Stolen Gazelle Bikes: UK Frame-Number Check (Free)
Last updated
Quick answer
Gazelle frame numbers are stamped into the frame, commonly on the head tube or near the bottom bracket. As a premium Dutch e-bike and town-bike brand, Gazelles are high-value theft targets, so match the frame number to a receipt and run it through Cyclesite's free lookup for an instant UK check against police records, stolen-bike databases and community reports.
Where Gazelle stamps the frame number
Gazelle stamps the frame number into the frame, commonly on the head tube or near the bottom bracket depending on the model, so check both areas. The frame number is what stolen-bike databases use, and on e-bikes it is separate from the motor and battery serials.
Gazelle on the UK used market
Gazelle is a premium Dutch marque known for comfortable e-bikes and town bikes such as the Ultimate, Arroyo and Medeo, which command high used prices. That value makes them a theft target, so confirm the frame number against a receipt and check the battery and motor before paying.
