GBWhere do I begin? I bought a Gazelle Medeo and paid over $3,000. Quality of build is low. Here is what has broken in the first 6 months of ownership: the plastic bell (not loud enough to begin with) fell off, chainguard cracked, front mudflap fell off, rear mudflap fell off, rear tire inner tube blew out stranding me 5 miles out, headlight snapped off while putting into bike rack (thin plastic mount), gear changer does not always work. Long series of headaches. My bike is a lemon. The worst part is the local dealer does not know how to get parts from Gazelle and Gazelle does not allow me to buy them. I am stuck with this nightmare. So dealer put on after market light when I wanted original light. I would give anything to get rid of this bike but spent a huge amount of money.

GBTailwind 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.

GBI 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.

GBGazelle: A Bike Built for Comfort and Durability I've been riding a Gazelle bike for over five days now, and I can honestly say that it's the best bike I've ever owned. It's comfortable, durable, and stylish, and it's always a pleasure to ride. I especially appreciate the Gazelle's upright riding position, which makes it so comfortable to ride for long distances. The seat is also very comfortable, and the suspension system does a great job of absorbing bumps and jolts. The Gazelle is also very durable. I've ridden it in all kinds of weather, and it's never let me down. The frame is made from high-quality materials, and the components are all top-notch. Finally, the Gazelle is just a beautiful bike. The sleek design and the high-quality paint job make it a real head-turner. Overall, I highly recommend Gazelle bikes to anyone looking for a comfortable, durable, and stylish bicycle. Pros: Comfortable riding position Supportive suspension Durable frame and components Stylish design Cons: None that I can think of I hope this review is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

GBThis bike is a beauty and a well built… This bike is a beauty and a well built machine. The finish, including paint and weld joints are impeccable. The bike is big, too big for me due a back injury. While its size/weight make for an extremely comfortable ride, stops and starts are only faintly similar to a conventional bike. The bike is not particularly maneuverable and feels like a tank when negotiating sharp turns and mitigating street traffic. From a cosmetic perspective I’m curious when considering the flawless finish of the bike that quality control didn’t get around to bundling and securing the cords on the handlebar area. Also, the headlamp while integrated, seems like an afterthought based on mounting and lack of intensity. Unfortunately, even with the Bosch mid-drive, the bike is terribly underpowered, lacking torque to easily assist on grades. I don’t think I would purchase this bike if I had the chance to reconsider.
