I recently bought a Gazelle Medeo T10+… I recently bought a Gazelle Medeo T10+ HMB. Let me tell you, I LOVE THIS BIKE!!!!!! I bought it to replace my motorcycle and I don’t regret it one bit. The quality is top notch. It’s a pleasure to ride. Worth every penny. I debated and researched for months. So damn happy with my decision.

Research, research, research. After two months of research, I had specs for every brand ebike in an Excel spreadsheet. My first precondition was mid-drive; I did not want a rear hub motor. My criteria were power, performance, build quality, dealer network, post-sale service, warranty, and finally, weight. Gazelle provided the best value overall and that's what I went with. After 4 years I'm 100% pleased with my choice.

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.

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.

Quality, convenience, toughness and comfort Gazelle makes quality bikes to fit the mind and body. My ultimate C380 is full of quality components, an easily shiftable and maintenance free hub, and classic style and comfort. I’ve only got 50 miles on it so far, but am looking forward to all my future adventures. It’s exactly what I needed to get out and explore.
