My Dad was a mechanical engineer and I used to build race cars in my younger years so you might say I come from a somewhat "technical" background that makes me appreciate the finer points of design and construction. That said I find your products a most refreshing alternative to the "Oh that's good enough..." mindset so prevalent these days. A lot of thought and fine tuning has gone into the design and construction of your kick bikes and your commitment to getting things "just right" is admirable. The frosting on the cake are these brilliant how to assemble videos! Most of the manufactured products I've bought come with assembly instructions so hopelessly vague and poorly illustrated as to present even an ex-race car mechanic with some head scratching problems. These highly detailed and video illustrated how to assemble videos are just the thing! As we say here in Maine, "They are the best thing since pre sliced bread!"
Hi, I have Swifty Air MK1and I am looking to replace the tyres. How wide can I go? I have seen some Cult X Vans tyres that are 16x2.3. Would these fit?
Hi! Officially its 1.8 / 2.0, the ones you mention do fit but we recommend using a spacer, as it's very close. Also please be aware that the mudguards don’t fit if you fit these tyres
It looks very nice . But need a lot of time to set it . One problem you can not fold it I think next generation will be foldable and ready to use in box. Thank you
I just checked out your website. The cheapest scooter I saw was $540. I'm an avid bike rider and I won't pay $540 for a bike let alone a scooter which I will use a fraction of the time. And that brings up your marketing. It's wrong. I use a scooter for one thing and ONE THING ONLY. Taking my dog running. A grown man on a scooter looks stupid. A grown man on a scooter with a Dog attached to him looks FREAKING COOL! I've had 2 Schwinn scooters that both failed in the same area. where the downtube meets the deck. The weld broke or the downtube bent. I'd buy another one if they were still $100 but now that they are $300 and up? NO WAY. If you can address that problem of strength I'm interested. I weigh 200lbs and run a Husky so rough terrain is normal.
I have only had positive reactions to me commuting on my kickbike. Also are we riding for fashion or for mobility? Kickbiking rocks and is compatible with mutlimode transportation. You can even go shopping with it, no need to lock it outside.
I’m not really bothered what people thinking I look like riding one of these. My only query is why should I buy a Swifty and not something far cheaper like an Osprey. That’s my only issue right now. I would imagine the quality is better but sadly I have no way of telling.

Are the Swifty Air rims tubeless ready?
I do have a question, when the next new update with disc brake
Hi, we don't have any current plans on doing a SwiftyAIR with disk brakes unfortunately
Scooters go slower than bikes, so pads will wear even less. Disc requires alot more maintenance and bleeding air out of the lines. No ty to all that.

Hello have you seen our folding scooter? swiftyscooters.com/collections/urban
They sell a folding version, but it's not for me. I prefer a solid frame.
This video does not instill confidence, not in your product of in my ability to assemble it!

Thanks for your comments, noted! Have an awesome day 😁
