Hi Enrico,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your bike was delivered with low tire pressure and imprecise gears. This is certainly not the standard we aim for.

While our bikes are "pre-loved" and may show some wear, they should always function perfectly. Please schedule an appointment through the app as soon as possible. Our team will take a look at the gears and tires to ensure everything is adjusted correctly, or swap the bike for you if needed.

Enjoy the ride.

Thank you for your kind words about our service and for highlighting how helpful our team was in finding a solution for you!

We apologize that you had to wait a week for an appointment. We understand how frustrating it is when your bike is unusable during that time, as our goal is to keep you mobile. We are constantly working on increasing our appointment availability to ensure we can get our members back on the road much faster in the future.

My Swapfiets experience

Generally speaking very happy with my membership; I had an issue with my bike the other week and it was quickly resolved with a replacement. Very easy to book an appointment and the process is efficient. Only thing I would say is, a lost key replacement feels a bit too expensive considering the price of the membership

Hi Luca,

Thank you for your honest feedback.

We are glad to hear that you have been generally very happy with your membership and that our team was able to quickly and efficiently resolve your recent bike issue with a replacement. Making the appointment process easy and getting you back on the road smoothly is exactly what we aim for!

We also completely understand your point regarding the fee for a lost key. While it might feel a bit expensive alongside your monthly subscription, this charge goes directly towards the costs we incur to either order a replacement key from the manufacturer.

We appreciate your understanding and are so glad to have you riding with us.

The person who delivered the bicycle…

The person who delivered the bicycle was very kind and attentive. The only problem with their bicycles is the seat; it's awful, uncomfortable, and makes your body slide forward, which is incredibly annoying and uncomfortable.

Hi Jaime,

Thank you for your review.

We are happy to hear that the person who delivered your bike was so kind and attentive.

However, we are sorry to hear that you are finding the seat so uncomfortable. We completely understand how annoying it must be to constantly feel like you are sliding forward while riding. While it is unfortunately not possible to swap the seat itself for a different model it might really help to adjust the tilt or height of your current saddle to prevent the sliding. If you would like some help with this, please feel free to drop by one of our stores or book a quick appointment via the app. Our mechanics would be more than happy to help you adjust it to the best possible position for your comfort.

Best regards.

Disappointing and dishonest service

Disappointing and dishonest service

I was recommended to use this service to get a bike in the Netherlands but it has unfortunately been very disappointing. The first bike they gave me was too big and was dangerous. I swapped to a new smaller bike and despite making sure that this was not change the end date of my contract, I logged into my account today and have found that I have now had another 6 months added again. Such dishonest service I would unfortunately not recommend them at all. There are loads of bike rental places in Amsterdam so I would really recommend that you shop around!

Hi Fiona,

Thank you for your honest feedback.

We are sorry to hear that your experience has been so frustrating. We are glad you were able to swap your initial bike for a size that is safer and more comfortable for you, but we completely understand your concern regarding the unexpected contract extension.

To clarify how our contracts work: the commitment depends on the specific subscription type chosen by the member at sign-up. When registering, you can select either a flexible membership (cancellable monthly) or a loyal subscription (which has a minimum term of 6 months or longer).

If you initially chose the 6-month loyal subscription, your contract should automatically transition into a flexible, monthly cancellable plan only after that initial 6-month period is completed. However, a simple bike swap should never restart this timeframe. If a brand new 6-month period has been incorrectly added to your account after your swap, this is a mistake on our end, and we sincerely apologise for the confusion. It is certainly never our intention to be dishonest with our members!

Please reach out to our support team directly via email. They can look into the exact subscription you selected at the start, check your account history, and ensure your current subscription status is correct

Best regards,
Team Swapfiets
