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:

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’ is an exciting next step in encouraging more Londoners to get involved in the subscription model and start enjoying seeing the city in a completely new way; on one wheel!"
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.
