Company History
The historic Swift Cycle Co. was among bicycle firms that tried motorization in the veteran era, producing light machines with belt drives and minimal suspension. In modern times the Swift name appears as a distributor badge on small commuters. Across eras the throughline is practicality: simple hardware, straightforward manuals, and local service—mobility over glamour.
