I've had the Power 1 bike for two days so far and it's pretty decent and goes fast. The assistance is a little slow to kick in at the traffic lights unfortunately, but once it gets going it's good.... See more

The staff is very nice and helpful. They’re very efficient, they don’t make you wait a lot and if the issue takes a lot of time they’d give you another bicycle to use in the meanwhile.

Great service !

An outstanding experience with exceptional service! My bike wasn’t functioning properly, and they went above and beyond by coming to my home to replace it. Quick, efficient, and incredibly convenient—highly recommended!

Great service but watch out for hidden costs

The service is great however there are some hidden costs I wasnt informed about, like the sign up fee of €19.90, or the fact that the monthly fees are for solar months, so if I buy theft cover for one month of usage, i would still pay for two months if i use my bike between say 15 July- 15 August. Also, there is no mention that the prices advertised exclude VAT. I only needed a bike for 28 days, I thought I was going to pay €21 monthly fee + €3.90 theft cover, I ended up with an invoice of €48. I recommend this to everyone staying in a city for a short period of time and not wanting to buy a bike. The bikes are great and the chance of theft is very low. But please be more transparent with the fees/prices.

Terms and conditions not clear

I think customer location should be a limiting factor for subscription.
I gave all my personal information to the customer team including my address and he assured me that they have a very active customer service. All I have to do is to book an intervention in the app and agents will be at my disposal incase of any issue.
The very first month I had a flat tire issue, I called for help and they told me that they a limited to Paris and I can't cancel my subscription either because it's a 6 month engagement though the customer service on subscription told me that I could cancel at any time.
I had to leave my location to go the Paris using public transport.
One will say it's marketing, but I think they lied to me so that I could subscribe.
If I had that information, definitely wouldn't had subscribed in the first place.
Thank you very much Swapfiets.

Hi Alain,

I am sorry to hear this..

The map of our service is available on our FAQ and we usually discourage customers from registering if they live outside the service area to avoid such situations.
Could you email us at info@swapfiets.fr so we can investigate ?

Kind regards,

Staff is pretty nice and efficient but the store was often crowded with deliveroo drivers. Main pain point was the bikes I had always had small annoying issues : lock needing to be hand directed in the hole, key not coming out, brake not sturdy…

Hi Joshua,

We try our best to manage the influx of customers in store so as to allow our colleagues to be able to help each person properly and for you to have the best experience possible. Unfortunately sometimes we are not able to fully control this...

Sorry to hear you had some issues with your bike that is of course not what we are trying to achieve! We always check and service the bike, before handing them out, but in rare occasions unexpected damages can occur. You can of course always contact us, so we can arrange a service appointment to fix these.

Hi Thaís,

I'm sorry to hear this, the late fees are added incrementaly after email and text reminders have been sent.
If you are experiencing issues with payment you can contact us as soon as you receive the first reminder email, before fees have been added, and we can work to find a solution and avoid such fees.

We're very sad to be leaving Strasbourg but unfortunately we did not have enough users in the city to offer the service we strive to provide.
