The bike is a Gazelle CityZen 8 and it is as lively to ride as a normal bike. It has the Bosch Active Line system and a 400 battery. I have managed 90 miles in a day on the eco setting but in more general use it shows around 45 miles before a charge is needed. It will come with the Bosch charger.
I have had this for three years and just over 3000 miles from new and it has had a service each year. At the start of this month (May) the service included a new chain and sprockets, brake pads for the hydraulic disk brakes, a software update and a battery test as I realised I might sell it. The test reports the battery still holds 100% of its charge.
The bike is a joy to live with as the chain is enclosed and there is a Dutch lock on it so that quick cafe stops don't mean a lengthy locking process but it is still a fast bike. Everything about this bikes makes me smile. However, if you want a suspension bike or are thinking of slow and cushioned this is not for you. 33 mph is the max for me so far, obviously downhill!
I have bought a folder as I have downsized the van.
The design is still on sale today as new at just shy of £2000. I am asking £500. I am based in Hertford and would prefer buyer collects as I don't have a van big enough anymore.
