    Pretty spot on review I just got my swift zip the day before yesterday. Took a half mile maiden voyage today after work. Pretty sure if it's nice in the morning I'll be riding it to work. Save that gas

    Just got a 2nd hand one from a good friend that had no more need for it. Has 1800 miles on the clock. It's a nice bike to ride! Really stylish imo. It's mainly going to be a commuter bike for my gf so plenty powerful for her.

      Make sure the tires on it are nice and solid with air, had the innertube rip due to the motor power and stopping torque on the tube after awhile keeping the tires as they came stock, also goes a bit faster for longer when you pump em up so they’re hard

      Main issues, headlight wiring has gone bad so I'll have to rewire it, and the shifter is junk. Something broke so it's mostly locked to a single gear. Should be fixable but doesn't hinder riding it. I also upgraded the tubes with thicker inner tubes and a thick tire liner to prevent punctures

    Its not the motor its the controller. How many 500w ebikes stay at 20mph? Not many. Most of them go to 28! First thing i would do is swap out the controller. To me i rather buy an ebike with my favorite frame and then upgrade it. Right now this bike is on amazon for $1000 not bad at all.

  • @astron4606
    @astron4606 ปีที่แล้ว

    The reason the bike is slower on some bits is because you need to fill the tires up to full pressure, I learned that the hard way, the tires come stock deflated a bit for a comfier ride, but that also means they don’t grip right, this also causes the torque from the motor to eventually rip the back inner tube after awhile so I recommend pumping them up till they’re hard
