Swifty Electric Mountain Bike

Researched e-bikes for some time and really pleased with this purchase. The rear wheel is powered rather the front and tyres are all terrain or cross over. Not thick mountain nor wafer thin road, but just right for all terrains so long as you don’t want a specialist bike for one or the other. Prices can vary from cheap or ridiculous expensive, but if this is your first e-bike, then the price is perfect for a starter. Arrived on time in a huge heavy box and looks quite daunting. Don’t be worried as mostly pre-assembled. Just need to attach the saddle, handle bars, front wheel and pedals with tools provided. Once the battery is charged you are good go straight out of the box.The ride is brilliant with pedal assist. Stop peddling or touch the brakes, motor stops. I’m in my sixties and have trouble with hills or riding into the wind. No longer as the four speed electric motor just kicks in and it is a go anywhere bike. Take busy round-a-bouts – a normal bike takes 20 – 30 seconds to build up to speed. This bike will keep up with the car in front while you go round without any effort at all.I rode for an hour at the weekend and did about 25 miles and battery still had a full charge when I got back. You can still ride without any charge like a normal bike, but not so much fun.You still have to pedal, so you still get exercise so win, win.Only down side was the small rear reflector was broken off. I’m not going to quibble about that and just buy another one.I can’t recommend this bike enough.

I was given this bike for my Birthday which I was thrilled about . When I assembled the bike :1. The back tyre was completely flat and could not be pumped up, so i took the bike to Halfords bike shop for a new tube to be fitted2. When i tried to ride it the brakes front and rear did not work at all they would not have stopped the bike. It turned out that the disc brakes had not been set at the factory. I had to call a friend who very kindly set the disc brakes uo correctly.3. The plastic reflector fitted to the back wheel was broken ssh i removed it.Now everything is fixed the bike is a good machine but the whole experience was rubbish and upsetting.

1st bike arrived and the forks were out of line, returned and replscement sent this did not arrive some problem with courier saying tracking number and post code incompatible, notified amazon again and had a replacement within 3 days, this one was all ok, had to sell my old bike as i have breathing problems so decided on this just for some freedom and getting out. frame is pretty big i'm 5.8 and the saddle is almost right down. looks a really sturdy machine quite easy to build and easy to ride. only used it yesterday for a short ride but managed all the hills quite comfortably, ii dont know if serious mountain bikers would like this, but for getting about and general use it's a great little bike, i'm well pleased and glad i got one, First poblem 2nd charge and either the battery or charger is faulty contacted tech services and they are sending a courier to pick parts up tomorrow 24th sept, very helpful customer care anbd hope they will solve the problem.
