Its 80-mile max range (achievable with smart pedal assist!) means charging weekly, not daily. The responsive 500W MOTINOVA mid-drive motor paired with a torque sensor intuitively amplifies your pedaling effort, making hills feel flat and long distances fly by. Reach your 20 MPH top speed smoothly and efficiently, turning sprawling campuses into easily navigable neighborhoods. Arrive energized, not exhausted. Promo Perk: Use the $200 you save (see below!) on a great helmet and lock!

 "I'm on a Student Budget. Can I Afford This?"

Let's talk real student economics. Compare the Swift M's price to a parking permit, gas, bus passes, or rideshares over just one semester. Suddenly, it looks like smart investing. And right now, it's smarter than ever! For Back-to-School, we've slashed the price of the feature-packed Swift M Mid-Drive.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL PRICE: $1,799.00 USD!
That's $200 OFF – serious savings that stays in your pocket. This isn't just a cheap e-bike; it's a premium machine (think Shimano hydraulic brakes, TFT color display, LG battery cells) offered at an incredible value. Quality + savings = the ultimate student win.

"City/Campus Riding Feels Chaotic & Uncomfortable."

Navigating busy quads, bike lanes, and uneven paths demands confidence. The Swift M delivers:

Mid-Drive Magic: The central motor weight gives balanced, natural handling like a regular bike – crucial for quick maneuvers.

Hydraulic Suspension Fork (100mm travel): Eats up potholes and curb cuts, keeping you comfortable and in control. Lock it out for smooth pavement efficiency.

Stability Built-In: The lightweight 6061 aluminum frame and 2.1" Kenda tires provide a planted, confident ride on any surface.

Pure Riding Experience: Pedal Assist Only (5 levels) means intuitive, controlled acceleration that complies with most campus e-bike rules (Class 1). No jerky throttles, just you and the bike working seamlessly together.

 "I Need to Carry Stuff & Get Home Safely After Dark!"

The Swift M is built for real student life:

Commute Ready: The integrated aluminum rear rack and fender easily handles your backpack, groceries, or even a pizza box. No wobbly add-ons!

See & Be Seen: Powerful front and rear LED lights (30 LUX) ensure you're visible for those late-night library sessions or early morning rides.

Stop on a Dime: Shimano Hydraulic Disc Brakes with 180mm rotors provide reliable, all-weather stopping power – essential for unexpected campus crossings or rainy fall days.

Smart Display: The TFT color screen shows your speed, battery level, assist mode, and distance clearly, even in sunlight, so you're always informed.

Removable LG Battery: The high-capacity 48V 15Ah (720Wh) battery slides out easily for charging in your dorm room or apartment.

FAQs: Your Swift M & E-Bike for Campus Questions Answered

Q: Is the Swift M legal on campus bike paths?
A: Absolutely! The Swift M is a Class 1 E-bike (pedal-assist only, up to 20 MPH). This is the classification most widely permitted on bike paths, multi-use trails, and campuses across the US and Canada. Always check your specific campus regulations, but it's designed for compliance.

Q: How long does the battery REALLY last on a charge?
A: The max 80-mile range is achieved under ideal conditions (Eco mode, flat terrain, moderate weight). For typical student use (mix of assist levels, some hills, backpack), expect a highly practical 40-60 miles per charge. The easily removable battery makes charging in your room simple.

Q: Is it secure? How do I prevent theft on campus?
A: Campus theft is a real concern. Always use a high-quality U-lock (or two!) through the frame and rear wheel. Securing it in well-lit, high-traffic areas or designated bike rooms is best. Consider a secondary cable for the front wheel. Registering your bike serial number is also wise.

Q: How hard is maintenance? I'm not a bike mechanic!
A: The Swift M uses standard, reliable components (Shimano drivetrain, hydraulic brakes). Basic maintenance like keeping tires inflated, the chain lubricated, and brakes checked is straightforward. Most campus towns have bike shops familiar with e-bikes for more complex servicing. It's generally low-maintenance.

Q: Can I ride it in the rain or during fall weather?
A: Yes! The Swift M has an IP65 rated motor and is built to handle typical wet weather. The hydraulic disc brakes perform well in the rain, and the fenders help keep you cleaner. Avoid deep puddles and submerging components. Always dry it off after a wet ride when possible.

Q: Is it too heavy to carry up stairs to my apartment?
A: The Swift M weighs 59 lbs (26.8kg) including the battery. While manageable for short distances or loading, regularly carrying it up multiple flights of stairs could be challenging. The removable 8.4 lb (3.8kg) battery makes it lighter to maneuver. Consider ground-floor storage or a bike room if stairs are a major hurdle.

Embrace the freedom of campus life this fall. Ride Swift. Ride VELOWAVE.
