Just bought a Gazelle (or one for years)? Don't forget to register your bike!

Have you recently had a new Gazelle bought, or have you been driving around happily on your trusty model for years? Then there's one step that a surprising number of people skip: registering your bike based on the frame number.

A simple registration can save you major problems. That's why it's wise to register your Gazelle today with BIKEBAZE — the platform for bike registration and protection against theft.

Why you should register your bike

In the Netherlands, hundreds of thousands of bicycles are stolen every year. Popular brands such as Gazelle are extra popular on the black market. Many stolen bicycles are never found, mainly because they have not been registered as property anywhere.

By registering your bike in the BIKEBAZE database:

• Decide that you are the owner
• Will filing a report be easier?
• When selling, can you safely transfer ownership?
• Can the police or finder lead your bike back to you?
• Help build a national network that prevents bicycle theft

A registered bike is recognisable, traceable and therefore less attractive to thieves.

What do you need for registration?

Registration is easy and fast. All you need is the following:

• The frame number of your Gazelle (usually found on or near the bottom bracket or seat tube)
• Your contact details

Registration is completely free and only takes a few minutes. Click here to register your bike for free.

Extra protection: reduce the risk of theft by 98%

Do you want to go one step further in protecting your bike? BIKEBAZE also offers the SafeTag to:

• An eye-catching, tamper-resistant sticker
• Linked to your database registration
• Up to 98% less chance of theft (based on practical data)
• Clear signal to thieves: this bike has been registered

A SafeTag costs €9.99 and is a small investment for peace of mind.

You can also register older bikes

You don't need to have a new Gazelle. Older models can also be registered, as long as the frame number is legible. Can't you find it? BIKEBAZE is happy to help you get started via this article.
