Gazelle Medeo T9 City: current CA and US specifications
Manufacturer evidence checked October 10, 2026. This record covers the advertised low-step City with Bosch Smart System and 400 Wh battery. Model year is unconfirmed; it does not cover every historical Medeo or the non-City T9. This is researched specification guidance, not our hands-on test or ranking.

Why our browser does not list 50.5 lb as transport weight
Gazelle explicitly excludes the battery from its listed mass. We do not know the battery-included mass for your exact size and accessory setup, so the comparison shows weight as unavailable. Weigh the complete setup you plan to lift or carry. A battery-removed figure is useful only when the bike and rack instructions permit that transport configuration.
No verified cargo-only payload or shared height range is adopted here. Choose a frame by dealer fit, reach and stand-over checks rather than assuming that every low-step size fits the same rider. A rack’s rating does not establish the whole bike’s carrying allowance.
400 Wh now does not explain every older review
The current exact City tables state 400 Wh. Gazelle’s US family page distinguishes the City from the non-City T9. We use the current City configuration rather than transferring a different model’s battery figure.
Dan Cavallari’s January 2025 Tom’s Guide review reports a different battery specification; its exact pack is not matched to today’s listing. Kevin Purdy’s May 2025 Ars Technica review describes a 400 Wh test bike. Both are historical riding perspectives, not our tests or proof that every current bike is identical. We do not infer a cause for the discrepancy.
Before buying or planning a commute
- Confirm the City name, frame size, Bosch system, pack label and regional assistance setting.
- Try your usual hill and fit needs; torque and battery capacity alone cannot guarantee the ride.
- Ask about replacement parts, local Bosch service and the exact owner instructions.
- Plan range from route, load, reserve and energy assumptions; avoid treating advertised mode-specific distances as guarantees.
