with a twist-grip shifter, no chain to grease, no derailleur hanging off the frame waiting to bend or skip on a pothole. The Bosch Smart System Performance Line motor delivers 75Nm of torque, more than enough to flatten the hills around the National Capital Region without a hard shove off the line, and the Bosch Purion 200 display keeps speed, battery status, and assist level visible at a glance, no fumbling with a phone, no menus to learn before your first ride. Want to go farther on a single charge? The 540Wh frame battery can be paired with the Bosch PowerMore 250 range extender, a 250Wh add-on that mounts like a water bottle for roughly 50% more range, or upgraded to a higher-capacity 800Wh battery, so a long weekend ride out to Gatineau Park doesn't have to mean watching the battery gauge.
Every detail on the redesigned frame is built to disappear into a great ride: the battery, motor, and cabling are integrated cleanly into the tubing, upright 70.5-degree geometry keeps your head up and sightlines clear whether you're weaving through downtown Ottawa traffic or cruising the Gatineau riverfront, and an air-sprung front fork, a suspension seatpost, and wide 55mm Schwalbe Green Marathon tires (built from 80% recycled and renewable materials) take the sting out of rough pavement, frost heaves, and light gravel. A new adjustable stem with an Intelli-Mount interface holds your smartphone at eye level, and a MIK-compatible aluminum rear carrier is ready for panniers or a grocery run the moment it's unboxed.
Here's why riders across Canada keep choosing Scooteretti for a bike like this: a belt drive and internal hub mean dramatically less maintenance than a chain-and-derailleur setup, the Bosch system is UL 2849 certified for battery and electrical safety, and Gazelle's frame warranty is a real multi-year commitment, not the pro-rated fine print some budget brands hide behind. Whether you walk into Scooteretti's Ottawa Experience Centre for a test ride or order online for delivery anywhere from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland, you get the same price match guarantee, financing options, and a Bosch-certified service network more than 2,400 locations strong across Canada and the US, so support is never far from home no matter where you ride. For anyone comparing trims within the Ultimate lineup, the C5 is the smart middle ground: every piece of hardware that makes the platform low-fuss and dependable, at a genuinely accessible price next to the range-topping C380.

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.
