Review on Revolutionize Your Ride With The Swagtron Swagcycle Pro Folding Electric Bike: Fully App-Enabled And Packed With Features! by James Morrow

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A cheap Ebike that's what you get is what you pay for.

Now I don't write a lot of reviews cause I simply don't have the time, however, after using this bike and having to purchase it twice, I feel that I must. I'll explain via the rating features on Best Buy:Easy to Assemble:This is generally true. When you receive the bike, it comes with some simple instructions. Simply shift the handlebars into place, assemble the bike seat, and fill the tires! You have a working Ebike. Although the seat is rather tricky to wrap your head around, once you understand it all makes sense and it's the only real hard part of having to assemble the bike when you get it. Docked 1 star simply cause the seat is so strange and the instructions barely do it justice.Sturdiness:This is where I have significant issues. I have bought, returned, and bought another bike because I didn't want to let all the equipment I bought go to waste. Unfortunately, while the overall construction of the bike is solid, everything else is cheap and almost feels like an afterthought. The LED light on the front of the bike is ultra cheap and WILL get damaged should any kind of force hits it. Think like a $2 flashlight but at least it's bright.The tire covers? The plastic bits that arch over the tires are ill placed and odd. You WILL have to fiddle and move these around because when you first get the bike, on both of my accounts, they are so close and tight to the tires that they often straight up clamp the tire. Moving it back fixes this but it's not always perfect and they often produce noise from rubbing.But the WORST offender are the tires. Specifically, the back tire. The first bike had the rear tire blow out whilst I was riding and was the reason I returned it. "Well, sometimes these things happen" I thought and just felt like perhaps the bike I got was faulty. Before receiving the second bike, I preformed lots of research and tool gathering to properly ensure that my next one will be well taken care of. Well, unfortunately, to my surprise despite doing basically everything right and going above the average bike care. The back tire has once again burst and I have literally no idea what. I check pressure once a week to make sure the tires have no issues. Imagine my surprise when I leave the grocery store, go to leave, find out the back tire is flat and won't inflate because the tire has burst. Again.Only reason this category has 1 star is because the bike works like a dream when things are right.Comfort:Pretty comfortable. Pretty standard bike. The default seat is rather hard and cheap but the posture and the way the bike is makes it generally pretty easy and comfortable to use. Docking points because this bike has very little in the way of shock absorption so even hitting small ditches in the city will toss you a little.
