Koninklijke Gazelle

For some time, Gazelle has been collaborating with the world-famous Italian design studio Giugiaro Design to create the e-bike of the future – the Gazelle N°1. The carbon and aluminium model weighs just 25.5 kilos and offers the perfect combination of speed, comfort and connectivity. During development of the Gazelle N°1, the focus was primarily on a smooth, seamless design: for example, the drive and cables of the e-bike should not be visible under any circumstances. As a result, the body panel had to be screwed together without leaving recognisable connection points. The connection also had to decouple any vibrations which might occur while the e-bike was being used. The cover needed to be easy to remove during maintenance or a battery change.
