How Hard is it to Ride the Swing Bike?

How many likes to try a back flip the swing bike😁

lol when did the whole 'different but kinda the same' intro start?

visually it looks like they’re riding it like ripstick

I remember these style bikes in the 70's. They were super cool! Just watching you fight the beast into the back of your truck made me LOL.

Smart people, toss a heavy canvas blanket over the strap so if it snaps it doesn't go flying off and break shit / people.

Pointless

Do they still make these?

try to attach a motorbike handlebar shock absorber to the back.

Where can I buy one of those??? I'd pay $1000 for it, but i just can't find a place where I could buy this

Its supposed to be bent.

Looks creepy in an uncanny way
Just like how a spider or snake freaks you out with its weird movement

Interesting bike. I'm just a commuter so I'm not into that, but it would make a nice full sized folding bike if you could lock it fixed and the hinge better.

could you ride it with the front wheal fixed, only stearing with the back of your bike?

Thanks to you, they doubled the price ;)

I hope schwinn makes one and calls it the swingray

Kinda feels like a big safety hazard to have this entire bike foldin on itself and crush your leg

That dog is NUTS

Stupid bike, can't believe it's built.

now turn it into an eBike!

Put sram axis shifting a fox suspension fork and a dropper post on it

that looks like so much dumb fun....i need one

I wanted to see it split across both forks of the snake pit.

Bro what?? Bust out that giant BMX for a Video please!

Could some one give me the link to the original swing bike video? I can’t find it

Wheezing at the fact that the video starts off by showing exactly why you probably don’t want one of these bikes 🤣

I had a 20'' swing bike back in the 80's there easy to ride

in the 80s my freinds dad made one. We were able to ride wheelies on it

I had the chance back in 1980 to try (briefly) a swing bike indoors. It took about 10 minutes to figure it out but I was only allotted a 30 minute stint with it. That one had the rear pivot directly below the seat rather than the twin tubes of this example.

Can you ride it hands free?

How did you break it?

Coolest bike

Make this a tandem where the rear rider controls the pivot 🤣

I would love to see a dual hub motor e-bike kit on this. Front motor straightening it out, rear motor making it move like a ballerina.

Giovanni giorgio approved

Older models had locking pin where could have as normal bike

I've ridden my home made swing bike on 60+ mile party rides in the East Bay, everybody loves it, lol

Don’t use the tow ball when winching you could die

I've built about 20 iterations of these bikes and if you get the geometry correct you can ride with no hands,
they are fun.

I’m a body man 😂😂

Put it on my body shop 😂😂

That pivot point is a serious design flaw. That’s a high stress point that needs to be supported on both sides.

Ok I want one 🙂

riding a swing bike is definitely a great workout to be fair.

The original Swing Bike from the 70’s from the inventor is awesome compared to these copy cats.

I LOVE IT TO THE MAX

The original 1970s design had the second pivot point totally under the seat. You can't adjust the seat but the pivot bar is bend resistant.

Would you like another one for your collection? I’m down in Burlington and visit Asheville often.

swing bike legit looks like an improvement on bikes if they made the bent part more rigid

nothing can go wrong the green car going backwards
