Swifty First Descents - Mt. Snowdon, Wales UK

swiftyscooters.com/
The first in a series of videos in which we become the first to ride down some of the most iconic peaks in the UK on Swifty Air MK2.
This series is also designed to show off what is possible on a Swifty scooter and how getting out into the great outdoors gives a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of city living.
Swifty Air has a super strong aluminium frame and weighs in at only 8.9kg, this rugged yet lightweight design in combination with high-spec, double-wall, 36-spoke wheels sporting Maxxis Hookworm tyres means that downhilling is no longer reserved for MTB!

I ordered Air MK2 and got it, I put everything together and it's so solid I love it I always wanted and adult scooter to ride. I took my daughter out for about 45 minutes and we bought had fun, I also ordered the front step for kids to stand on. I'm so happy to receive such a scooter and amazed that you made such a thing I always wanted growing up. I weigh 250 pounds and the scooter held me and my 29 pound daughter and road smooth. Thank you for creating this I want to buy my daughter one when she gets a little older so we can have fun together and the quality of the scooter is so worth the price. Thank you swifty 🙂👍

[@EnergyReturnWheel]

Great job Lads! We are impressed with your engineering!

[@boatman222345]

Great video of a scooter in action! Loved the soundtrack!

[@AndrejGobec]

Epic! Balls of steel!

[@kickbiker7920]

Exhilarating. Well filmed! Love it!

[@section23]

Awesome video guys. Great project too!

[@iqraiqra9172]

I'd like to mention that I think your product is excellent and brings me back to my first kick scooter years ago, I'll definitely be buying one inshallah god willing at some point, keep up the good work, umar 😁

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

Thanks buddy! Stay tuned we have more videos coming real soon.

[@bookerbulls]

awesome job. i did llanberis path a couple weeks back on my mtb, your vid even got the spot i stacked it on lol. was all good and a awesome ride down

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

bookerbulldogs thanks dude! Yes epic isn't it. Planning Ben Nevis next!

[@thebritishpilgrim4850]

Beautifully made video, makes me crave some altitude and a good view 😁

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

The British Pilgrim yes exactly!

[@oddity4650]

Another thing what I like about the company is it seems the company is done by one guy, that guy on the scooter, I think that is great doing things yourself, yes sure there is others involved but it seems like he does a lot of the testing, discussions, acting etc.

[@stephenh.3094]

Fast forward to 1:47. Your Welome.

[@JivecattheMagnificent]

That was bloody epic, hahah.

[@TetrisToasty]

Keen to see these scooters in Australia!

[@baltazar7494]

superbe vidéo ! !!!! À quand la Swifty one avec garde-boue ? ????? 😃😃

[@nikolaikostyna3330]

WOW!!! SUPER!!!

[@PeterKenyon]

Looks great and a lot of fun. Is it available in Australia?

[@Xanduur]

Yep. Definitely could handle day-to-day commuting.

[@BarryAllen..]

on your site it has a dividebuy option, is that a real option or a random advert? I felt it best to ask before clicking it.

[@georgeknox]

Sweet video...I hope you come to the US soon.

[@georgeknox]

Sweet!! Wishing you the best of luck in LV, sell sell sell...Let me know if you ever need a US rep...HA

[@oddity4650]

What i like about that scooter is it seems you can just disconnect the electronic part for doing things like that, then when you get at the bottom you could reconnect the electronic part then use it as a e scooter.

[@Dude-Smellmyhelmet]

Reminds me of the old '80s GT zoot scoot. I wish i still had mine

[@Unknown-lj2kw]

Nice name

[@rhiannonstudios]

Is there provision to add a bash plate underneath on these, I’m thinking about what that nicely painted frame would look like after one outing around where I live in the Peaks, If it’s alloy surely most of the metal would be ground away after a month 🤷‍♂️

[@mazecentric4124]

If there was only a mountain that was downhill both ways. Hoping my next life is in five dimensions!

[@ALMX5DP]

Get an e-scooter!

