Welcome to a special edition of our Stories, where we dive into some of our most exciting recent updates, all built with you, our members, at the very heart of them.

This is about the news that actually matter to you. Because while we care deeply about sustainable urban mobility, here's what it really comes down to: your experience on the bike. You're not just a member, you're the reason we keep improving. And your ride just got better.

So let's get into what's new, and what it means for you.

1. The Next-Generation Power 1: An E-Bike Fine-Tuned by You

You told us you wanted more control, more confidence, and a smoother rhythm on city streets. We took those insights straight to our product team with one goal: to build the ultimate urban e-bike.

The next-generation Power 1 is a direct response to your feedback. Engineered and tested to glide over cobblestones, handle busy intersections, and make your daily commute feel effortless, it's designed to feel completely natural in the rhythm of city life.

Here's what's new, and in for you:

• Two hand brakes replacing the pedal brake, giving you better control and more confident stopping at any intersection

• Display moved to the left handlebar, for easier readability at a glance

• SP Connect-compatible phone mount, far more secure than a standard holder

• Boosted power, roller brakes, and new colours upgrade both the ride and the look

2. We Made Pink Happen! 🩷

Who says a blue tyre can't come with a splash of pink? We gave our community the power to vote on a brand-new bike colour and you chose pink, overwhelmingly.

A promise made is a promise kept. We rolled the vibrant new bikes off the line, and now they're out in the world. The pink bike is already turning heads in Paris, Barcelona, and Germany and a few have been spotted in Amsterdam too. Keep an eye on our channels to find out where it's showing up next. 👀

3. Partnering for Good: Swapfiets x Too Good To Go

You’ve told us that making a positive environmental impact is one of the main reasons you choose Swapfiets. We want to make sustainable living as seamless as possible for you, both on and off the saddle.
