Gazelle really did the design right I love the design of my new Royal Dutch Gazelle bike. The combination of the comfortable ride of the bike with the Bosch motor and Enviolo hub make longer journeys through the city possible and even pleasant. The Ultimate is making car-free living better. Thanks to the fantastic people at Electric Avenue Houston for helping me find the perfect bike.

Break Issue and lack of bottle holder pins/screws I received my bike approx. 10 days ago. I rode my bike about three times and heard a strange noise with my bike's break. For safety reason, I took it to my bike shop and learned that it wasn't installed correctly. It is unfortunate that I experienced such a simple issue so quickly. That's one of the issue. As for on the bike, I feel that missing a water bottle holding screws as a standard offering is unacceptable. From the pictures online, the C380 HMB had water bottle holder screws, while the actual bike is missing them. I am very disappointed that a bike doesn't have water bottle holder screws as a standard feature.

Tailwind in my pocket When I ride my Gazelle, I find myself calling to mind childhood memories and songs I haven't thought of in decades. I think they're being unlocked by experiencing the rush of popping into Turbo mode and devouring a headwind that might once have left me gassed. There's much to be said for carrying a tailwind around in your back pocket.

It is worth the few extra dollars The buying experience with our local Gazelle dealer (Cranked Bike Studio) and great engineering of your bikes, has gone beyond any of our expectations. We got the C8's for many reasons, test rode about 15 different brands, and decided on the Gazellles!

I bought my Gazelle Medeo T9 back in… I bought my Gazelle Medeo T9 back in May 2021 (when e-bikes were difficult to find during the pandemic), and it has reduced my dependence on a car. I took advantage of the MIK rack and added a rear basket and panniers which worked out great for picking up groceries and take-out, and replaced the stock saddle with a Selle Royal Respiro Relaxed seat and now enjoy 20-30 mile rides along the SF Bay Trail. The Bosch Active Line Plus 3rd generation motor makes headwinds almost unnoticeable. However, my Bosch Purion display failed after 1 year, but my local Gazelle dealer had it replaced hassle-free and at no charge. Overall, a really good electric bike with quality components, build and comfort. Still rides like new after 2500 miles.
