When I used to race sports cars here in America we always used to say "The Devil's In The Details!" And if anything stands out about Swifty Scooters it's that Jason and his coworkers pay exquisite attention to all the details! I've owned a Swifty Zero for nearly a year and when folks ask me what I think of it I say it's the Ferrari of kick scooters! I rode my Swifty Zero nearly 1,000 miles in the first 6 months and never had a single breakdown or malfunction. Sadly an old hamstring injury acted up and I was forced to stop riding 5 months ago. I'm currently going through physical therapy but at age 76 you don't bounce back quite as quickly. Can't say that I enjoy physical therapy but every time I get discouraged I picture myself back on my scooter cruising around Acadia National Park here in Maine where I live. keep up the good work Jason!
So sorry you're currently injured, wishing you a speedy recovery. Many thanks for sharing your experiences with your scooter. It really means the world to us to hear about these happy memories. We are a very small team and this is great for us to hear. 1000 miles is awesome! Good luck with the rehab and stay in touch. Oh and finally we have customers who are 10 + years older than you so when you bounce back send over some more scooting adventure stories!
Didn’t think you could refine your design classic even more Jason 🙌🏻🤓 love the new stem design, this is why I love swifty scooters. You guys pay attention to the finest details to make sure our swifty’s give the best ride and lasts for years 🤗🛴🤗
I've had my Swifty One Mk I, nearly six and half years. And I have never had a problem with it. Scooting with Swifty, really is the best exercise for me, I am Disabled, but Swifty helps me get about easier. I keep looking at other scooter designs, but I always look back to the Swifty site. My present one should last a few more years, but it's time to replace.. it'll be another Swifty One. The Kenda tyres I will miss though, I have mine slightly over the 100 psi mark. Smooth Rides👍
Many thanks for your comments! Super nice to have feedback like this from happy customers. Yes, the new folding stem has been a long time coming. Lots of delays in production but we are finally here! Yes uphill sucks but you're getting stronger with every kick!
@@kuemagecollector Haha yes i ride lot of differents things :) EUC is a must have for commuting that is sad it's not allowed in your city.. :/ Swifty is great too but it's way slower and it's physical, i love commuting with it and take it in the tramway or bus when it's uphill.
The chills that you spill up my back keep me filled With SwiftyOne when we're done I couldn't ask for another No, I couldn't ask for another (uh-huh, uh-huh). Groove is in the heart-art-art-art Groove is in the heart-art-art-art
Brilliant engineering. Only thing what about tinkering with maybe am shock absorbing elastomer in future designs to cushion the ride especially on bumpy roads.
I agree with boatman222345, the devil IS in the details! I so admire the improvements. I realize 20” or even 24” wheels would negate the engineering premise for keeping the scooter portable, or maybe transportable is a better word, - but I can dream, right? I’ve had my Kickbike Sport G4 since 2009. It’s perfect for my back pain and carpal tunnel. But if it had a smaller front wheel, the bumps would be more jarring. Hello from Cincinnati, btw. I totally ate too much Thanksgiving dinner last night. Woah. I’m 51 and it’s like I woofed down 5 Big Macs like a crazy teenager. I just can’t eat like that any more. I love, love, love the Marine’s chrome finish, btw!
You managed 5 Big Macs as a teenager!!!!! 😅Happy Thanksgiving! We have no plans to go up in wheel size anytime soon. We think it is a good size all around and we don't want to directly compete at the moment with the other bigger wheel scooter brands. But you never know! Have a great weekend!
Before I switched to my Swifty Zero I rode thousands and thousands and thousands of miles on uprights with 26,” 27,” and 700 C sized wheels. For several years I also rode a Rans Rocket SWB recumbent with dual 20” wheels. While the 26” mountain bike tires probably provided the smoothest ride (at least on paved roads) the 16” wheels on my Swifty Zero come in a very close second. Equipped with Kenda Kwest tires inflated to 65 psi my Zero transmits almost no vibration to my hands and arms and provides a very smooth ride. Handling is also superb and I regularly scoot down twisty mountain roads at speeds of 30 mph with nary a worry! Braking is on par with my other road bikes. Maintenance, with the exception of an occasional wash and wax, is nearly zero. I have found that when temps drift below 20F the aluminum spacer tube that maintains headset tension shrinks a bit in length so the headset spacing needs to re reset…but that only takes a minute of two and a single hex wrench.
@@SwiftyScootersTV @Swifty Scooters haha I think I exaggerated a bit. I don't really remember my Big Mac record. Or even if I ever really made it past two. Haha If Swifty were to seriously consider competing, I would recommend competing with Bakcou's Timberwolf model. I'm not a hunter, far from it, but for the small percent of offroading I know I'd do, I would have to have something with a front end that's more like a mountain bike simply because I'm a nut. Observe "Red Bull Rampage" competition videos here on TH-cam. I don't do any tricks like those guys, but I at least don't want to accidentally launch myself over the handle bars because of a mechanical disadvantage caused by a smaller front wheel, either. Haha That actually happened to me on a cold, cold winter morning one day when a front tire just loudly blew- I was on a kiddie scooter I borrowed from my younger cousin when I was in college back in the 90’s. It popped loudly and suddenly. I flipped quietly and quickly slammed onto the concrete- limped my way to class with my tail between my legs. Haha What I mean to say, is that I love Swifty engineering/design. A large-wheeled scooter by Swifty would no doubt be KILLER!!! May I add, that I would not personally be disappointed at all if a large-wheeled Swifty electric scooter did not fold, either. Just saying. Have a wildly happy day! 😁
@@cisumsevolbor Here in the US an upright is a normal 2 wheeled bicycle with a seat you sit on and handlebars used to steer. Uprights come in different versions such as a road bike, a mountain bike, a tandem bike, etc but all require the rider to sit in an upright or at least semi upright position whereas recumbents allow you to recline and lean back against a seat rest.
Are there plans to get UL2272 certification for your Swifty-One electric scooters? I ask because, here in Singapore, only UL2272-certified e-scooters are allowed to ride on public paths. Electric Bromptons already have the EN15194 certification to ride in Singapore. I hope Swifty-One electric will get the official UL2272 certification too.
Hello, I intend to acquire very soon a SwiftyONE Mk4 ! - but I still hesitate on one small detail : I am 180cm of height, so I hesitate between the "Standard" model, and the "Tall" one (suggested if you are 182cm+). Can you help me to make the right choice? Thank you.
WANTED TO BUY IT I LIKE THE LOOK BUT CHEAP TETRKO BREAKS FOR 13 EUROS NOT EVEN SHIMANO WHY ONLY ONE FRONT BREAK PRICE SHOULD ALLOW LNE IN THE BACK TOO BUT MONEY MONEY NO NAME WHEELS TOO MADE IN TAIWAN AND THEN CHARGE 870€ THATS A CRIME THE PRICE OF ALMOST TWO MIBO MASTR 16/6 THAT ARE WAY BETTER BY THE WAY FOR 450€

