E-Bike Battle: Gazelle Arroyo C5 or Avignon C380

I've got 5k miles on a 2019 Arroyo and want to get into the Bosch Smart System and MIK rack family. I rode both these bikes, and two things really stuck out. First, the Avignon feels more like a heavier Riese+Muler bike and less nimble than Gazelles are known for. It's not bad, just different. Also, the Avignon CVT makes a clicking sound when coasting while the Arroyo Nexus hub stays silent. I prefer the classic Gazelle nimble handling and a silent ride so it's the Arroyo for me!

Both, take turns riding each bike. 😁
