How to Carry a Water Bottle on a Gazelle Medeo T10+?
There's a very good chance that I'm going to buy a Gazelle Medeo T10+ Mid Step soon. These look like excellent bikes and it will take some stress of of my surgically repaired knee for longer rides that I can't do on my conventional bikes yet. I definitely want to find a good way to carry a water bottle or two in addition to a trunk bag or pannier for carrying office stuff or camera gear.
Here's a link to Gazelle's page about the bike: Medeo T10+ I'm pretty sure the braze-ons on the inside of the frame are for mounting another battery, not for a water bottle cage. What ways have people found to conveniently carry a water bottle on their eBikes? I'd ideally like to be able to get a drink while I'm riding and not have to carry water in a bag.
Thanks!

The T10+ is a great bike you will be happy with it. Bosch is good reliable stuff and the T10+ is decently set up for the price. I love the bike and sold a whole bunch of them back in the day.

The description of the Medeo says that it can use an additional battery and I assumed that the three "bumps" inside the downtube were for mounting that battery, not for a water bottle. As long as I can get a bottle on board, I'll be fine.

They do sell the kit to adapt their bike for a second battery in this case a Bosch Powerpack. If you are considering dual battery, go Riese and Müller for so many reasons but especially in this case dual battery set up out of the box from the factory. The Gazelle kit has to be installed at the dealer and will work the same as the R+M but it is not an integrated battery so less clean looking and no ability to go above 1000wh (for instance my bike is 1250)

Look at SKS water bottle mount adapters on Amazon. I have used both the $11.95 & $14.95 ones very effectively, not only for water bottle cages, but for mounting controllers on DIY bikes.

We have a step through Gazelle and don't want to give up the step through area for a water bottle, not that there are any braze ons there anyway. We use a handlebar feed bag for a water bottle, find that it works great. Easy retrieval and replacement of the bottle without fighting to get it back in a low mounted traditional bottle holder.
