Any idea about the maintenance aspect of this foldable bike? How often does it need servicing?
Mark Capili –
Hello Loh Wei Ping, the maintenance aspect for the Ethereal Swift D8 Gen 2 Foldable Bicycle is fairly simple. As with all bikes, it’s recommended to check your bike before each ride – tires, brakes, and gear shifting. A full service, including checking all bolts and screws, cleaning and oiling the chain, and checking the brake pads, should be done every 3-6 months. However, this may vary depending on how often and under what conditions you use your bike. Please make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for individual parts.

While the foldable bike is quite sturdy and convenient, the design could use a bit of work in terms of comfort. It took me some time to get used to the saddle.

Mark Capili –
Hello Daniyal Bin Azman, thanks for taking the time to review our Ethereal Swift D8 Gen 2 foldable bicycle. The frame of this bike is made from a magnesium alloy which is lighter than standard aluminum frame.

Just like you, numerous riders have loved taking it out for long rides irrespective of the weather conditions. Ride safe and enjoy your cycling!
