Hello - just got an e-bike and wanted to say hi.

[rajron]

Hi first post – from the Valley of the Sun
Just got a Gazelle Ultimate T10+
After so many years on drop bars or low straight bars it was a great riding in the “Dutch Way.” The ride is so luxurious, smooth and quiet!
Here a couple of pictures

Pretty bike!
And everyone knows red is the fastest.
Miles and smiles to you.

Marci Jo: Please tell me as a woman:
Do I see red or orange?

Congrats to rajron!

Nice. Thanks for showing the photos.

Stefan, It is bright tomato reddish orange. I was showing a guy how to connect his battery today, telling him to put the red dot to the back. He was color blind. Not great for working with wire harnesses. I need to solder up a dud Himiway harness next.

Gazelle site is calling it Champion Red. However that lower pic does have an orange color to it. And might depend if my screen/monitor isn’t exact.
Regardless, it’s a good looking bike, especially the step thru. Wonder if it comes as a class 3?

Besides: Red is fasterest

I agree. In the sun, it looks a bit more orange, in the shade a bit more red. I have had a very slight color blindness but for years was a color photography printer/lab tech in a Kodak National Award winning lab and lighting temperature makes a huge difference to color perception.
Very nice bike!

Funny I thought I bought a red bike until I posted a picture of the bike and saw the comments.
I tried to take another picture in less sun light, it looks still a little orange.
It’s like that elusive beauty every time you see her, she has that mystique that will intrigue you; wanting even more.
And, my red, with a tint of orange is fast!

Well, it’s a bit like my Allant in that the lighting can make it look more green or more blue.

Mine is a large frame Aventon Level. I did a lot of research and not unlimited funds. I kept coming back to the Level from a price, feature-set and performance standpoint. I'm not disappointed...really loving it! I live near a state park in Colorado and it allows me to explore areas that I never have before. My wife will be joining me with a medium frame Level step-thru model in the Spring.

That is a gorgeous looking bike. Good luck, have fun and ride safe.

The black battery cover makes a nice colouristic contrast.

congrats to both of you. gazelles seem very practical, like they were made by people who use their bikes a lot. adjustable stem, chain guard, real rack. nice. aventons seem great, too, for a better price point. nice looking, too. these things are so fun!!! they are really great for marriages. my wife and i are spending a lot of fun time together going places and getting excercise. perfect for empty nesters. tim

Welcome. Nice bike. Should be a very fun ride. For the wiring I suggest wrapping tape to give texture and a label.


Great color!

On my tablet it's almost orange. On my PC more red.

Congratulations on your new EBike and welcome to EBR.

Congrats. I just received my new bike last week. I was trying to chose between the Tern HSD and the Gazelle Medeo, debating, debating, then chose a different bike altogether. I will ride it for the second time tomorrow. The Gazelle seemed like the best deal, I love orange bikes, red ones too.
