Gazelle Bike as Leasingbikes

Gazelle is as typically Dutch as cycling itself. Anyone who rides a Gazelle company bike knows exactly what they are getting: an e-bike or city bike of robust quality, with an intelligent design and low weight. And just as certain: a fixed and competitive monthly fee, including insurance and maintenance. After more than 130 years, the family-owned company still builds its bikes in Dieren, in the east of the Netherlands, producing around 300,000 bikes every year using the latest production techniques and the highest standards. Around 25 skilled workers are involved in the production of each bike. The pursuit of top quality pays off. Gazelle bicycles have received numerous awards, from “good industrial design” to “best durability test.”

Even big bicycle brands start small. The history of Gazelle begins in 1892, when postal worker Willem Kölling from the Dutch village of Dieren imports a single bicycle from England. Shortly after the turn of the century, Kölling and his partner begin building their own bicycles under the name Gazelle. The name comes about by chance when a young gazelle jumps past them during a walk in the Veluwe. Gazelle grew and Kölling's family members supported production. The bicycle brand proved to be innovative and introduced, among other things, the tandem (1935), the drum brake, and the cross frame. The company also gained notoriety through the comic strip “Piet Pelle on his Gazelle.” In the mid-1950s, the millionth Gazelle rolls off the production line and Gazelle becomes the market leader in the Netherlands. In 1992, during its centenary celebrations, the family business becomes the only bicycle brand in the Netherlands to receive the title ‘Royal’. In 2005, the first of many e-bikes is built: the Gazelle Easy Glider with electronic pedal assistance.

Gazelle offers a wide variety of bicycles. Gazelle's well-known e-bike models include the versatile Chamonix, the modern and comfortable Avignon, and the powerful Grenoble. And what about the Ultimate? It's the best Gazelle has to offer, making it a great company bike. Gazelle also has great city bikes in its range with the Esprit and Classic models.
