It was an easy and quick experience getting my bike swapped over for another one (at home) after getting a puncture.
I would have given 5 stars if the wait hadn't been 4 days for someone to come to mine to swap over the bikes. Not sure how you can get a massive bike with a puncture to Shoreditch if you need your repair/replacement quicker, but the process on the day was very smooth and easy.

Hi there,
Thank you for your review!
We are glad to hear that the actual swap process was easy and quick once you were at the store. However, you make a very valid point: pushing a heavy bike with a flat tire all the way to Shoreditch is a workout nobody wants, especially when you have to wait a few days for a slot!
We are constantly working to improve our appointment availability to minimise that downtime and hassle in the future.
Enjoy the ride.

I was charged an extra £5 after my…
I was charged an extra £5 after my automatic payment failed unexpectedly. The earlier email didn’t clearly state any repayment timeframe, yet I was still hit with an added fee. I was also told my account could be referred to debt collection with a £40 surcharge; wildly disproportionate for a single missed payment after 5+ years as a loyal customer. The charges aren’t clearly visible on the website either.
But the worst part: I called (Dutch and UK) support in both cases the representative was not willing to even care at all. For the Netherlands, she refused to give me their name, told me everyone “sits in the same room” and that nobody would make an effort to help anyway, then hung up on me. Completely unacceptable and shocking conduct for a Dutch company’s NL/UK support team.
If a more senior customer support representative from Swapfiets decides to check the Dutch review, it was conducted on the 23rd of February 2026, approximately 10:35-40AM, speaking to an english-speaking woman.
Edit: I was e-mail back with a quotation from their general terms & conditions, that DOES NOT specify the amounts that will be added. Creating arbitrary fees not specified in the contract is illegal, and this is a shake-down. Unacceptable for a Dutch company.

Great customer service
Great customer service, went over and above to help. Have been with swapfiets since 2022 and it's worth every penny. Went in for a flat tire yesterday, left my headphones and the team texted me to ask if they were mine and kept them safe. Nothing is too much of an ask and they are just all round great people. This is for the Spitalfields branch

Happy with the bike and service
Happy with the bike and service. Back breaks take a bit if getting used to, and the bike is heavy to ride around all day. But the ability to lock it pretty much anywhere is good, and have the peace of mind with insurance.
Finally if something goes wrong you can book a technician to your home or office to fix the bike or just get a new one.

Hi Mat,
Thank you for your detailed review!
We are happy to hear you are pleased with the service and the peace of mind our concept provides.
The coaster brake indeed takes a little getting used to, and our bikes are built to be robust, which can make them feel a bit heavy at first. It is great to know that you value the flexibility of the lock and the convenience of our onsite repair service.
Enjoy the ride.

Be very careful in London
Be very careful in London - my bike was locked up unattended for a few hours and they picked it up and are now trying to charge me for it being lost.
Do not trust.

Hi James,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand that receiving a surcharge in this situation is frustrating.
To clarify the policy: under our terms and conditions, if a bike is lost or missing and is subsequently recovered by the Swapfiets team (rather than being found and returned by the member), the missing surcharge still applies. This fee covers the operational costs of the recovery and the period the bike was unaccounted for.
Since our team was the one to locate and retrieve the bike, the surcharge remains valid. We aim to be transparent about these conditions in our contract and on our website.
Kind regards,
Team Swapfiets
I was stood up by Swapfiets
i booked an appointment at the waterloo location to pick up my bike. when i got there, i found it closed. I called support, they said: "yup, it's supposed to be open, but other people have also called us to report that it is not"
i eventually went to the shoreditch location to get my bike. as i noticed later, the handlebar is wobbly. i will have to go in to have it fixed again. it would have been nice if a new bike didn't have issues like that.
I don't understand how Swapfiets can be so much more expensive here in the UK than it is in Austria and yet the quality be so much worse
