13 reasons to buy
- The Eclipse comes in two builds. The C380+ has a Gates belt drive and an ENVIOLO stepless hub; the T11+ has a traditional 11-speed Shimano Deore XT drivetrain.
- Buyers can choose between low-step and step-over frames and three sizes.
- Testers say the relatively upright riding position, SR Suntour MOBIE 45 suspension fork, and Selle Royal Essenza Plus gel seat provide a comfortable ride.
- The C380+’s belt drive and CVT hub offer reduced maintenance and greater durability over a traditional chain drive and derailleur.
- Reviewers praise the silence, smoothness, and simplicity of the C380+’s belt drive and ENVIOLO hub.
- The included 4A charger reduces charging times compared to more typical 2A and 3A chargers.
- Gazelle’s warranty covers the frame for 10 years, the fork and paint for five years, and other warranty parts, such as the battery, motor, and display, for two years.
- The Eclipse comes with lights, fenders, a chain guard, a café lock, a kickstand, and a MIK HD-compatible rack rated for 55lb.
- Reviewers savor the Eclipse's beautiful finish.
- Testers say the Eclipse easily cruises at 26 to 28mph and has plenty of torque for accelerating quickly and climbing steep hills.
- Two testers travel more than 40 miles without coming close to depleting the battery.
- A reviewer appreciates the size-specific handlebars on the smaller frames.
- With Bosch's eBike Flow app and Kiox 300 display, riders can access turn-by-turn navigation, GPS tracking, and automatic pedal assist adjustment.
4 reasons not to buy
- The Eclipse is pricey, especially for a commuter e-bike.
- The Gazelle Eclipse doesn't have a throttle.
- At around 70lb, both Eclipse builds are heavy, especially for this price point.
- A reviewer says the suspension fork lacks the travel needed for the kind of trekking portrayed in Gazelle’s marketing materials.
Bottom line
Gazelle’s Eclipse is a premium Class 3 e-bike with a 250W Bosch mid-drive motor, 723Wh battery, and SR Suntour MOBIE suspension fork. The bike comes with a traditional Shimano 11-speed derailleur and chain or ENVIOLO CVT hub and Gates belt drive. Both versions come in three sizes and step-over or step-through frames. Testers are hugely impressed with almost every aspect of the Eclipse, from the quality finish and components to the comfortable ride, long battery range, and ease of use. One finds the display a bit fiddly. All deem the Eclipse an excellent e-commuter that fulfills the expectations of its very high price.
