Gazelle Medeo T9 City e-bike review: A steady Dutch ride in lots of sizes
Briefly

The Gazelle Medeo T9 City e-bike presents a solid choice for new e-bike riders, focusing on comfort and utility rather than speed or advanced features. While it lacks the high-end components of pricier models, it provides essential features such as automatic electric assist shifting and a reliable Bosch motor. Costing $2,600, it's positioned as an economical entry into the Bosch mid-drive category, equipped with practical accessories like fenders, a substantial rack, and an integrated lock. It's well-suited for urban commuting and casual rides.
The Medeo T9 City isn't trying to dominate the road; it just wants to get you where you're going.
Given its hill-smoothing motor, wide range of sizes, stable ride feel, and the backing of known bike brands, you could do much worse than a Gazelle.
The bike is almost fully kitted out, with custom fenders and chainguard, a substantial rack, lights, an AXA "cafe" rear wheel lock, and even a bell.
It's one of the more affordable entry points into the Bosch mid-drive motor, but it isn't low-cost at $2,600.
