Gazelle Medeo T9 Classic Review: A Package of Nice Features

You can’t get the Gazelle Medeo T9 Classic because it isn’t available for direct-to-consumer selling. But by visiting its official website, you can find your best bike shop. Here, you can get one or have it shipped there for assembly with an expected two-month checkup.




How’s the Bike?


This bike has a typical design pattern. The Medeo T9 classic model merely comes in a low step-through edition along with an SR suspension fork, classic lines, and a complete chain guard to prevent your clothes from dirt. This model includes internally routed cables all around. The Medeo T9 Classic model comes in three different sizes for different size riders. Plus, it is available in three rich color variants such as Georgia Peach, Ivory, and Jeans Blue.


How are the Other Components of This Bike?


Gazelle Medeo model uses the Magura hydraulic brakes. These hydraulic rim brakes are well known for excellent speed-braking power with low maintenance. It doesn’t include any wire to stretch over time and provides sufficient modulation and control. The powerful rear rack encompasses the battery to protect it and is available with an elastic strap system which is very useful.


The handlebars of the T9 Classic model possess a good, comfortable sweep back with ergonomic grips. Plus, it also has an adjustable stem that enables you to switch your ride posture from completely upright to a bit more aggressive.

However, the Medeo T9 Classic bike is specially designed for commuters, but this bike is also a good option for those who run errands or people who just plain ride for enjoyment. This bike has sufficient power to ride in hilly areas. So, if you are a hilly area dweller (even for San Francisco), this is surely going to fit into the budget.

How’s the Ride?


When it comes to the riding experience, you need to adjust the bike to make it fit for you. It just takes a few minutes with a pair of hex keys. After dialing, we observed that to obtain an adequate leg extension, you need to put the seat high enough to make standing on the floor a tip-toes-only condition.


Additionally, it comprises a Bosch Active Line Plus motor, which is quiet, smooth, and sturdy. And that offers ample support to every level and topping off at 275% faster in Turbo mode. With adequate inflation (50-60 psi) and 1.6-inch tires, there’s a bit of rolling resistance.


And its frame includes a top tube and a downtube that parallels it strongly, and similarly, it has an abundance of flex in the frame. It’s observable while riding this bike. Even though you have to make some compromises, noting the weight of the battery and not keeping it in the way of the low-step frame, will surely improve your riding experience.
