About the brand ❤️
Gazelle, officially known as Royal Dutch Gazelle, is the Netherlands’ most iconic bicycle manufacturer, founded in 1892 by Willem Kölling and Rudolf Arentsen. Headquartered in Dieren, Gazelle has grown from a small local workshop into a major producer of high-quality bicycles, including traditional city bikes, trekking models, and modern electric bicycles. The company’s Dutch design emphasizes comfort, durability, and practicality for everyday use, making its bikes popular in urban and leisure cycling markets worldwide. Gazelle bikes are built in its historic factory in Dieren, where craftsmanship meets modern production techniques to create hundreds of thousands of bikes annually. In 1992 Gazelle received the royal predicate “Koninklijke” in honor of its century of cycling heritage, and in 2011 it became part of Pon Holdings BV, a Dutch conglomerate with a strong portfolio in mobility and bicycle brands. Today Gazelle blends tradition with innovation, continuing to expand its global presence while staying rooted in Dutch cycling culture and quality standards.
