Summary of Reviews

16 reasons to buy

5 reasons not to buy
- The Swift S1 is bulky and heavy and weighs 68 lb.
- For one tester, the Swift S1’s hinge was very stiff, making folding difficult and impractical.
- One reviewer finds the Swift S1 taller than other folding bikes, making it difficult for shorter riders to manage.
- A tester lamented the Swift S1’s long charging time of 6 to 7 hours.
- One reviewer said the Swift S1 is expensive, with a price that’s on par with more-powerful mopeds.
Bottom line
The Swift S1 is TurboAnt’s folding electric fatbike. Testers, reviewers and riders are pleased with the speed, acceleration, power, sturdiness and braking ability of the Swift S1. The Swift S1 has 4” fat tires on small 20” wheels to handle on-road and off-road surfaces. A 60mm suspension fork also helps to massage out the imperfections. A tester felt that riders need to be taller than TurboAnt’s specified minimum rider height of 5’3”. Others say that the bike is considerably bigger than they imagined from online pictures. According to TurboAnt, assembly is 90% complete from arrival, taking buyers from ten minutes to an hour with the included toolbox. One reviewer says acceleration feels safe and gradual, without the lurching power-boost of some other e-bikes. Due to its portability, the Swift S1 has been reviewed, considered or chosen by pilots, bus-lifers and working delivery personnel.
