Gazelle Makki Urban Electric Cargo Bike

A practical and accessible electric cargo bike designed for everyday family use and city riding.

About the Makki range

The Makki range is Gazelle’s family-focused cargo platform. It’s designed for transporting children safely and comfortably, with a stable frame and protective box.

Compared to standard e-bikes, the Makki is built specifically for carrying passengers and everyday loads with confidence.

What makes the Urban different

The Urban is the most straightforward model in the Makki range. It uses simple hub gearing and a reliable Bosch motor, keeping the setup easy to use and accessible.

Compared to the Load and Travel, it focuses on simplicity rather than advanced gearing or premium features.
