I was relieved to hear today that a replacement battery for my Gazelle will cost me at current prices, £267.00 inc VAT. As it happens, my battery is still holding a full charge very well and I don't need a replacement at the present time.
It's only a 26V 7.2A battery but it does the job although perhaps not with the same grunt as some of the more modern machinery.
That price was from a Gazelle dealer so I'm not unhappy with that considering the cost of batteries on some of the more up-to-date bikes that many forum members use. With what Gazelle dealers charge for their Gold battery on their front hub driven bikes, I could almost have two of the ones for my bike!
Everything's relative of course and I'm not going to win any hill sections in any event anywhere but I'm confident of getting to the top of the hill, albeit slowly. That's good enough for a Dutch town bike I suppose. Nobody gives a second glance at my other bikes but many acknowledge the Gazelle and want to know more about ebikes. Only my Jack Russells have ever grabbed the attention of strangers in that way.
