We are now taking pre-orders for the new extra torque (XT) range from Gazelle due here in late March/early April.
These bikes will have three times the torque of the current range with a price premium of around $300 over the existing models.
The new models will have 45Nm of torque compared with the earlier models sporting 15Nm. Power is limited and unchanged from 200 Watts in line with legal requirements.
The added torque is ideal for carrying loads or going up hills. The extra torque won't give you any more acceleration, but what it will do is give you the ability to resist change in speed when you load the bike, with bags or kids, or when you head uphill.
In other words, comparing the two models, when you hit a hill with the XT model you will find that you won't lose as much speed going up than you would with the standard model.
The extra torque makes the e.bike so much easier to ride in hilly cities like Sydney and Brisbane. In flat places the extra torque gives you an advantage in headwinds and when the bikes are loaded.
