A new addition to the Gazelle range for 2011 is the Orange Pure Innergy. We keep the Innergy Pure in stock for test rides and evaluation. Where last year we offered only the Innergy Excellent, we can now supply both grades. So, what’s the difference? Well, in the Pure, Gazelle has managed to reduce costs by simplifying the design a little. The electric assistance sensor is a bit simpler and some of the finishings are a step down.
The best thing is that we’re finding the Innergy Pure is in some …

Alex from Gazelle came past yesterday on his way down to setup the Gazelle stall for the Go Bike expo starting tomorrow. He brought along an Orange Innergy electric assist bike.
These bikes are different from the standard “electric bike” concept. There’s not a stop/go throttle instead they have a sensor on the drivetrain which tracks your pedalling effort and assists accordingly. It gives for a much smoother ride without the jerky start/stop of the less sophisticated electric bikes.
The first delivery will be here early December. We’re taking orders now.
