Good quality but lacks flexibility

I subscribed the Deluxe 7. Happy with the quality of the bike and riding condition but a bit disappointed that it doesnt have a damesfiets version which would have been more comfortable for me.

Hi Karti! Thank you for sharing your experience with the Deluxe 7. We are glad you are happy with the riding condition and quality of the bike! For a classic damesfiets model, we recommend taking a look at our Original model, which might be a more comfortable fit for you.

The quality of bikes decreased

My bike was swapped for a bike that was apparently okay but as soon as I left the store, I noticed the pedals were not right, so I returned to check. They swapped for another bike, and a few minutes later I’ve noticed the front wheel protector was loose. I didn’t have time to go back and swap it for a second time, so I went home. For my surprise, when locking the bike I noticed the key was bend! It was quite upsetting and now I will need to return and swap it again. I hope they give me a good bike this time.

not satisfactory

The service was good, but they just took my bike to the back, and I didn't feel like they made any changes to it. I mentioned that the front brake was very loose and squeaked when I braked, but the bike remained the same.

Didn't advise of arrival

Arrived and fixed the issue, however didn't notify me he was there until after he left, meaning I couldn't ask him to inflate the back wheel which was a bit deflated

Hi Arno,

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad we could get the main issue fixed for you, but we’re sorry the communication fell short this time. Our mechanics should ideally check in so you can mention any small adjustments like inflating your tires.

We'll share this with our service team to ensure better coordination in the future. In the meantime, most of our shops have pumps available if you're passing by.

Best regards,
Team Swapfiets

Helpful and Understanding Staff

Recently, I had to replace my bike, but the new one came without a handle brake. Since I am used to riding with both brakes, this made me feel quite unsafe.
When I went to the store to ask whether it would be possible to get a different bike with a handle brake, the staff were very kind and understanding. They quickly helped me exchange it for another bike that had the brake I needed.
Now I feel safe and comfortable riding my bike again.

In 2,5 years I didn't have any issue

In 2,5 years I didn't have any issue. The fact that I am the first user of my bike probably helps. The service is good when I go to the service point too, always fast and the attendants are always fast and polite.

the bikes are very bad quality

the bikes are very bad quality. they break often (like every few months) and it takes time to receive another one.
they're difficult to handle, and the handle height can't be properly adjusted. If you want an omafiets they don't have that.
I would not recommend for everyday use in the rush hours in Amsterdam. The effort needed to pedal them is higher than any other bikes I used. If you want to get from point A to point B fast it will not be fun, it will difficult and a workout, even when changing the speed. If you use it as transportation, then I would not recommend it.
I really gave it a try over the course of 1. 5+ years with multiple bikes from them. I also gave myself time to get used to it. For every single use, the bike just made the entire process a chore and it was very disheartening when the bike just broke in the middle of the road (broken wheel, off-center handle etc.) A few times I was in danger of accident.

TLDR: the bikes are low quality; not suitable for day to day transportation

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We are sincerely sorry to hear that your experience over the last year and a half has been so disheartening and that you felt unsafe; your safety is our top priority.

While our bikes are "pre-loved" and may show some wear, they should always be fully functional and safe for Amsterdam traffic. We’d like to clarify a few points that might help: we actually do offer an "Original" model which is the classic omafiets style, and our mechanics can always adjust the handlebar height to make your ride more comfortable, you can simply book an appointment for this.

We understand that the pedaling effort felt higher than expected, and we appreciate you giving our bikes a try for so long. We have taken note of your comments regarding the durability and handling of our bikes as we continue to improve our fleet.

If you are still a member and would like us to take a final look at your current bike or discuss the original pedal bike model, please reach out to our support team.

Best regards,
Team Swapfiets
