Who is Royal Dutch Gazelle?
Koninklijke Gazelle has been a household name in the Netherlands for more than 130 years. The bike is an essential part of our daily life. We have been making quality bicycles since 1892: light, smart design and innovative.
Gazelle makes e-bikes and city bikes for every type of use. We have a bicycle in our range for everyone. Bikes with a low entry to a fast speed pedelec. Every year around 275,000 bicycles roll out of our factory in Dieren, the Netherlands.
Did you know that about 25 professionals assemble and check every part per bicycle?
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.
Royal predicate
We are proud of our “Royal” title, which was awarded to us by Princess Margriet in honour of our 100th anniversary in 1992, a distinction which further serves to cement our moral duty to continue to innovate, as well as remaining at the forefront with smart inventions to make cycling more enjoyable and easier.
Dutch-Design
At Gazelle, we produce bicycles of unique quality and appearance with a minimum of weight and maximum comfort. Our mission is to make cycling easy and fun for everyone. This is why we strive to continue to promote smart Dutch design and technical innovation. Dutchies are probably the most critical customer of all when it comes to bikes. Therefore, we are confident that our bikes deliver exactly what cyclists around the world dream of.
History of Gazelle
The 100th anniversary in 1992 coincided with the production of the 8 millionth bicycle. Until then, one million bicycles were delivered every 3 to 4 years. This culminated in Gazelle's existence on April 7, 1999. On this day, Prince Willem-Alexander put the finishing touches on the 10 millionth Gazelle.
Gazelle continued, and on October 31, 2005, the 12 million Gazelle left the factory. On that day, Minister of Transport, Public Works and Water Management Karla Peijs made a personal contribution to the Gazelle Easy Glider: the first Gazelle with electronic pedal assistance.
The 13 millionth Gazelle was produced in 2008 and the 14th million bicycle in December 2012.
This 14 millionth Gazelle was developed by Princess Margriet. As down-to-earth bike repairs as we are, we continue to make safe, comfortable, durable and beautiful bikes.
Which led to the 15 millionth bike in 2018!
