Great bike at a good price
I've had this bike for almost 3 weeks now, and I'm very happy with it! I've cycled about 175 km with it so far, and it rides nicely. I also find it convenient that you never have to turn the lights on or off, which also saves hassle.

Kei nice sturdy thing, which does not stand out too much and bikes and shifts smoothly.
This is a really lovely bike. I was looking for something that doesn't stand out too much (because then there is less chance of it being stolen :) Rides very smoothly and the sitting position is better than the old city bike I used to ride. The headlamp is nicely integrated, so this time it couldn't be ripped off in a crowded bike shed. I did have to tape up the wire of the rear light, but the light itself sits nicely between the iron of the luggage rack. All in view of daily parking in a crowded bike park g where no one is watching to see if it damages another bike. I.e. is definitely going to be impact-resistant. And a big advantage is that it is very light. With pain in my heart I said goodbye to my student bike, but after two weeks of cycling on the esprit T7 I feel I have entered a new phase of life

Fantastic city bike that rides smoothly, is fast and feels comfortable. Ideal for everyday use
I use the Gazelle Esprit T7 as a city bike in Amsterdam and am very satisfied. The bike rides smoothly, feels light and the automatic lighting is really a plus. No more worries about batteries or old-fashioned dynamos. The saddle is comfortable and the brakes respond quickly and reliably. With me, the gearing was not properly adjusted upon delivery, but a short visit to the bike shop fixed that immediately. It could well be that this was only the case with my copy, as everything else works perfectly. Thanks to the lightweight design and the 7 gears, you can set a good pace. On some stretches, I effortlessly overtake e-bikers who are barely pedalling. That still gives a nice feeling. It's just a bike you enjoy getting on.

Tough, sturdy and stylish.
Try finding a better or more beautiful bike in this class. Beautifully finished with the integrated headlight and aerodynamic rims, lighter than its competitors, a matt grey, stylistic frame with matt black mudguards, bars and a super comfortable saddle. Tough, sturdy and stylish.

Fantastische aankoop
Ik wilde graag een stadsfiets met zeven versnellingen zonder al te veel poespas. Ik geloof niet dat er een betere fiets is dan deze.