Nice new folding stem Jason 100% yours :)
I love my Swifty One Marine it looks absolutely amazing and ride like a dream, a must have !
Soo true, once you have a go on a swifty you see why. Nothing beats that big kid rush 😝 but you’re are spot on, going up hill is a quad burner 🥵

It's funny looking at your profile cuz I also do freeskates now and used to ride EUC but workplace banned any PEV. I'm looking into swifty now.
@@kuemagecollector Haha yes i ride lot of differents things :)
EUC is a must have for commuting that is sad it's not allowed in your city.. :/
Swifty is great too but it's way slower and it's physical, i love commuting with it and take it in the tramway or bus when it's uphill.
The chills that you spill up my back keep me filled
With SwiftyOne when we're done
I couldn't ask for another
No, I couldn't ask for another (uh-huh, uh-huh).

can you attach a child seat to scooter?
no retailer in the US 😞
can you make a fat tire dual motor/dual battery version?
Hello,
I intend to acquire very soon a SwiftyONE Mk4 ! - but I still hesitate on one small detail : I am 180cm of height, so I hesitate between the "Standard" model, and the "Tall" one (suggested if you are 182cm+). Can you help me to make the right choice? Thank you.
If in doubt go for the tall option, as the ONE is fully adjustable, so can go higher and lower to suit 180cm height.
Thank you! I just ordered one Tall !😀
WANTED TO BUY IT I LIKE THE LOOK BUT CHEAP TETRKO BREAKS FOR 13 EUROS NOT EVEN SHIMANO
WHY ONLY ONE FRONT BREAK PRICE SHOULD ALLOW LNE IN THE BACK TOO BUT MONEY MONEY
NO NAME WHEELS TOO
MADE IN TAIWAN AND THEN CHARGE 870€ THATS A CRIME
THE PRICE OF ALMOST TWO MIBO MASTR 16/6 THAT ARE WAY BETTER BY THE WAY FOR 450€
