Our story
Bikes made in the Netherlands
Our passion for cycling started over 130 years ago and we never stopped creating comfortable bicycles that are build to last. We are always thinking about how our design can be smarter and the technology of our ebikes even more innovative. Gazelle makes about 300,000 bicycles a year. Would you like to see how?
History
Royal Dutch Gazelle was founded in 1892. This marked the beginning of the Gazelle 'Rijwielfabriek', located at the very same spot where it stands proudly to this day: Dieren, Gelderland, the Netherlands. Worldwide, about 750 employees work every year to make 300,000 bikes. Gazelle is the market leader in the Netherlands.
Why choose Gazelle?
Ride like the Dutch is a new way to ride your bicycle: in an upright, comfortable position with no back strain. This also represents an open attitude towards the world around you and the people in it. So it’s not only about comfort, it’s about attitude too. And who else can show you how to ride like the Dutch than the premium Dutch bicycle brand?
When it comes to the evolution of the Dutch bike, we at Gazelle have not only been along for the ride, we led the way. So, if you want to truly ride like the Dutch, ringing your bell, wearing your street clothes, transporting anything from groceries to kids and using e-power to make steep hills feel as flat as Holland, a Royal Dutch Gazelle is the bicycle for you.