[@solidangel2006]

Amazing !!! Great stuff, wonderful achievement ! Is there any other route to the top? I would REALLY want to try this ! Peace and love from another kick fellow 🙏

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

Thanks, yes lots of routes to do. Subscribe to our newsletter and stay in touch, we will be setting up a free Swifty event soon.......

[@nathanortiz3869]

super cool

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

Thanks

[@aceyorba]

Blackstar Canyon in SoCal would be a great ride...

[@agentminaung7865]

Yes

[@jshcarmonakc]

Thanks!

[@forestflood5338]

When are you doing more of these, I'm on the fence of getting one, but I want to see more offroad swifty air videos

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

Light Jolly hello, yes we are planning another video this summer! Stay tuned.

[@forestflood5338]

That's great to hear, I'm impressed of how capable this little scooter is, without all the bells and whistles of a mountain bike

[@ecocasebikes127]

Fabricamos patinetes no Brasil!!!

[@JogieGlenMait16]

my gawd this is so rad...he really did it, didn't he?

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

Jogie Glen Mait yep we did!

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

Of course, for sure, was rad!

[@andymullins84]

[@galiciadesdemimoto]

Estaría bien que ubiese una mochila o algo cómodo para transportarlo en laa subidas

[@ashi6838]

How does it run on asphalt? Is it fast? And how are the breaks? I noticed they don't have disc..

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

Ashi hi yep fine on Tarmac. Brakes are v-type strong and reassuring. Disks are coming soon!

[@ashi6838]

thats good news! Just hope they arent going to cost more than the MK2 model, it's budgetbreaking already:)

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

Ashi yep sorry we are not for everyone's wallet and budget. We are however a small company dedicated to delivering the best we can. Unfortunately this comes at a premium. Plenty of other lesser quality product out there on Amazon etc. Finally we will have a payment option soon that allows payment over time. Stay tuned and sign up to our news letter.

[@scotticus80]

vbrakes are stronger than disc brakes, except when wet.

[@kudosbudo]

@@scotticus80 Wish somebody would tell my v brakes that. I thinks its something to do with the Skyways I put on my Swifty. In the wet its now no bloody different to dry metal rims haha.

[@BLEACHno1fanKH]

I plan on buying another scooter trying to decide between swifty one or air i want to use it mainly for exercise/ commuting how well does swifty one handle dirt in comparison to air ive read its quite hard pushing the swifty air if you are just commuting?

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

Hello, I would recommend the AIR in this case as there is a large wheel tyre selection for this product.

[@BLEACHno1fanKH]

wow that was a fast reply thanks

[@BLEACHno1fanKH]

also im 5'9 would this be a comfortable height if i bought the air?

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

Yes, perfect height. I am the rider in the video and i'm 5ft 10ins.

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

P.S black SwiftyAIR is sold out - only white left until new stock arrives in the summer

[@GabrielMartinez-xp1uk]

what kind of scooter is this called or bike? lol like what type so I may look at it he options as well

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

This is a SwiftyAIR adult scooter, click here for the spec: swiftyscooters.com/swiftyair-mk2-black

[@jborrego2406]

Look up kick bike popular in Europe they have ones just like normal size bikes An bikes with thin tire An fat tire for the kick bikes

[@charlieharper2529]

i think it is great concept, but for this, downhill rough terrain, i would rather use bigger front wheel, at least 16" with BMX tire

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

Charlie Harper thanks for your comments. Our wheels are 16inch 305mm and in the video we are riding on Maxxis Hookworm tyres.

[@tonyofarrell2775]

The Swifty tyres are all 16 inch, I have two of their scooters ,no problems great fun

[@billh4946]

[@skullcam]

i would love to build one of these swifty scooters into a electric scooter..feel free to sponsor me ..it would be awesome ..to represent your product... .......dreaming big.skullcam...

[@eastwood111]

skullcam Same here! I was thinking of making it chain driven with 1000 W motor.

