This is by far the coolest bike I’ve ever ridden and am very impressed by the quality and functionality as well. It’s been years since I’ve owned or ridden a bicycle and the mix between electric power and manual cycling has made me want to get on this thing constantly.
The bike comes fairly put together in the box. The only assembly needed is to attach the handle bars, the front wheel, and screw on the pedals. It didn’t take longer than a few minutes. The biggest problem I had was that Swft includes the wrong size hex wrench in the box, so I had to go find one that fit the hand bars.
The build quality of this bike is next level. The black powder coat on the bike is beautiful and everything about it screams high end. The only small issue I found with the build was the rubber flap that charges the charging port tends to pop open often. I could see this being a problem if the weather is rainy. The battery is built into the frame of the bike, which does make the main rail look bigger than a normal bike but I personally like the design choice because there are very few exposed electrical parts and the whole electric motor system blends into the bike very well.
Riding the bike is a blast. You can use it just like any fix gear bike and ride. Then if you want a little extra oomph you can engage the electric motor by turning the throttle like on a dirt bike or you can push the up arrow and the control panel to automatically have the motor assist pedaling. There are three levels with the lowest giving about 20% power of the motor, two giving 70% and three giving 100%. There is also a built in headlight that comes in very handy for night rides. The overall experience is super fun and smooth. I haven’t had a single issue with the bike so far.
The battery lasts forever. I’ve ridden for 10ish miles and still have all bars of battery.
I can’t say enough how fun this bike is. It’s great for getting around town easily. Great to given you a little relief if you bike in super hilly areas or if you just want something that can zip around quickly. Highly recommended.

There is a great deal to like about this bike and a few interesting choices that were made. As a complete package, it is very much as advertised, and everything works great. For starters the biggest points on the list are about its top speed and battery life. It can go 20mph without any trouble and I have no doubt it will get the mileage on the charge as stated with over a dozen miles on the clock so far with no movement from the battery gauge. I like the features on the control panel, it has the battery gauge, odometer, speedometer, and motor assist indicator. You can adjust the electric assist to 3 different levels, turn on and off the headlight, and of course motor power from that panel.
Riding an electric bike is a different type of experience. Depending on the assist level you’re using changes the amount of work you do to keep moving. The throttle is stiffer than I would prefer it takes a fair amount of effort to keep twisting on it for longer periods of time. Turning the assist down means it acts more like a normal gearless bike, otherwise if you want you can have it put the power down for you.
The styling on this bike is great, the battery being built into the frame means it looks fairly normal instead of being so obvious. Assembly was easy just like any other bike I have had in the past. Put on the front wheel, handlebars, seat, and pedals and good to go. It came with most of a charge as well, and topping it off took an hour or so. Charging is convenient, it has a little plug on the side of the frame with a rubber dust cover and the charger itself indicates whether it is charging or full.
Now for the interesting choices. This particular bike has a very large frame and 28” wheels. I am 5’11” and have the seat at the lowest height and I am barely tall enough to get on the bike. Speaking of the seat, I know it is not uncommon for the included saddle to not be the best but this one is abysmal. I could only go a mile before I couldn’t stand it anymore. I have already replaced it with a better one to fix that problem, but it feels like for a bike this price the saddle should be usable at least. Personally, I don’t love 700C tires as they get flats so easily, but they ride smooth on pavement. I also wish it had disc brakes but that is a small nitpick.
Overall, this is a fun bike that has a lot to offer in an attractive package. I am really enjoying the new world of ebikes and what having one brings to the experience of riding. I have had many bikes in my life and this one is the most unique and interesting. I am happy with how it works and would recommend it.
