The Esprit C7 is used as the reference point in this guide because it's where most riders start — not because it's lacking. Shimano Steps E5000 motor, hydraulic disc brakes, 7-speed Nexus hub, integrated lighting, MIK HD rear carrier. A genuinely capable, no-frills eBike built to last, at the most accessible price in the range.

Bold specs in each card show what each model adds on top of the Esprit C7's spec.
Front & rear MIK HD carriers, double kickstand, 170 kg total weight rating.
Bosch Smart System with 50 mm fork suspension, seatpost suspension and a tool-free adjustable stem.
Low standover step-through, 8-speed hub and brighter 50 lux headlight. Smaller frame sizes use 26″ wheels for proportional fit.
Grenoble moves the battery into the frame for a lower centre of gravity and cleaner look.
75 Nm Bosch Performance Line, Gates belt drive, lockout fork and Kiox 300 colour display.
Shimano 9-speed derailleur instead of a hub gear — wider range, lighter and more dynamic to ride.
Gazelle's most comfortable model — wide tyres, suspension fork and 75 Nm Bosch Performance Line.
Extended rear carrier rated to 80 kg, front carrier too, 85 Nm Bosch Performance Line CX motor.
Great value, no-frills reliability. Used here as the reference point — every other model is compared against this spec.
