London, Friday 31st March 2023: The World’s first bike subscription company Swapfiets has today announced the world’s first E-Unicycle monthly subscription service as it celebrates the quirky ways Londoners get around the city.

Following another successful year in the UK, the hassle-free bike subscription company Swapfiets – coined ‘Netflix of bikes’ – is paying tribute to the more unconventional forms of cycling, adding the ‘Solo Power 1’ to its selection of world-class bikes and E-bikes.

The new model welcomes a whole new crowd of commuters, reaching speeds of up to 15 mph and featuring a hub powered LED light; it’s the perfect alternative for powering yourself to work this season.

The stylish E-Unicycle joins Swapfiets’ Power 1 and Power 7 as the latest electric offering from the brand and will be available on subscription for just £50.99 per month. As with all Swapfiets subscriptions, included in the price is:

• Free delivery
• A double lock for added security
• Anti-theft protection, with a free replacement if stolen
• Maintenance and repair service on demand
• Guarantee that if there are any problems, the product will be swapped out for another model in 48 hours or less

The ‘Solo Power 1’ will be available from the Swapfiets store in Shoreditch, London from today

The concept of Swapfiets is quite simple: for a monthly subscription fee, Swapfiets members receive a fully functional bicycle or e-mobility solution for their own use. If needed, a repair service is available within 48 hours to repair or directly swap the two-wheeler at no additional cost.

On the launch, Katarina Hlavata, UK Country Manager said: “We had an incredible year in London last year, introducing the Power 7 and Power 1 e-bike models into the UK market and gaining our B-Corp status, we wanted to keep that momentum of growth going.

The ‘Solo Power 1’ can be taken for a short test ride from the Swapfiets store located at 58 Commercial Street. New members can sign-up in the store or at www.swapfiets.com.
