We\u2019re excited to share this very special rider story from\u00a0Gary E. of Chesterfield, MO.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi<\/strong><\/strong> Gary, tell us about your Gazelle? Which model do you have and how long have you had it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I own the Gazelle Ultimate T10 HMB<\/a>, which I’ve had for over a year now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How has owning a Gazelle changed the way you live?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gazelle Ultimate T10 ownership has energized my desire to cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long have you been riding and is this your first ebike?<\/strong> How do you use your Gazelle–for commuting, errands, fitness, fun–or all of the above?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have cycled most of my life, but this is the first time on an ebike. I’m a 77 year old male in good health, and with my Gazelle ebike, I should remain in good health (and at the same time have loads of fun cycling). I cycle 15 miles on various trails about 3 times per week and walk a couple of miles on the off days. I ride primarily on an open (usually windy) plain. Half of the trip is usually directed into a headwind of 8-15 mph. With electric assist the Gazelle Ultimate T10<\/a> offers, I can regulate how much of a challenge I feel up to when cycling against the wind by adjusting the gear ratio as well as the assist setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your thoughts about the role of cycling and eBikes in a more sustainable future?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can’t beat an ebike for turning back time when the air was clean, healthy and clear. However, there is a safety gap for bikers the requires much more needed legislation and construction to provide a safer cycling environment, so contact your local, state and federal representative and push for safer cycling infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What has been your greatest or most memorable adventure with your Gazelle?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would have to be my first ride on the Missouri Katy Trail, an abandoned railroad track line into a trail repurposed exclusively for walkers and cyclists, excluding all internal combustion modes vehicles. Riding on this tree-lined converted trail, flanked by the beautiful wide Missouri River soaking up the beautiful fall foliage has to rank highest in my touring portfolio so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
