EPED Swift
The design and comfort of a moped. The freedom of a bicycle.
Built for the journeys you make every day.
Freedom by Design
Driving every short trip adds up, and cycling isn't for everyone. We thought there should be another way.
The EPED Swift
Four years. Six versions. Every detail considered.
Every version brought the same things closer: an upright seat you step onto easily, a ride that soaks up everyday roads, and room for what the day needs.
-
A wide, upright seat keeps your head up and your view clear, and the low step-through frame means no swinging a leg over a crossbar, even in work clothes.
-
Front suspension forks and twin rear shock absorbers take the sting out of potholes and speed bumps, and the chain drive is enclosed, out of the way.
-
Disc brakes front and rear, for confident, controlled stopping.
It looks like a moped. It's classified as a bicycle.
The Swift is an electrically assisted pedal cycle, or EAPC. Its 250W continuous-rated motor helps only while you pedal, and stops helping at 15.5mph. So you ride it on the same terms as a bicycle, without a moped's paperwork.
- No driving licence
- No vehicle tax
- No MOT
- No registration
- No compulsory motor insurance
For compliant use in Great Britain, by riders aged 14 and over.
Where you can rideRunning costs
More miles. Less money.
Charge at home from a household socket. See what your everyday journeys could cost.
About 10p
of electricity to ride 50 miles, charging off-peak
Exact figure on these assumptions: 8.8p
Petrol for the same 50 miles: £7.07 (45 mpg, 140p a litre)
Assumes 1.1 kWh from the socket per full charge, 50 miles per charge and 8p per kWh. The battery stores about 1.0 kWh (48 V × 20.8 Ah); the extra 0.1 kWh allows roughly 10% for charging losses. Your tariff, riding and charging will differ.
Your journey, on your terms
Made for the trips in between.
Work, the shops, friends across town. The Swift goes when you're ready and parks where a bicycle parks.
