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.

This 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.

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!

Where 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.

The Medeo's are incredible... The Medeo's are incredibly beautiful, functional and graceful riding machines - making transit, exploration and adventure a surely confident and joyous time. I love riding my T-10 (named Duchess) and my T-9 (named DoubleDutch) on the magnificent San Francisco hills and valleys. From the bottom of California Street to the top of Nob Hill, I rode a 25% (400 feet) grade, in 2nd gear/Turbo in 15 minutes! - and "reached halfway to the stars"!!! If only we could get to 50% E-bikes, 30% public transit, 20% private autos, and reach our vision zero goal. Can Gazelle help us get there?? I'm in...
