Swapfiets is a scale-up founded by three students from Delft, The Netherlands. The concept is simple: for a fixed monthly fee you get a Swapfiets bicycle. We will make sure your Swapfiets bicycle always works. Broken anyway? Just give us a call and we provide you with a working bicycle whenever you want, where you want.
In short: Swapfiets is the subscription service that makes you never ever again worry about a broken bicycle.
