Belt Drive Electric Bikes | Gazelle Bikes (2024)

Electric bikes with belt drives offer a wide range of benefits, from being delightfully low maintenance toextremely quiet to ride. Shifting is smooth and near-silent, and as belts don't rust or require lubrication, cleanliness is not a concern. Another benefit of belt drives is their longevity--a belt will typically last longer than a chain. If you're looking for an electric bike that is easy to maintain, consider one with a belt drive.

Quality, heritage, and innovation are at the core of the Gazelle brand, so naturally, we chose the highest quality belt drive on the market from a 100+ year-old company to spec on our electric bikes, the Gates Carbon Drive. A weather-resistant polyurethane exterior protects a network ofstrong, stretch-free carbon fiber tensile cords, to create a durable and dependable drive to power every shift. Experience equals excellence!
