Gazelle Medeo T10

The Gazelle Medeo T10 is a pricier bike, but you get what you pay for, from its excellent hydraulic disc brakes to its powerful Bosch mid-drive motor. It even looks good and performed well in CR’s range testing. That means you can depend on this model to get you down the road without losing electric power too quickly. It’s also easy to pedal without electric power. Aside from its weight, it feels like a conventional bicycle, and both cruising and climbing hills are easy with the electric power switched off. The easy-to-see LCD display screen is bordered by large up and down buttons for changing quickly between four levels of assist (not including “off”). So on steeper grades, it’s simple to switch to a higher level of assist to keep speed up as you climb. The riding position is relaxed and comfortable and similar to that of many mountain bikes—the rider leans slightly forward. Front suspension forks soak up most bumps in the road, and the frame geometry does the rest to ensure a smooth, comfortable ride. Thanks to a battery that’s integrated into the bottom of the downtube, keeping the bike’s center of gravity low, handling is stable and inspires confidence in deep turns and steep downhill grades. The T10 is available in three colors—tan, charcoal gray, and light teal—and comes standard with fenders, a rear luggage rack, and built-in front and rear lights.
