Specs are for the stock bike as sold; check your own bike before you buy. This page covers the current Gazelle Arroyo C8 Elite, a comfort e-bike on 28 inch (700c) wheels, listed at $3,499. It uses the Bosch Active Line Plus mid-drive (50 Nm) on the Bosch smart system; see Bosch motors explained. Gears are in a Shimano Nexus 8 internal hub driven by a KMC X8 chain (38T front, 18T rear). Older Arroyo builds (C7+ and earlier C8) can differ, so match the part on your bike before you order.
Electrical parts on this list must match this exact model and are fitted at the external plugs or by a pro. Never open the battery, motor, display or charger. Battery and motor service on the Bosch system is dealer work: a Bosch dealer reads faults with its diagnostic tool and updates the software.
