Great Bike but comes with quality control issues

The Swift X is a great looking bike in red. The controls look sleek and fit well with the internally routed lines. I love riding this bike compared to my previously converted ebike. The hub motor does surprisingly well against my previous bbshd build and it looks so much better. I was disappointed though to receive this bike with a very wobbly front tire and after removing the front tire tread I realized the wobble originated from an incorrectly built wheel. Since I live a decent distance from the nearest Biktrix storefront I seemingly was on my own to fix. 3 hours later and after purchasing a spoke tension meter and a tension adjustment tool I was able to retention the wheel spokes (some spokes were half of the tension of the others!!!) and correct the wobbly wheel. Aside from this quality control issue the rear brake rotor was bent slightly out of the box and had to be readjusted after the first ride as it was severely rubbing against the break pads when the motor was under load making a horrible screeching sound. This is a great bike but beware of quality control issues.

C'est mon deuxième!

Il y a deux ans, après avoir comparé de nombreuses marques et modèles de vélo, j'ai acheté un Biktrix Swift Step Thru 2 pour moi et un autre pour ma femme.
C'était un excellent achat.
Et malheureusement mon vélo s'est brisé parce qu'il s'est décroché du porte vélo de la roulotte.
J'ai refait le tour de ce qu'il y avait sur le marché pour en acheter un autre, parce qu'il était foutu, et j'ai trouvé encore que le Biktrix Swift Step Over 3 cette fois-ci était encore le meilleur choix pour moi.
Vraiment très satisfait encore avec beaucoup d'améliorations sur cette nouvelle version.
Je préférais par contre l'écran de la version précédente mais sinon pour tout le reste je trouve encore mieux.
J'ai choisi le Step Over cette fois-ci plutôt que le Step Thru pour plus de rigidité du cadre qui est un avantage en étant bien chargé, surtout à plus haute vitesse en descente.
La géométrie du cadre est également très améliorée, la roue avant donnant plus de liberté pour les pieds en manœuvres serrées à basse vitesse dans les sentiers, et guidon droit très utile dans ces cas-là (j'en avais mis un sur mon autre vélo).
La selle est très confortable aussi sur de longs trajets.
Possibilité de fixer un support avant.
Je l'ai acheté en ligne et reçu par Purolator à la maison en quelques jours tel que commandé.

Excellent bike, exactly as presented.

Easy to assemble, performs well on short test rides to date, looking forward to longer rides.

Swift Step Thru 3

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

a good bike with some missed details

Overall, this is a fine bike. It has a natural feel, rides and handles well at speed, gets a great distance on a single charge, and carries cargo well with the rear rack plus an aftermarket front basket. I can easily get groceries for a week with just a little careful packing.

There's a number of smaller details that seem out-of-place or just poorly thought out though. In no particular order:
The bottle cage is crammed between the top tube and the battery which leaves no room for a bottle and gets in the way of the battery.
The seat is way to big to be comfortable on a ride of any distance, especially for a bike with a fairly active riding stance- maybe it's alright for very short trips or if you're only using the throttle but this bike is not an upright beach cruiser. A standard cheap saddle is a significant improvement (and would probably cost less than the stock seat).
The rear fender fits so tight to the tire that it rubs, plus it's unnecessary with the rack anyway - it's a bit of an inconvenience to remove that fender but well worth it.
The layout of everything on the handlebars made it difficult to reach the controls without the brakes getting in the way. I took everything off and moved my brake levels in and the electronic controller and shifter out so I could reach everything.
The crank arms feel really short at only 165mm - it would have been nice to have an option of a different size, even if it costs extra.

It feels like a somebody designed the bike itself and electrical system and did a great job and then a marketing team choose the components that would look good on paper.
