Volt

Worst ebike. Inner tubes got punctured within a week of purchase. I barley ride it and only go on smooth surfaces. Tires are made of trash. Rims scratch so easily and are so cheap

Impressed went wrong way by like 10 miles and battery still got me back home going on 40 miles full electric riding bike is very stylish and handles well goes 20mph easy even on bumpy sidewalks I'm 190 pounds recommend upgrading bike seat and adding rear light otherwise amazing investment!

Excellent choice for first ebike. Assembly was very easy. Speed and battery are just as described. The light is very bright. Easy to ride. The only reason I did not give five stars is because seat is uncomfortable.

This bike is really tall, Im 6'2 and I have issue getting on. Other than that its an affordable ebike that goes fast and it reliable

This bike was great for the sale price I got it for. The bike can be used with pedal assist, only the throttle, or just regular pedalling if you do ever happen to run out of battery. I average about 13.8 miles using all throttle.

I love to bike it is built very well and nice and Sleek you cannot even tell it's electric

Definitely a great buy at this price point. Great range and mph.

This was the best purchased I made so far this year. If you are look for an ebike that won't break the bank and has the performance that will leave you smiling, this is the bike.

Nice bike for the money. Had lots of added features for the same low price. I give this electric bike a. A+

do you have "volt" for 5.4"?

This bike helped me get back into riding, I would highly recommend this bike to anyone. I use it to zoom around to do errands in my urban village A few things I would like to mention though: The seat is terrible, buy a 30 dollar replacement The tires are a little thin The handlebar is set a little low, even at highest angle.

Great speed. 20mph without pedaling. Thought that speed was with pedaling and electric. Good surprise. Charging is good. Stored in garage. Close temperature to outside. Cold does zap some charge. No complaints. Wish battery detached like other model, but 9 out of 10.

Great bike It comes with a charger I have used it on my first day only pedal assist Used for 15 miles on my first ride battery still full Very good!!

I love this bike!! I have not rode a bike in years.. the peddle assist helps me push myself.. definitely have to be 5’10 and taller.. easy to assemble and fun to ride!

Its a great bike with a very speed bike look and high gloss black paint job with Bright LED light.

Exactly as advertised and much more. I did months of research test drove many E Bikes and this is just as the more expensive types. The pedal assist is extremely powerful for a road bike. There are 2 other E Bikes that out did this by about 20% but they cost 2k or more so for the money tou can not go wrong. Seat reflector relocate and 5'9" me rides with ease. BUY THIS E BIKE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT !! My roommate bought his a day later

A kid again.. To be 41 and can have fun just riding to the store.

I much like yes. Would suggest yes. Should get if want yes.

I was so excited to get the SWFT Volt! I was looking for a bike that would help me exercise while being more eco-friendly. This was definitely a great start Right out of the box, I was impressed with how it looked. It looked really sleek and did not look electric at all! The frame feels very sturdy while not being too thick housing the wiring. They really did a good job with the engineering to incorporate the system into the frame. You cannot ride it just right out of the box. There is some assembly to be done. You have to attach the seat, the handlebars, the pedals, and the front wheel. Assembly takes a few minutes and the manual goes over everything. Once you charge her up, you are ready to go! I will also comment that the silicone plug over the charging port does not really fit securely so be careful in wet weather or leaving outside, etc. Right off the bat, you should know that this bike was designed for taller riders. It says 5' 9" and up. While I am 5' 9", my legs are pretty darn short so I noticed that my feet were not able to touch the ground. This could get very uncomfortable so be very aware! Fortunately, it is not a problem once you get riding. Coming to a stop may be a bit of a struggle. Without electric assist, it is just a regular single gear bike. I found it to be just the right gear for pedaling on flat areas. There is no suspension unfortunately so the bike clearly built for more of a gentle commute and not cutting through dirt roads, trails, or mountains. The display with controls is on the left handle bar. You hold the power button to turn everything on. It shows your speed, distance traveled, time traveled, and battery. There are three different levels of pedal assist. Life gets SIGNIFICANTLY easier with just the first level. It almost feels like gear shifting as the resistance just drops. I usually keep it at level 1 so that I get some exercise (not really). If you do not feel like pedaling at all, you can use the throttle on the right handle to get full propulsion. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. It is more sensitive than you think and just revving it like a motorcycle may jar you and cause you to fall. If you want to be on cruise control, press and hold the down arrow on the controls. The battery life was definitely less than the advertised 32 miles for me. I think it could be due to technique or using too much throttle but I still found it good enough to get around without worrying about the charge. All in all, this has been an absolute joy. It really is fun to use and just go around town (bike friendly) areas and parks. My dog absolutely loves it as she can go full speed during her walks. This is a great first e-bike for those who just want to get into it.