[@sarahkemp6493]

Cute :)

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

Thanks nice feedback!

[@saki2789]

En España tenemos la marca GRAVITY SCOOTERS son muy comodos y para todos los terrenos. La rueda grande da mayor estabilidad en terreno acidentado. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH6nhalmrdZ-oMU En España tenemos las mismas montañas, pero con más horas de luz solar, más calor y sol, sobre todo en verano. Este del video Swifty cumple la caracteristica del poco peso, es facilmente trasportable

[@asiabruno4460]

hola no se si entiendan esto pero estabas al borde de la muerte bro traduccion hello I don't know if you understand this but you were on the verge of death bro

[@Agumon5]

No doubt you guys make some good scooters. With that said, they are definitely pricey.

[@kudosbudo]

So I've had my swifty for over a year. Its had some right abuse. I learnt to foot jam tailwhip on it and have traken it over rough terrain and jumps. The thing is still solid and looks as good as new. It takes very little maintenance. And I'm not exactly a liught guy (117kg some days). The original wheel shave held up to MANY failed 180 jump attempts now and are still true and the frame isn't broken so in my book worth it.

[@kwingy11]

It's worth the money in my option. I have taken my MK2 AIR everywhere down cross country, jumps, skate parks and even take my son to school on it (he stands at the front) and it has never failed me. If I stack it that's on me and not the scooter. I also have zero knowledge on bike maintenance (I don't even own a bike) and yet I do very little to maintain this other then just to pump air into the tires once in a while. It's so low maintenance. Also fits in my estate without the need to fold seats down. I have definitely felt I have got my monies worth.

[@Agumon5]

@@kwingy11 I'm sure it might be for some, but I spend $140 bucks on my Razor A6 and I've been using it at least 3 days per week for my commute over the last 4 months, haven't had a problem with it yet. Is it as premium as these? Hell no. But I also don't need a scooter that rides on rough terrain. I just need something to get me from point A to point B on smooth sidewalks.

[@kwingy11]

@@Agumon5 yeah that's fair. My comment was merely to say that if people were on the fence about the price then in my experience it has been total worth the money and has been one of my best investments this year. My son who is only 5 actually loves using it himself as well and I feel confident that it would last that long enough to pass it to him when he is older.

[@marksallai2289]

@@Agumon5 I got the A6 good scooter and very fast on flat surfaces - but it rattle quite a bit steering nut loosens - would love to try one of these out especially for longer distances and rougher roads

[@crazyadventuresandreviews]

This is what I like about Europe people still do manual type bikes over here in USA u hardly see people not using battery powered or gas lazy Americans I’m in the wrong country

[@stephenh.3094]

Better bikes out there. Needs a minimum 20" front wheel, maybe even 26" front and 20" rear. C'mon, nice vid but you shoulda built a better kick bike if you wanna compete for people's hard earned $$

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

Thanks for your concern Stephen - we hope the video is inspirational - whichever wheels you prefer to ride. Have a nice day!

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

having said that, it'd be wise to think twice about climbing Crib Goch with anything bigger and heavier - might need to get the train up!

[@tonyofarrell2775]

It's not a bike.Why not try one first?

[@kudosbudo]

@@tonyofarrell2775 I think OP is referrign to large wheeled down hill kick scooters. Would love if Swifty made one to be honest...

[@James-rf2ln]

I like how it shows him climbing some sort of death peak but then he rides down a perfectly smooth manmade road. Fake

[@Dude-Smellmyhelmet]

More climbing than riding.

[@SwiftyScootersTV]

It did take a couple of hours to get up, and about 20 minutes to get down, so yes, I suppose you're right!

[@Dude-Smellmyhelmet]

@@SwiftyScootersTV haha. I really just meant in the video. But yea I would expect to climb alot. Looks super fun though!

[@user-dt9jr5og3q]

с таким клиренсом я бы побоялся по камням прыгать

Boring

[@Alecbassindale2024]

If this doesn't want to make you go up a mountain and scoot.. nothing "wheel"
