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

Great customer service

Great customer service! Was looking forward to get my Swapfiets bike on the day but couldn’t find my confirmation email. Johan from the commercial road shop in London helped me from A to Z to make sure I could leave with my bike. Looking forward to try it!

Great bikes, great people, great service

Great service all together!
The bikes are exactly what I needed, it takes a bit to get used to the reverse pedal break, but aside from that the bike is sturdy and in the 5 months I had it I never even needed to inflate the tires!
I loved the flexibility of it, using it only in summer, I can have it for those months and then give it back.
Customer service was very responsive on their WhatsApp business account and the technicians who delivered and collected the bike were very nice and professional!
100% recommend

Hi Marco,

Thanks for the review!

We are delighted to hear that you had such a great overall experience. It is fantastic that the bike was exactly what you needed and that the tyres held up so well for your entire summer of riding.

We know the back-pedal brake can take a little getting used to, so well done on mastering it! We are also thrilled that you found our team to be responsive and professional.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Cheers,
