The person was very professional and respectful. They solved my issue very quickly. I did not give 5 because i had to wait for an extra hour which was not convenient but it was very good otherwise

Super easy and comfortable process! Great staff!
The whole process of getting my bike was very fast and went very smoothly. The lady helped me adjust the saddle to my comfort, and was super kind to explain and answer all my questions throughly!

I am writing this review after repeated…
I am writing this review after repeated attempts to resolve the same issue through support and in-store visits.
I am using a Swapfiets bike with the professional subscription, which costs €189 per month, specifically because I rely on it for work, not for leisure. Reliability and battery performance are therefore critical for my income.
According to the information published on your website, the bike is advertised with a range of up to 160 km. In real-world conditions, my experience is drastically different. Even under normal usage, a fully charged battery struggles to reach 35 km, which is not even close to half of what is advertised.
This is not an isolated case. Over the past week alone, I had to visit the store three times, each time receiving a replacement battery (or bike) with similar or even worse performance. This clearly shows that the issue is systemic, not a single defective unit.
Anyone from the company could stop any delivery rider using the same bike on the street and ask a simple question:
“How many kilometers can you realistically get from one battery?”
The answer will be very far from what is advertised online.
What makes this even more frustrating is that, despite paying for a premium/professional service:
There is no option for a second battery
No guarantee of receiving a new, unused battery
The only solution offered is repeated short-term replacements, which do not solve the problem and directly affect my ability to work
I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking for a service that matches its own description and pricing. At the moment, the advertised range and the real-world performance are misaligned, and the current support model does not provide a sustainable solution for professional users.
I hope this feedback is taken seriously, because as it stands, the service does not meet the expectations set by its own marketing.

Hi Ivan,
Thank you for your detailed and clear feedback. We fully understand that as a professional user, your bike is super important, and reliability is non-negotiable.
We want to be transparent: the 160 km range mentioned is a maximum based on optimal conditions, this also involves the weather and in which assistance mode the e-Bike is used. We know that the reality of delivery work, with frequent stop-and-go, maximum support, and cargo weight, also impacts this range. However, struggling to reach 35 km is indeed very low and not the standard we aim for, even under heavy use.
It is frustrating that swapping the battery hasn't solved the issue yet. While we currently do not offer a second battery option, we certainly want to make sure you have a battery that performs better than what you are experiencing now. We take your feedback regarding the gap between marketing and professional reality very seriously.
Please contact us directly so we can look for a more durable solution for your specific situation.
Kind regards,
Team Swapfiets
Great service!
I took my bike for a winter service and the technician who helped me was super friendly and attentive. He engaged with my kids and showed them around. When I mentioned that my battery is not working properly anymore he changed it without a fuss. It made me realize again what great company this is who really makes a difference in terms of sustainability; increasing the life span of bicycles and circulairty.

It's a scam
It's a scam. The company claims the bike has a range of 25 km/h, which isn't true. That's called false advertising. The day after renting the bike, I contacted them to return it, and they charged me for a full month for a product that didn't meet expectations. It's a scam.

Hi Julián,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry to hear the bike did not meet your expectations. As discussed in our chat, we immediately offered to swap the bike for a different one to ensure you received the support and speed (25 km/h) you were looking for.
Since you chose to cancel the subscription instead of accepting a replacement, the standard terms and conditions of the contract apply. This means the payment for the first month is still due, even if you decide to return the bike early. This is not a scam, but the cancellation policy agreed to upon sign-up.
Kind regards,
Team Swapfiets
Not anymore what it used to be
De service is minder persoonlijk en minder flexibel dan voorheen. Jammer, want het concept blijft goed.

Hi Antonio,
Bedankt voor je eerlijke feedback.
Wat jammer om te horen dat je de service als minder persoonlijk en flexibel ervaart dan voorheen. Dat is natuurlijk niet de richting die we op willen, want juist dat persoonlijke contact vinden we belangrijk. We nemen je opmerking mee om kritisch naar onze service te blijven kijken.
Groet,

Easily fixed problem
Recently I've had an issue with my bike, so I requested an onsite maintenance. Not gonna lie, I was a bit nervous about how this whole process would look like. However, it went as smoothly as possible!
Absolutely no pressure, quickly replaced bike and a friendly conversation with an employee.
When your problems are fixed like this, it makes you rely on the brand more! Cheers
