How has owning a Gazelle changed the way you live?
Well, I smile a lot more. I bought this ebike so I could more regularly commute to work (13 miles each way). With my traditional bike I found there were too many excuses to commute via bike (e.g. takes too long, physically tiring, too complicated, too hot/cold/wet). All ..read more

Save Time & Money
E-bikes allow you to cover longer distances and navigate through traffic more smoothly than traditional bikes. Ebikes are generally faster compared to walking, public transportation, and sometimes driving depending on car traffic in your city. In addition, they require minimal maintenance, and the cost of electricity to charge the battery is significantly lower than the cost of filling your gas tank. Looking for a speedy, cost-effective solution? Meet your match: the Gazelle Ultimate T10.

We’re excited to share this rider story from Chandra E. of Lewisville.
How has owning a Gazelle changed the way you live?
Before I got the Gazelle too, I was bicycle commuting to work. However, in September 2021, I changed jobs and the new office was 11 miles from home (one way) as opposed to the 6.5 mile commute before then. Furthermore, the new job location required riding a bit faster alongside heavy, fast-moving traffic. So, I decided to look for an electric bicycle which would make the ride less tenuous. When I test rode the Gazelle, I just fell in love with it. It was equipped with ..read more
