Royal Dutch Gazelle North America Reviews 

I bought my bike for my 60th birthday. It’s been nothing but joy to me since I purchased it. The range is wonderful. And it has allowed me to go places or I would not be able to go. If I have one complaint it’s that the bike is a little heavy other than that I would highly recommended for the price and the value.

my bike has given me an independence i havent had in 2 years. i am recovering from cancer and the neuropathy has been severe

Adjustment
The Gazelle staff gave me great advice on how to adjust my handlebars.

I am a 75 year-old recreational/fitness rider. After owning three Treks, a Giant and a Specialized over several years, my dealer steered me towards a Gazelle T10+ and I was immediately impressed. The difference in quality, balance, ride and handling characteristics were immediate and the attention to fit and finish is excellent. And the best news... my new T10+ is an absolute beast on those hills that, until now, used to ruin my ride and leave me exhausted. I can now stay out longer, ride further and enjoy the experience.

Well built bike. Closest one I could find to a sturdy, reliable European “market bike.”

Bought the Arroyo C8 Elite which is a Class 1. The fit and finish is excellent. Grips match the seat in a brown leather look. Fenders etc…very nice e-bike.

They had trouble getting gears all going well . Took it to another bike shop and fixed in a flash for free

Love the bike. Turning the light on/off is not a simple thing so I leave it on all the time. Better design would be great.

I've recently purchased a Gazelle Ultimate T10 and would like to offer some comments. First, I want to say that this bike is without a doubt the best bike (electric or manual) I've ever owned. The quality of the build is exceptional and the design and balance are superb. I test rode two Treks and a Giant prior to the Gazelle and none of them matched Gazelle's feel and quality. After riding approximately 500 miles, I have two comments I'd like to make for your consideration in later builds. They are: A redesign of both the rubber charging cover and the chain guard. I would suggest making the charging cover out of a hard plastic with a spring closing hinge and soft rubber seal. The current flexible, soft rubber cover does not provide adequate protection from moisture and the small rubber post insert design to keep it closed is fussy and hard to secure. Regarding the chain guard, I’ve removed it several times to service the chain and it's apparent that the plastic retention clips are insufficient and will not stand up to repeated removal and replacement. Additionally, the chain guard itself would be of better quality if it were made of the same material as the fenders. Thanks for listening.

I bought a Medeo T9 from my LBS and it is a joy. I gave up biking due to spinal issues and after traveling in Europe and seeing so many e bikes, I had to get on board. I tried several brands and styles and couldn't be happier with my Gazelle. The T9 feels zippy, light, and all-around fun. It makes me happy to run errands and is the cutest bike ever!

I joined the e-bike family reluctantly but at 81, decided it was time. I bought a slightly used 2021 Gazelle C8 step through model in early July and four months and 3000 kms down the road, I wish that my "time" had come a lot earlier. It has been an absolutely wonderful experience. Hilly terrain and/or windy conditions which had more and more been giving me an excuse to take the day off are no longer an issue.
As to the bike itself, I cannot compare it with other products since this is my only e-bike experience but I can say without reservation that it has no faults. I'm about a 40 to 50 km trip driver and my battery consistently predicts around 125 km before a charge is required so no issue there. The seat is more comfortable than the one in my living room. Mechanically, it's like that energizer bunny - no issues. The electronics are quiet. The shifting is smooth, easy and responsive and you can sweat or not - your choice.
Something I think to do with age was causing me trouble lifting my leg over the bar of my touring bike, so the step through style is a welcome feature and also the more upright position is an improvement.
I could go on but you get the idea. I am biking more and enjoying it more. What else is there?

Love my Gazelle! It is so smooth and easy to operate! Shifting gears is easy with one hand. The battery charglasts for me a long time. Love the extra boost hen shifting to max mode to get up a hill. I’m in my late 60s and this has taken years off my life!

Solid, well built bike. Easy to ride. Gets lots of compliments from bystanders.

My wife and I both just got the Avignon C380. We love the Bosch system and especially the internal CVT transmission. It's so smooth and quiet and easy to shift. The other features we really like are the belt drive, integrated lights, adjustable handlebars, the fact there is no derailer. It just has everything we wanted in an upright comfort bike. This bike is the Cadillac of all bikes!

This is my 3rd ebike. My first two were Trek. My latest Trek has 8,000 miles and I wasn’t planning to replace until I hit 10,000.
However, I saw the Gazelle and liked the new Bosch system with the gears in the hub and shifting by turning the grip. What a game changer, love the silent shifting! The bike overall is well designed and at least comparable to my Trek. Great bike, highly recommend!

I absolutely LOVE the EBike! Definitely makes riding more pleasurable! I don't worry about the wind or the hills.
I have done several lengthy rides, 70 miles, 50 miles, and 45 miles and my battery is a bit of a disappointment. I read about the battery life of a 400 watt and now it makes sense how long it should last on these rides.
I have been searching for a higher watt battery and am unable to find a compatible replacement at a higher watt. I have also contacted Gazelle concerning this matter and would like some information or a price on a higher watt battery or something I can upgrade. I want to ride longer distances, of course, but need a longer battery life.
PLEASE, any information would be helpful.
I also did not have a shock absorber seat post and i noticed on the other Gazelle bikes online that the seat post was standard with the bike. It would have been exceptionally awesome to have had that in place. I feel when paying over 2000$ there should be easier access to batteries, accessories, replacement parts, seats, seat posts, and other bicycle parts for this particular EBike.
The cost of bags and bicycle racks is extremely expensive and not everyone can afford those prices so we have to improvise.
I would absolutely love information on some solutions!
THANK YOU

Bike display went blank after my first ride and nobody has been able to fix it. Their dealer network is clueless. It's been in the shop for weeks.

What a great bike! I love the way I can go up steep hills. No more stopping to rest halfway up! The T10 is great for trails too. When the weather is nice, I have no reason to use my car! This was a smart purchase!
