Gazelle In The News

"With a rich history in the cycling industry, the Gazelle Ultimate T10 lives up to the expectations of its predecessors."

"This ebike is for everyone!"

"Looking for an everyday e-bike that goes the extra mile? Gazelle’s Ultimate C380+ HMB is — as the name suggests — the ultimate electric town bike. With the best of nearly everything on board, from Enviolo/Nuvinci’s continuously variable transmission to a maintenance-free Gates Carbon Drive belt system to a powerful, capable Bosch mid-drive motor, the Gazelle puts together all the pieces in a way we haven’t encountered with many other bikes." 

"This bike has so many highlights, it’s hard to know where to start. Capable and powerful—even when climbing steep hills or carrying heavy loads—Gazelle’s Medeo T10 was my top choice for running errands, casual exercise, and weekend adventures..."

"In this case, the Ultimate C380+ by 125-year-old Dutch bike maker Gazelle boasts state-of-the-art componentry, stout build quality, a clean design and compelling performance – elements that any car enthusiast should appreciate as being representative of a connoisseur’s choice..." 

"When it comes to design legacy, it’s hard to beat Gazelle Bikes. They’ve been building bicycles for over 130 years, making them one of the oldest bicycle manufacturers in the world..." 

"Wave after wave of cyclists flooded past me as I straddled my borrowed Gazelle e-bike near the entrance of my Amsterdam hotel and entered the slipstream. I’d seen photos of this cycling nirvana, of course, but to actually be in the middle of it myself was almost overwhelming..."

"Gazelle wisely looks to bike-centric Dutch traditions for inspiration for the Arroyo C8 HMB Elite, our Best Overall pick. Its low, step-through design makes it easy for riders of all sizes to hop on board, and it’s adjustable to suit those riders once they’re pedaling away..."

"Gazelle bikes have a long history and stellar reputation in their native Netherlands. This model reaches a top speed of 28mph, but it does not have a throttle, only pedal-assist, making it a Class 3 bike. The unique mid-drive motor has the benefit of being able to adjust torque and power..."

"Back in April 2020, a couple of months into the COVID-19 pandemic, I splurged on a CityZen T9 e-bike from Dutch bicycle giant Gazelle. It turned out to be the most enjoyable form of recreation I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve pedaled it for a cumulative 6,000 miles around the Bay Area so far..."

The Gazelle Arroyo C8 HMB Elite is best for riders looking for a sleek, comfortable, Dutch-style e-bike with a reliable motor, and lots of adjustability and comfort features.

The Arroyo line of electric bicycles, which includes the Arroyo C7 and Arroyo C8, is a comfort e-bike line that likely aligns with the image in your head of a typical Dutch bike.

Gazelle Bikes today announces the relaunch of its iconic Arroyo family of leisure/lifestyle ebikes in the North American market, with new iterations of the pedal-assist bikes now shipping to the Dutch brand’s network of retailers here.

A premium ride experience at a more affordable price. “Premium” is certainly an apt descriptor for our experience riding the 125-year-old Dutch bike maker’s electrics, consistently wowing us with the ride quality and drop-dead good looks that make their prices seem not at all like an overreach.

The Gazelle Ultimate C380+ is possibly the ultimate commuter e-bike that will have you effortlessly zipping along at up to 28mph. Great accessories and smooth motor assist make getting around town an absolute breeze. 

"This bike has a huge list of features that differentiate it from typical hybrid commuter e-bikes...The cargo light is integrated within the rear rack. I love how clean this looks." - CNET

“Gazelle thinks about all the little details, so the fenders provide full coverage (so you don’t get wet feet from tire spray on a wet day); there’s both a front and rear light; and even a bell. Broad gearing ensures that you can climb any apex and won’t be spun out over 30mph, bombing down a hill." 

“The Ultimate C380 embraces what it is. If you want to pedal from A to B in comfort, ease, and—I dare say—style, this is one of the best all-around ebikes I’ve tried..."

“In April, I bought a CityZen T9, an e-bike from Gazelle, a 128-year-old Dutch firm that’s a household name in its home market. Over the rest of 2020, rather than devolve further into couch potatohood, I’ve done more than 1,800 miles of e-biking..." 

“The Ultimate T10+ from Gazelle ticked every box about what we want from a commuter ebike: quick acceleration and high top assist speed..."

“Gazelle absolutely nailed ride comfort and stability here. I immediately felt at home aboard the Ultimate C380, whether cruising long bike paths or..." 

“We covered the release of the Medeo T10+ a couple of weeks ago, and it caught our attention for two reasons: 1) We had an absolute blast testing the Gazelle Ultimate T10+..."

“But what I’ll probably miss most is the reliability, range, and sheer hill-chomping torque of the Bosch Performance line Speed system. The T10+ is a truly great commuter."

“Right off the bat, the build quality, the thought, the design, and components on the bike make it clear the Gazelle Ultimate T10+ is a premium bike...”

“It’s a sturdy, well-constructed, rattle-free, reliable bike that feels solid on the road, lets you ride no-handed with confidence, takes corners like a champ, and flies through tight spaces without slowing down.”

“Some bikes stir your heart from the first blush. Just pure eye candy. That’s what I felt after unboxing and assembling the Gazelle Ultimate T10+...”

“Whether it's the coronavirus crisis or the climate crisis, e-bikes can be part of the solution. We have been saying for some time that e-bikes will eat cars, that cargo e-bikes will eat SUVs...”

“Gazelle doesn’t just make Dutch-style e-bikes, they make actual Dutch e-bikes. As in, they’re built in Holland. And the company’s latest release...”

“Arrive at work in record time on the sleek CityZen, a relatively sleek e-bike that boasts everything you need and nothing you don’t. Creature comforts include: a front shock, 10-speed Shimano gears and hydraulic disc brakes for responsive stopping...”

“Most gadgets claim to improve your life. Most fail. A new laptop or fancy phone might be fun, but life-changing? Not really. Gazelle’s Ultimate T10 is a different story. This can legitimately make your life better.“

“Most electric bikes look a mess, but not the Gazelle Ultimate T10. It’s a stunner, and the best commuter bike I’ve seen yet. Available in white or red, the Ultimate T10 ebike takes an unexpected road towards beauty."

“It changes everything – how you think about bikes and how you think about cars. I often paraphrase analyst Horace Dediu and say, "E-bikes will eat cars." I have now been riding a Gazelle Medeo e-bike for six months and can report that it's true; it ate my car”

“Best for Cruising: Arrive at work in record time on the sleek CityZen. It has all the creature comforts: a front shock, 10-speed Shimano gears and hydraulic disc brakes for responsive stopping.”

“Since 1953, the IF Design Awards have been given out on an annual basis in an effort to shine a spotlight on amazing breakthroughs in industrial design...This year, one of those winners is a new ebike from Gazelle that took home an award for its outstanding performance.”
