With the introduction of the Cayo, Gazelle confidently enters the urban e-bike market. This minimalist city bike combines thoughtful design, smart technology and everyday practicality. Built to handle city life effortlessly, it features steel mudguards and reinforced stays that withstand daily wear. The prestigious Red Dot Design Award jury recognised this approach, awarding the Cayo 95 out of 100 points and the title of Best of the Best.

With the introduction of the Cayo, Gazelle is confidently entering the urban e-bike realm. This minimalist city bike is designed with a keen eye for design, smart technology, and everyday ease of use. And built to effortlessly handle city life, with features like steel mudguards and thick mudguard stays: it can handle a beating. It's no wonder the jury of the prestigious Red Dot Design Award awarded the Cayo 95 out of 100 points and the title of "Best of the Best."

The Cayo is available in two versions: the C1 (€3.599) with a fixed single-speed drivetrain, ideal for flat routes and daily commuting, and the C310 (€3.999) with a continuously variable Enviolo hub gear, perfect for those who want more variety in terrain or longer rides. The super-stiff frame provides improved stability and a direct feel in corners – you're always in control. Both models are equipped with a low-maintenance Gates belt drive and the lightweight, powerful FAZUA Ride 60 system. This compact, silent mid-motor delivers 60 Nm of torque and offers three support modes: Breeze (eco), River, and Rocket, with a range of 80, 60, and 45 kilometers respectively. The boost function is handy in the city. With the push of a button, you can smoothly accelerate away from traffic lights. Tektro HD-R3020 hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable braking power: essential in busy city traffic.

The battery (430 Wh) is – just like the cables and motor – stylishly integrated into the aluminum frame, but easily removable. Prefer to charge on the bike? That's possible too. The cockpit remains deliberately clean: no traditional display, but a Quad Lock interface that allows you to attach your smartphone and charge it wirelessly. If you don't have a phone with you, a subtle LED display on the frame shows the essentials. Safety has also been considered. Thanks to the built-in Gazelle Protect GPS system, you can always find your bike via the app, in combination with a data plan. You'll receive an immediate notification of any unwanted movements, and with theft insurance, active tracking is even possible in the event of theft. The Cayo is available in multiple colors, with a high or low step-through frame, and can optionally be expanded with a front or rear carrier. And with over 700 service points in the Netherlands, help is always close at hand. With the Cayo, Gazelle demonstrates that style, technology, and functionality are a perfect match – a strong alternative to urban e-bikes from brands like VanMoof and Cowboy.
