What is a shaft drive bicycle?

A shaft drive bicycle uses a fully-encased carbon steel shaft in place of the chain to turn the rear wheel. Unlike a chain, it will not rust, fall off, or work loose.

Do honeycomb airless tires really never go flat?

Yes. Swell Bike tires are tubeless, honeycomb rubber tires that require no air, so they will never go flat.

Can I customize Swell Bike fleet colors with my brand?

Yes — every Swell fleet is custom, from frame color and logos to saddle stitching. You can also add your phone number or other graphics, protected by a UV-protective top coat. Fleet orders are $575 per bike, fully customized, with a 100-bike minimum.

How is Swell Bike different from a normal cruiser?

Swell Bike removes the common failure points of a traditional cruiser: the chain becomes a fully-encased shaft drive, air-filled tires become airless honeycomb rubber, and rim-brake cables give way to a coaster brake. Stainless steel hardware is used throughout.

What maintenance does a Swell Bike require?

The encased shaft drive only requires greasing twice a year, and the airless tires never need air. Maintenance happens on your schedule.

Can I buy a single Swell bike?

Swell Bike builds custom fleets for hotels, resorts, vacation rental agencies and similar operators, with a 100-bike minimum order. Single Swell bikes are $799, available only while current inventory lasts. For single bikes, our sister brand Beach Bike offers The Cruiser with a Dayco belt drive.
