The Gazelle Grenoble C8 is a Dutch-style city e-bike designed for upright, comfortable urban riding with a step-through frame, integrated components, and a focus on practicality and everyday commuting.
At its core is a Bosch Smart System mid-drive setup built around the Bosch Active Line Plus motor. This motor delivers up to 50 Nm of torque, prioritising smooth, quiet assistance rather than aggressive power, making it well suited for city riding, gentle hills, and relaxed cruising.
Power comes from an integrated Bosch PowerTube battery, available in 540 Wh or 600 Wh versions. The battery is fully hidden in the frame and removable for charging.
The system is controlled via a Bosch display unit, typically the Purion 200, offering multiple assist modes (Eco, Tour, Auto, Turbo), walk assist, and standard Bosch Smart System integration.
Key bike highlights (beyond Bosch system)
- 8-speed Shimano Nexus internal hub gears for low-maintenance shifting
- Hydraulic disc brakes (Tektro) for reliable all-weather stopping power
- 28” wheels with Schwalbe Energizer tyres for comfort and stability
- Front suspension fork (40 mm travel) for smoothing urban bumps
- Fully integrated design: hidden cables, internal battery, rear rack, lights, and commuter accessories
Overall
The Grenoble C8 is essentially a comfort-first Bosch-powered city e-bike: quiet motor, long-range integrated battery, low maintenance drivetrain, and upright riding geometry.