This is by far the coolest bike I’ve ever ridden and am very impressed by the quality and functionality as well. It’s been years since I’ve owned or ridden a bicycle and the mix between electric power and manual cycling has made me want to get on this thing constantly. The bike comes fairly put together in the box. The only assembly needed is to attach the handle bars, the front wheel, and screw on the pedals. It didn’t take longer than a few minutes. The biggest problem I had was that Swft includes the wrong size hex wrench in the box, so I had to go find one that fit the hand bars. The build quality of this bike is next level. The black powder coat on the bike is beautiful and everything about it screams high end. The only small issue I found with the build was the rubber flap that charges the charging port tends to pop open often. I could see this being a problem if the weather is rainy. The battery is built into the frame of the bike, which does make the main rail look bigger than a normal bike but I personally like the design choice because there are very few exposed electrical parts and the whole electric motor system blends into the bike very well. Riding the bike is a blast. You can use it just like any fix gear bike and ride. Then if you want a little extra oomph you can engage the electric motor by turning the throttle like on a dirt bike or you can push the up arrow and the control panel to automatically have the motor assist pedaling. There are three levels with the lowest giving about 20% power of the motor, two giving 70% and three giving 100%. There is also a built in headlight that comes in very handy for night rides. The overall experience is super fun and smooth. I haven’t had a single issue with the bike so far. The battery lasts forever. I’ve ridden for 10ish miles and still have all bars of battery. I can’t say enough how fun this bike is. It’s great for getting around town easily. Great to given you a little relief if you bike in super hilly areas or if you just want something that can zip around quickly. Highly recommended.

There is a great deal to like about this bike and a few interesting choices that were made. As a complete package, it is very much as advertised, and everything works great. For starters the biggest points on the list are about its top speed and battery life. It can go 20mph without any trouble and I have no doubt it will get the mileage on the charge as stated with over a dozen miles on the clock so far with no movement from the battery gauge. I like the features on the control panel, it has the battery gauge, odometer, speedometer, and motor assist indicator. You can adjust the electric assist to 3 different levels, turn on and off the headlight, and of course motor power from that panel. Riding an electric bike is a different type of experience. Depending on the assist level you’re using changes the amount of work you do to keep moving. The throttle is stiffer than I would prefer it takes a fair amount of effort to keep twisting on it for longer periods of time. Turning the assist down means it acts more like a normal gearless bike, otherwise if you want you can have it put the power down for you. The styling on this bike is great, the battery being built into the frame means it looks fairly normal instead of being so obvious. Assembly was easy just like any other bike I have had in the past. Put on the front wheel, handlebars, seat, and pedals and good to go. It came with most of a charge as well, and topping it off took an hour or so. Charging is convenient, it has a little plug on the side of the frame with a rubber dust cover and the charger itself indicates whether it is charging or full. Now for the interesting choices. This particular bike has a very large frame and 28” wheels. I am 5’11” and have the seat at the lowest height and I am barely tall enough to get on the bike. Speaking of the seat, I know it is not uncommon for the included saddle to not be the best but this one is abysmal. I could only go a mile before I couldn’t stand it anymore. I have already replaced it with a better one to fix that problem, but it feels like for a bike this price the saddle should be usable at least. Personally, I don’t love 700C tires as they get flats so easily, but they ride smooth on pavement. I also wish it had disc brakes but that is a small nitpick. Overall, this is a fun bike that has a lot to offer in an attractive package. I am really enjoying the new world of ebikes and what having one brings to the experience of riding. I have had many bikes in my life and this one is the most unique and interesting. I am happy with how it works and would recommend it.

