Swift ST

Today was the first time riding the Swift and putting it through a test ride (3.5 hrs.) Found the ride smother than my Stunner step thru 5. Going around corners was easier also and non pavement trails a breeze. Torque sensor (Swift) vs cadence sensor (Stunner) was more manageable with the Swift. Felt more comfortable operating the bike. Got the higher capacity battery and am very pleased to know that I will be able to go longer distances with this battery. My only negative comment is the space between the seat and the handle bars is a little tight so stopping and starting is a little cumbersome/awkward but the throttle is a great asset. There was more space between the seat and handle bars on the Stunner. Stunner is a more powerful bike (especially for hills) but I like the feel how the Swift is more like a regular bike for pedalling but you have the assist if you encounter hills. Biktrix support is excellent. Barb G

I assembled my new Swift X in a breeze! The bike is awesome and a better ride than e bikes two to three times the price. I am getting a lot of compliments from the bike group I ride with. I couldn’t be happier with my new Biktrix Swift X e bike. Thank you.

Good looking bike, has bells& whistles I want. Pricey but u get what you pay for. How difficult is getting repair parts ?

La qualité d'assemblage du cadre et de la peinture sont excellentes.
Le cadre est certes moins rigide qu'un cadre en triangle, (ma selle est en position assez haute vu ma grandeur, ce qui accentue l'effet de levier de la partie arrière dans des conditions plus difficiles) mais il est tout à fait suffisant pour un usage sur route et même dans les sentiers forestiers rocailleux.
Pour ma part, j'aime bien rouler dans les sentiers parfois accidentés et j'ai donc changé ma position de conduite en y mettant un guidon droit pour plus de maniabilité en sentiers mais le guidon d'origine donne une position de conduite très confortable.
Avec la batterie de base je fais autour de 120km en mettant l'assistance à 5 (maximum) et en roulant autour de 30km/h avec un peu de côtes.
L'autonomie est excellente.
En mettant l'assistance à 1 en sentiers forestiers en montagne à basse vitesse je reviens de 5 heures et demie de route et la batterie (de base) est encore à 75%.
Avec l'accélérateur c'est très facile de démarrer dans une côte abrupte (en se mettant également en première vitesse).
Ce vélo est parmi les plus légers dans les vélos électriques et il est donc facile à utiliser aussi sans aucune assistance.
En tout cas je suis très satisfait de mon nouveau vélo.

So many pluses: Minimal assembly required - just the handle bar and front tire. Good step-by-step videos on each stage of the assembly. Appreciated that they even created videos for the accessories. Extremely well designed. Rides well and much more nimble than other e-bikes. As I am a newbie, I searched for docs and couldn't find anything on shifting, throttle, changing the level of pedal assistance (is that possible?) I upgraded to hydraulic breaks - what type of maintenance will that require?

I ordered two Swift Step Thru bikes. The shipping and delivery exceeded my expectations; assembly was as expected, with no drama or problems; it was great! Then a small issue came up. Honestly, I think they planted it so I could experience their excellent customer service. Otherwise, I would never have known how competent they are, both on the phone and in their comprehensive FAQ resources. Well done, Biktrix!

More than satisfied with this bike. Battery has lasted around 60 miles on the lowest pedal assist and 25 riding the throttle. Was very easy to assemble and delivered fast. Biggest complaint is the seat and grips were very uncomfortable but was easy to swap over from my previous bike.

This is my second e-bike, after my Pedego Ridge Rider. It is new to me, and has become my go-to bike, particularly for the 250-mile Stop Soldier Suicide challenge. So far I like the range, the acceleration under assist, and the ergonomic layout of the controls. The seat is comfortable, but somehow the handlebars could be easier on the hands. The “walk” mode feature is nice, but could use a little less torque when walking, to avoid the bike lurching forward. Lots of features, and feature-packed. Again, my go-to bike when I ride.

I still don't have the bike. I don't believe FEDEX knows what they are doing!!
