With the Gazelle Chamonix C5 HMS, you might have to look twice to spot that it's an e-bike. Whether you are commuting, going to the beach or the city — with the smooth pedal assistance and the extremely quiet Gates belt drive, you'll be able to cycle everywhere, effortlessly.
Belt drive: quiet and low maintenance
A big plus of the Chamonix C5 HMS is the Gates belt drive. In fact, a belt drive has several advantages over the classic chain drive. To begin with, a belt drive is very quiet and requires little maintenance. Unlike a chain, you don't have to lubricate it and it lasts three to five times longer.
Long-lasting gear shifting pleasure
The Shimano Nexus 5-speed hub is designed to withstand the larger forces exerted on the drive in an e-bike. The interior components are stronger and more durable, and the steps between the five gears are all of equal size (unlike comparable hubs). Therefore, the gear shifting itself also generates less resistance.
Your handlebars can be adjusted in seconds
The Chamonix C5 HMS features the Gazelle Switch handlebar stem, so you can adjust your handlebars to the perfect height in an instant. Therefore, you can cycle in any riding position you want. In addition, the braking, shifting and lighting cables are neatly tucked away inside the frame. That means well-protected cables and a sleeker look.
Powerful assistance
The Shimano mid-drive motor provides powerful assistance on any terrain. Its 60-Nm output helps you quickly get up the mountain or accelerate rapidly at traffic lights. With your choice of a 504-Wh or 630-Wh battery, you can go on long journeys.
Shimano STEPS
The Shimano E6100 motor is a very versatile motor that you can use in any terrain. With 60 Nm torque you can easily handle both flat and hilly terrains. What's more, at 2.88 kg this motor is very light.
Intelligent battery integrated into the down tube
Shimano's high-performance, lithium-ion batteries have an intelligent battery-management system that provides the maximum possible range. The battery is nicely integrated into the down tube, which improves road holding. Its compact size makes it easy to slide it in and out of the e-bike. You can choose the battery capacity that suits you: 504Wh or 630Wh. The battery is reliably secured with a lock on your frame and is easily removed using your bike key. Convenient, as you can charge the battery either on or off the bike.
Shimano Steps LCD center
The Shimano E6100 display clearly shows all of the functions you could want, including: speed, distance, cycling time, clock, gear, estimated range, battery indicator. The clear layout means that your ride data is always easily accessible. The display is detachable and its compact size and light weight make it easy to carry in your pocket.