The SWFT Volt e-bike is my first electric bicycle and my first new bike in a long while. A couple things to know upfront is that this bike is designed for riders who are around 5’10” (178cm) or taller and that there is a bit of assembly required, since it comes flat packed in a shipping box. The bike comes with the tools you’ll need to put the bike together (three Allen wrenches and a multi-wrench) and generic assembly instructions. While a QR code in the manual appears in the “Assembly Tips and Videos” section, as of this review’s writing, the page it points to doesn’t yet exist. Thankfully the written assembly instructions in the manual are pretty easy to follow, consisting of installing the saddle (seat), attaching the handle bars to the stem, attaching the front wheel to the fork, and installing the two pedals to the crank. Assembly took me about 20 minutes total by myself and charging the bike up for the first time took about 5 hours. The bike itself weighs a little over 40 lbs and is rated to carry a rider/load weighing up to 220 lbs. The frame of the bike has a sturdy construction, and the battery for the 350 Watt motor is housed inside the down tube, which is wider than a regular bike’s but low-profile enough that it looks and feels very much like a manual bike. The kickstand is also wide and chunky and easily supports the bike when freestanding. The bike is single-gear, and the 700c x 28mm road tires are suitable for use on smooth, paved surfaces, but not designed for off-road terrain like nature trails or grass. The bike comes with four safety reflectors: one on each tire, a red one on the back, and white one on the handlebars. The LCD for the electronic controls sits on the left-hand side of the handle bars and shows you the remaining battery life, current travel speed, distance traveled (trip/total), travel time, and certain types of error icons. It can be set to display English or metric units. There’s also a powered headlight that runs off the motor’s battery that you can activate by pressing and holding the “up” button on the display. Note that if you turn the display off, the headlight will power off as well. Since I’m a bit shorter than the recommended rider height, adjusting the seat height to the lowest setting still didn’t allow my feet to fully touch the ground when stationary. Although, once I’m on the bike and moving, it was less of an issue. The electric motor is turned on by pressing and holding the power button on the control display. When riding without the motor on, it just feels like a normal bike. Activating pedal-assist even at the lowest of the three settings, makes pedaling significantly easier, since it feels like there is less resistance, akin to switching to a lower gear on a multi-speed bike. Increasing the pedal-assist level gives you more motor power and greater assistance. One thing to keep in mind is that pedal-assist doesn’t propel the bike forward on its own; you will still need to pedal to keep it engaged, and it tops out at 19.8 mph, providing no assistance at higher speeds. You can also twist the half grip throttle on the right-hand side towards you to engage fully automated propulsion, without the need to pedal. The thrust from the throttle is instantaneous and can be a little disconcerting at first as you get a jolt of power and speed. However, it’s really nice to be able to take a break from pedaling and just cruise by enabling cruise control (press and hold the “down” key while travelling above 5 mph), or use the throttle as needed for short bursts of speed, for example to help you climb steep hills with minimal effort. The power-assist can also be used when walking your bike at under 2 mph. The brakes for the bike operate smoothly and were easy to adjust and calibrate, but note that using the brakes frequently with power-assist will deplete the battery faster. Overall, I found the riding experience on the Volt to be super fun and exciting. The bike is easy to assemble and ride, and the motor lets me go faster and farther than I typically would on a manual bike. The battery life on a single charge is great, providing up to 32 miles of travel on a single charge, so I can worry less about getting stranded due to exhaustion when riding for longer distances. You do have to maintain the battery though, by charging it at least once a month, and the operating efficiency of the battery may be impacted by environmental factors like ambient temperature. While the bike is water-resistant, to prevent water from damaging the electronic components you have to be mindful that the charging port is always covered by the silicone port plug, which in my opinion doesn't really ever feel like it seats fully/securely. If you live in an urban or suburban environment with lots of paved roads and lanes for biking, this e-bike would be awesome for getting around, commuting, and leisure rides. I wish that the bike was proportioned a bit smaller to be accessible to shorter riders, like myself, but taller riders should have an easier time with handling, control, and comfort with this e-bike model.

SWFT Volt eBike The SWFT Volt eBike… a great option for commuting or casual riding. First thing you’ll have to do when you receive your bike is assemble it. You’ll notice it comes partially assembled in the box so by the time you open it up, all you have to do is attach the stem/handlebars, front tire, pedals, and saddle. The instruction manual is pretty straightforward and very helpful in setting up for first timers such as myself. Build quality off the bike seems top notch. Ride quality is not too bad if you are riding on fairly even ground. You’ll notice a lot of feedback when you go over bumps or dips and you’ll feel everything as there is no suspension on the bike at all. This is the first time i’ve owned an eBike, so i can only compare it to my Giant Trance mountain bike. This eBike is single speed, so there isn’t much for the rider to adjust if riding without pedal assist. With pedal assist on, the ride is effortless. There are 3 different levels for pedal assist that riders can choose from. I usually choose level 1 as it’s pretty responsive and assists pretty well. On the right handle, there is a throttle that you can use to self-propel in case you don’t want to pedal at all. This feature is quite nice especially if you are going up steep hills or just want to cruise along. One thing to note about the throttle is that it is super sensitive, so if you want to go at a slower speed, you’ll need to gradually turn the throttle to achieve the speed you want to ride at or just go full out at ~20mph. The left hand interface is pretty nice as well. From here, You can toggle the headlight, set the pedal assist level, view various information on riding mileage, etc… Would’ve been nice if the battery metrics were shown in percentages instead of bars. Battery percentage would’ve been better for gauging the actual battery life left as opposed to bars where the battery life may not be as easily perceived. Onto battery life itself, i was able to get around 20 miles without any issues and the bike still showed around 2 bars left so not too bad at all! Overall, this SWFT Volt eBike is great and enjoyable to ride. Would definitely recommend to anyone that is looking to get an eBike as a daily commuter or casual rides.

Surprisingly light for an e-bike and it looks pretty sleek.

Faster than I expected, I love it!

I bought it for the country home; I’m not an avid biker or athlete, but I enjoy getting out and spending time with the grandkids (age 9 and 12). Now I can get fresh air and keep up without the struggle thanks to the pedal assist.

I’ve definitely changed my transportation habits since covid and I started using bike shares more and more to get around. Eventually I decided having my own ebike was a worthy investment, researched for a while, and finally decided to pull the trigger on the Volt because it was one of the more affordable options. I’m pleased to report it did not disappoint- It’s much lighter than a Citibike despite having a battery (it’s hidden in the frame). Overall great purchase.

Perfect for getting around the city.
