Royal Dutch Gazelle Orange C8 HMS
To give it's full title, is the e-bike I decided on after 6 years of sitting on the fence. An average length of time for my deliberations, not being one to make rash decisions, especially expensive ones. I am from Yorkshire after all, deep pockets, short arms. I've decided to try and use an ebike full time instead of riding a motorcycle which has been my daily ride for the last 30 years. Bit of a wrench actually but I just don't enjoy it much any more and the cost, although minimal in reality, is beginning to wear thin when compared to the benefits it offers. Lots of my motorbike gear is old and worn and I was looking down the barrel of the best part of £3K to replace everything and get the bike running smoothly again. This money more than covered the cost of a new ebike and as cycle commuting is, on my 9 mile inbound trip, only a few minutes slower and on some days can even beat the motorbike, it seemed like an obvious choice for the job. Normally I ride road bicycle
