**Quick answer:** The frame number on a Gazelle bike is usually on the bottom of the down tube near the bottom bracket. On Gazelle e-bikes, check under the down tube above the motor. For the Gazelle Bloom, the frame number is GZ plus 8 digits on a white sticker.

Gazelle frame numbers are usually easier to locate than on some brands. Check the bottom of the down tube near the bottom bracket, or under the down tube above the motor on e-bikes. For Gazelle Bloom service checks, Gazelle says the frame number is printed on a white sticker and consists of GZ followed by 8 digits.

## Start at the bottom of the down tube.

Gazelle puts the frame number on the bottom of the down tube near the bottom bracket. On e-bikes, check under the down tube above the motor.

1. Put the bike somewhere stable and well lit.
2. Check the bottom of the down tube, near the bottom bracket.
3. On e-bikes, check under the down tube just above the motor.
4. Look for a white sticker with the frame number printed on it.
5. Wipe away dirt and use a torch if the sticker is hard to read.
6. Take a clear photo before typing the number into a checker.

### If it is not under the bottom bracket

- The original invoice or dealer paperwork.
- The Gazelle registration record.

## What a Gazelle frame number looks like

On Gazelle Bloom models, the number consists of the letters GZ followed by 8 digits, and the Gazelle checker asks for only the digits. For other Gazelle bikes, use the full frame number shown on the bike and match it with the invoice or dealer paperwork.

## GZ plus 8 digits on the Bloom

On the Gazelle Bloom, the frame number is GZ followed by 8 digits, printed on a white sticker and used for its service-action checker.

For used Gazelle e-bikes generally, the main issue is confusing Bosch system numbers with the Gazelle frame number. Use the frame number for ownership and stolen-bike checks.

## Buying a used Gazelle

A clean-looking bike is not always a safe buy. Before you pay, ask the seller for a clear photo of the frame number and check it against stolen-bike records. You should also ask for:

- The original receipt or proof of purchase.
- The seller’s name matching the receipt where possible.
- Clear photos of the bike from both sides.
- A photo of the frame number.
- Any service history.
- Details of upgrades or replacement parts.

## Bottom line

The quickest place to find a Gazelle frame number is underneath the bike, near the pedals. Look for a stamped code or barcode sticker, copy the full number, then check it before you buy, sell or register the bike. A used Gazelle can be a brilliant buy, but the frame number is the detail that protects you.
