Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Gazelle Orange C8 HMB 26": Perfectly Proportioned for Smaller Riders

Since 1892, Royal Dutch Gazelle has been synonymous with the world’s most comfortable bicycles. The Orange C8 HMB 26" is a direct response to the needs of riders who require a smaller, more approachable e-bike without compromising on premium features. It brings the prestige of the Orange range—one of Gazelle's most popular models—into a compact, easy-to-manage package.

Premium Engineering for Urban Luxury

1. Effortless Bosch Smart System Power

The heart of the Orange C8 is the Bosch Active Line Plus motor. Delivering 50 Nm of torque, it provides enough power to conquer city hills while remaining incredibly quiet. The latest models feature the Bosch Smart System, allowing you to connect via the eBike Flow app for navigation, activity tracking, and over-the-air updates.

2. Low-Maintenance Shimano Hub Gearing

The Shimano Nexus 8-speed internal hub is the ideal urban companion. Unlike traditional derailleurs, you can change gears while stationary at a red light, and the enclosed chaincase keeps your clothes clean while significantly reducing maintenance needs.

3. Unrivalled Riding Comfort

Every detail is designed to dampen the road. The combination of telescopic front fork suspension, a sprung seatpost, and wide 47mm tires ensures that vibrations from cobblestones or uneven pavement are neutralized before they reach the rider. The upright seating position provides a panoramic view of traffic, enhancing both safety and enjoyment.

The Authorised Dealer Security

When you invest in a Gazelle, you are investing in over a century of quality.

  • Factory-Certified Setup: We don't just "box-shift." We calibrate the Purion 200 display and ensure the Tektro hydraulic disc brakes are bedded in and perfectly aligned.

  • 10-Year Frame Warranty: Your lightweight aluminum frame is guaranteed for a decade, but this protection is best maintained through an official dealer who understands the nuances of Gazelle's engineering.

  • Psychological Comfort: Buying from a local expert provides the peace of mind that support, spare parts, and specialized technical knowledge are always within reach.

    4. "People Also Ask" FAQ Section

    Who is the Gazelle Orange C8 26" designed for?

    This model is specifically designed for shorter or smaller-framed riders who find standard 28-inch wheels too cumbersome. It is available in extra-small frame sizes like 42 cm and 46 cm, making it much easier to handle and mount/dismount.

    What is the range on a single charge?

    Remaining somewhat reserved, with a 500Wh battery, you can expect an approximate range of 30 to 60 miles depending on the many variables such as rider weight, input and terrain.

    Does this bike have a belt drive or a chain?

    The Orange C8 HMB 26" typically uses a chain drivetrain housed within a fully enclosed chaincase. This provides excellent protection against the elements and keeps the chain lubricated for longer with minimal user maintenance.

    Are the brakes powerful enough for a smaller rider?

    Yes. The latest models are equipped with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes. Unlike mechanical or rim brakes, these require very little hand strength to apply significant stopping power, making them ideal for riders who want confident control in wet weather.

Gazelle Orange C8 26"



The Gazelle Orange C8 HMB 26" is a specialized, luxury low-step electric bike engineered to provide the signature "Royal Gazelle" comfort in a more accessible, compact form factor. By utilizing 26-inch wheels and extra-small frame sizes (42 cm and 46 cm), it offers superior maneuverability and a lower center of gravity, making it the ideal choice for smaller riders or those seeking a more approachable mounting height.

People Also Ask: FAQ Section

What is the benefit of the 26-inch wheels on this Gazelle model?

The 26-inch wheels bring the entire frame closer to the ground, allowing for a lower minimum saddle height and a more spacious, lower step-through. This significantly improves confidence for smaller riders when starting and stopping.

What is the range of the Gazelle Orange C8 26"?

Equipped with a 400 Wh battery, the bike offers a maximum range of approximately 115 km in Eco mode. The 500 Wh battery option extends this maximum range to roughly 145–150 km, depending on riding conditions and terrain.

Is the Orange C8 26" motor powerful enough for hills?

Yes. The 50 Nm Bosch Active Line Plus motor provides natural, quiet assistance that is best suited for flat to moderately hilly areas. Its agile acceleration ensures a sporty feel even in urban traffic.

How much maintenance does the internal hub gear require?

The Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub is internally geared, meaning the mechanics are protected from rain, dirt, and salt. This system requires significantly less maintenance than a traditional derailleur and allows you to shift gears while stationary at a stoplight.

What warranty is included with this Gazelle?

When purchased from an Authorised Dealer, you receive a 10-year warranty on the frame, a 5-year warranty on the suspension fork, and a 2-year warranty on the motor, battery, and other core components.

The Gazelle Orange C8 HMB 26" is a premium electric hybrid designed for shorter riders. It is powered by the Bosch Active Line Plus (50 Nm) motor and an 8-speed Shimano Nexus internal hub. Key features include Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, a suspension fork and seatpost for maximum comfort, and integrated 50 Lux lighting. Its 26-inch wheel configuration provides enhanced stability and a lower step-through height compared to standard 28-inch e-bikes.
