The Gazelle Cabby C380 is a longtail electric cargo bike designed to offer a cycling experience closer to a regular e-bike while still providing ample cargo capacity. It boasts a maximum load capacity of 200 kilos, comparable to some traditional cargo bikes.

The Cabby C380 features a long luggage carrier at the back, accommodating most of the cargo, and a front basket that can hold up to 10 kilos. This design aims to provide a clear view of the road for the rider, unlike some cargo bikes where the cargo obstructs the field of vision. The bike is slightly shorter, lighter, and narrower than a traditional cargo bike, making it easier to handle.

One of the key advantages of the Cabby C380 is its ease of steering and maneuvering. Riders can effortlessly navigate with children and cargo on the back. The bike’s ‘Auto’ mode automatically adjusts between ‘Turbo’ and ‘Tour’ based on speed, providing a smooth and comfortable ride. It also comes with coat protectors, an essential feature for transporting children.

However, the longtail design also has its drawbacks. The rider cannot easily monitor the children or cargo on the back. Children need to actively hold on to the bars, although child seats can be attached for younger children.

Gazelle offers various accessories, such as storage baskets and panniers, to maximize the cargo capacity of the Cabby C380. The bike comes standard with a 400 Wh battery, offering a range of 40-80 kilometers, but heavier batteries are available at an additional cost. A sturdy, double-legged stand is also included.

The Cabby C380 is equipped with a built-in GPS tracker, which alerts the owner via an app if the bike is moved unexpectedly. This feature can help in the recovery of the bike if it is stolen and is also a requirement of some insurers.

The Gazelle Cabby C380 was named ‘Cargo Bike of the Year’ at the Rai Fiets Awards 2025. Its design, quality parts, safety features, and ease of maintenance contribute to its appeal. However, the Cabby C380 is more expensive than other longtail bikes.

The Cabby C380 is suitable for those who value a free, zooming e-bike feeling and are good at strategically loading cargo. It is a versatile option for transporting children and goods, and it can even be taken on holiday on a bicycle carrier.
