Royal Dutch Gazelle North AmericaReviews of gazellebikes.com

The test ride on the Arroyo Elite C7 sold me after a few other rides of other brands. It's a smooth ride and a solid piece of equipment. The style and color were appealing from the start. The ride sold me! I call it the Volvo of bikes. I still love my 1992 Cannondale H400 for daily trip around town. They get along fine in my garage:)

J’adore mon gazelle arroyo c8. Confort, facilité d’utilisation, sécurité et amplement performant pour répondre à mes besoins. Je désirais aussi un vélo VAE pas trop lourd pour que je puisse le monter moi-même sur le support avec une rampe. Je suis une femme de presque 80 ans et je compte l’utiliser encore longtemps pour des randonnées de 50 à 70 kilomètres.

After loving being an endurance cyclist and bike commuter up to 60 miles round trip, this 72 year old decided to purchase a T10+. Low back issues and a future knee replacement hinted it was time. I continue to ride my carbon bikes, but I'm realizing how this bike can be used in different ways. Firstly, I've replaced the 11x36 cassette with an 11x46. It allows me to push up steep climbs in eco giving me a more natural cadence using less power. It's fun and impressed me on how much exercise it allows. Secondly, I use it to run errands. It's more enjoyable for me to ride my t10+ to a destination, rather than drive. I have it set up as a touring bike hoping to use it it in that way soon. I purchased an extra battery for future long rides. While I continue to think of new uses for my bike, I'll enjoy the fun of just riding it.

Early thoughts on a great bike. I have the Eclipse C380+ HMB 55" orange version in the UK. I'm really pleased with it. I like the Enviolo gear hub stepless gears, BUT it is significantly noisier when the motor is on. There is an electrical whine from the motor which stops when it's ridden when the electric motor is turned off. It is not very loud, but when people compliment the belt drive as being silent, it is a shame to have that motor noise! I have ridden other ebikes, which are whine free under load. The noise will not bother you in town but just might in the country. The GPS battery is supposed to last 10 days, but it did only 2 days recently when the main battery was out (This seems to have improved). Rear tyre specification should be changed to a more puncture proof one. The GPS tracker is a yearly subscription service, 1st year free. Overall, though, I have no regrets. This is a positive review about all the other features. It ticks loads of boxes, and I hope to remain envy free when I see other people's purchases. I'm just giving some context. The charger is not compatible with most earlier Bosch models :-(

I've owned my Gazelle Eclipse now for a little over three weeks and so far, I absolutely love it. I have already put 230 miles on the bike in that time. I'm a 69 year old, lifelong daily cyclist who has experienced knee problems and had not ridden for the better part of a year, so I thought it might be time for an eBike. The Eclipse has got me back on the road in a big way and I'm getting plenty of exercise too! I might also add that I own several very well made non electric Dutch bikes and the Gazelle Eclipse is by far a superior machine in every regard. I wish I would have invested in a Gazelle sooner.

This is a comfortable and powerful ebike and overall I am happy with it. Unfortunately, I've had several problems with it that has caused me to take it back to the dealer. First off, I don't think the bike was assembled well nor was it prepared for delivery when I took possession. There was glue residue on the fenders and the forks from wrapping during shipment that was not removed prior to delivery. Additionally, the derailleur was not set up correctly causing the chain to slap. No one really explained all the features of the bike at delivery. On two separate occasions the bike would either not turn on or would turn on then turn off almost immediately. Once this happened when I was 15 miles from home. The service tech found issues with the battery and a plug missing from the bottom of the motor. The central issue was a communication error. Hopefully, they have it fixed. I've had two other ebikes (Trek and Cannondale) that I rode over 3,000 miles each and never had a single issue. While the Gazelle is the more powerful and comfortable of the three e-bikes I've owned, it has been the least reliable. If had it to do over again, I would likely revisit Trek for a comparably outfitted e-bike.

My wife and I didn't do a lot of comparison between the various E-Bikes on the market, we shopped locally with a dealer who has been dealing Gazelle bicycles for years and with his knowledge and confidence in the Gazelle product line. It took no time to convince us that the Gazelle bicycles were a great fit for us. Within 3 months from purchase to parking the bikes for the season, we each put on more than 750 miles. These were the right bike for us, and we like passing on our satisfaction with others in terms of product endorsement.

I got my Gazelle late last November and, living in Maine, the weather has not made it possible to ride any bike. 🙂 The first 2 short rides were great and I look forward to the weather getting warmer (in the 40’s 👍🏻) and taking my Gazelle out often. 🙂
