About Gazelle
For more than 130 years Gazelle has produced the highest-quality, most comfortable, lightweight bikes possible. Our focus on thoughtful design and technical innovation are inspired by our love of cycling, and a belief that bicycles should be a part of daily life. Our bikes feature low step-through frames to allow easy use by everyone, powerful and reliable mid-drive motors to get you where you need to go, and come complete with everything you need such as fenders, racks, lights, bells, locks, and kickstands.
Here at Gazelle, we believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the ride, and we make that our mission, every day.
Royal Dutch Gazelle
Royal Dutch Gazelle employs around 450 people worldwide. At our factory in Dieren, the Netherlands, we produce over 300,000 bikes a year. Quality has been at the forefront since our founding in 1892, which is why Gazelle is a marketleader in the Netherlands. More recently, in 1996, Gazelle’s production process was certified to the ISO-9001 standard.
We are proud of our “Royal” title, which was awarded to us by Princess Margriet in honor of our 100th anniversary in 1992. This distinction further serves to cement our commitment to innovation and our pursuit to make cycling more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.
Dutch Design
At Gazelle, we produce bikes of unique quality and appearance with a minimum of weight and maximum comfort. Our mission is to make cycling easy and fun for everyone. This is why we strive to continue to promote smart Dutch design and technical innovation. Dutchies are probably the most critical customer of all when it comes to bikes. Therefore, we are confident that our bikes deliver exactly what cyclists around the world dream of.
History of Gazelle Bikes
