Glad you enjoyed the Swifty e-scooter! I have a Swifty Zero (no electric assist), which has exactly the stability you described: the pneumatic tires plus the slack angle on the front makes the ride a dream. Swifty has a few older e-scooter models, and it looks like the Swifty Go G500 is the cargo style - not to be dismissed at all! BTW, Europe has plenty of other scooters with pneumatic tires and smooth rides -- also called kickbikes. Kostka and Mibo are two great Czech companies, and most of them have e-scooter options.
@Niclaporte Glad I'm not alone. The Voltaire was my favorite ride as well. (Aside from my first time on a Stromer). Got a kick out of the EOVOLT as well. Did the same thing starting out on the Sartee. Missed out on the Swifty. It would be my #1 do-over. VMAX X2 was my first e-scooter ride. Must have been a few seats over from you at the Infrastructure panel. Had a blast at MM.
As someone who would like to have a stealth ebike like the Voltaire Bellecour as is in constant fear of my ebike getting stolen I would honestly go further, while it could make viewing the battery status more complicated, getting rid of the screen and hiding the assist level buttons somewhere along the handlebars would make it look even less like an ebike.
Old guy here. Men do not want classic chick bikes. The problem with your marketing is that you advertise female bike frames exclusively. All of these bikes look effeminate.
@@tyr4106 I think it's more of a cultural preference than insecurity. In the states where I live in a rural area the roads are torn up by plowing during the winter. I'm glad you get to commute on your bike on well-maintained roads. I am jealous.
@@JamesGalipeau-h7i Nope. It's 100% insecurity. Culture isn't an excuse to unnecessarily gender things, and be a dick. I live in the US, by the way. Probably shouldn't just assume to know where someone lives. Definitely no well-maintained roads where I live. But I have been looking at e-bikes.
@@tyr4106 DUDE !!! ILOVE YOU!!! YOU SOUND LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON ON THE INTERNETS!!! YOU GET OVER 9000 POSTS111 Good job. I am very proud of you, and your parents are too.

The Swifty Go 500 is the first scooter I've seen that didn't look like a suicide machine.
THANKS!
It was great to meet you Nic - thanks for stopping by our booth!
Thanks for coming by and testing the Apollo Go Nic - can't wait to get you a sample of the actual production (with the front suspension)! Great video!

I'll have to come with you next year! These look so fun!
Look forward to it!

ngl underrated
EUCs, or electric unicycles, are something you should look into. They have a lot of pros but the major con is the steep learning curve.
I plan to get on one in the near future! Only tried once and it didn't go so well lol

Someone's insecure.
