Henry and Martin were both super helpful and patient in answering all my questions about converting my bike, and the many options for doing that. I was initially skeptical that this could result in a bike that would be better that a stock e-bike. I also did my own research and it became evident that the components they use are top-notch - likely better than what you're getting on a factory bike. In the end, I got a bike that is both unique and better suited to my individual needs than I could have gotten anywhere else. And super fun to ride! Highly recommend Bike Swift.

These guys are awesome. I was just buying a couple parts, but that were incredibly helpful in explaining everything and offering suggestions. I was looking around while waiting, and they've got some really cool bikes and conversion projects in the shop. Finally, I know most shops don't have any inventory at the moment, but they've got a bunch of cool Marins that appeared to be available. Plus, they've got the coolest bike lift I've ever seen!

Contacted them through email about wanting a Marin bike and they were very quick to respond, very helpful to answer any questions I had. Once the bike arrived to their shop, they assembled it within a couple hours and was ready for pick up the same day! Very impressed with how quick and reliable they are.

Finally pulled the trigger a few months back and converted my Marin. I live near the Arboretum at the foot of one of the biggest hills in the city. Getting to work on bike was almost impossible.
Henry talked me through the process and was an exceptional listener - a skill often lost these days. I bought the front wheel hub assist and have had the bike now all summer. I ride to work several days a week. If I want to get more exercise I either turn it off, remove the battery, or ride in the lowest of the five e-bike settings. I have the best of all worlds.
I would not hesitate to recommend

Tl;dr Both the product (Swift electric conversion system) and the service are amazing- can't recommend Bike Swift highly enough. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews already!
This is long overdue and should really be three reviews:
1) I live at the top of a big hill and slogging up it, on a heavy steel upright city bike while hauling a toddler, was getting old. Last year after much deliberation I had the Swift system installed and it turned bike commuting into such a joy; it completely 'flattened out' the city and made everything quicker and more accessible to get to

After extensive e-bike research, I left my belt drive bike with Henry at Bike Swift and after only 1 day was rewarded with a completed conversion. Everything about the experience was positive: clear and concise explanation of the various options, a similar bike available for an extensive test ride on my first visit, all my many questions answered, and outstanding, clean, quality work.
The results are as good as I had hoped or better. The less expensive and preferred system with my internally geared rear hub is their front hub option. The bike is still well balanced, has ample power for even the

Struggling uphill to work is no more... its a glide to the top and down again , the workout comes with flat power-off pedaling by choice... the battery lasts for weeks on a charge. the motor is quiet...Henry at Bike Swift took means my friend for a ride and I was "taken" , next to add the motor to my much loved bike...( quite a bit cheaper than buying an electric bike )
months in now, through rain sleet and snow, I am so happy "flying" along on my bike! During and after customer service has been outstanding , informative and delightful!

Bike Swift added their Meridian (1 HP) motor to the rear wheel of our folding cargo bike, which we use as a family bike to haul 75# of kid-weight up hills. It works like a dream. The price is very reasonable, and the customer service experience was top-notch. They gave me options on the install, since it was non-standard, and helped me troubleshoot a couple things as I got used to it the first week. 6 months later, we're still riding strong! We love the power, the option to turn it up/down/off, and the throttle for getting going uphill.
