The Gazelle Cabby C380 electric cargo bike offers a unique alternative to traditional cargo bikes, providing a lighter and more agile cycling experience. While it requires some adjustments in packing and organization, its smooth handling, powerful motor, and focus on safety make it a strong contender in the cargo bike market.
The Cabby C380 is designed to compete with popular electric cargo bikes, offering a maximum load capacity comparable to the Urban Arrow. Unlike traditional cargo bikes with a front box, the Cabby features an elongated rear luggage carrier, allowing for a more streamlined design and improved visibility. The front basket can hold up to 10 kilos, while the majority of the cargo is carried on the back.
Despite its size, the Cabby C380 is shorter, lighter, and narrower than many cargo bikes, making it easier to maneuver. The bike’s handling is intuitive, requiring little adjustment even with children and cargo on board. An ‘Auto’ mode automatically adjusts the level of assistance based on speed, providing a smooth and effortless ride.
Safety is a key consideration in the Cabby’s design, with features like coat protectors and a sturdy, double-legged stand. While the rear cargo design offers a clear view of the road, it can be difficult to monitor children riding in the back. Child seats can be attached for younger children, and the longtail design allows older children to ride comfortably.
The Cabby C380 comes standard with a 400 Wh battery, offering a range of 40-80 kilometers, but heavier batteries are available for an additional cost. Gazelle has also integrated a GPS tracker into the Cabby, alerting the owner via an app if the bike is moved unexpectedly.
The Gazelle Cabby C380 boasts high-quality parts, a belt drive for low maintenance, and thoughtful design elements for enhanced safety. The Cabby was named “Cargo Bike of the Year” by the Rai Fiets Awards 2025. The Gazelle Cabby C380 starts at € 5,699. Its dimensions are Length 255 cm, Weight 38.4 kg, Box 85 x 67 x 85 cm, Load capacity box 75 kg, Motor Bosch Performance Line CX mid-motor, Torque 85 Nm, Standard battery 400 Wh, Action radius 40-80 km.
