Choosing the right bike frame size is crucial for a comfortable and enjoyable riding experience. The frame size is determined by your height, and we provide a range of sizes to accommodate different riders. Refer to the chart below for the height ranges associated with each frame size. Keep in mind that this is a starting point, and other factors may influence your frame size selection. If you're unsure, we recommend reaching out to have one of our staff to help you. Bike Frame Size Chart:

FAQs about Frame Sizes: Why do you recommend multiple bike frame sizes? We offer different frames in various sizes to cater to individual preferences and body types. For instance, the Gazelle Medeo is available in sizes 45, 50, and 55 cm, while the Gazelle Ultimate comes in sizes 46, 53, and 57 cm. By providing multiple options, we ensure that riders of average height can find a suitable frame size. Additionally, your ideal frame size depends on factors such as the type of bike (e.g., e-bike or city bike), your inseam measurement, sitting position, and whether you prefer a sprung saddle. Personal preference plays a role as well. We strongly recommend test riding different frame sizes to experience the variations firsthand.
Can I measure my frame size myself? Yes, you can calculate your frame size by measuring your inseam. Here's how: - Grab a tape measure.
- Take off your shoes and socks and place your feet 20 cm apart.
- Measure (or have someone measure) the distance from your crotch to the ground.
- Multiply this distance by 0.68 to determine your ideal frame size.
- If your bike has a suspension seat post, subtract 4 from the frame size.
Where can I find the frame size of my Gazelle bike? The frame size of your Gazelle bike can be found on a sticker near the bottom bracket, above the lock, or on the tube under the saddle.
