Swagtron, the company, is horrible. One would think that a US company would have some pride. I have the Swagtron EB12 and the Swagcycle pro. Bought the EB12 from Swagtron four yesrs ago for $1100. Now they are $600. Service for tge bikes is horrible. Messages are NEVER returned. Parts are nearly ALL OUT OF STOCK. Dont buy the EB12. I got the swagcycle used for $200. Its a good bike, however the app keeps crashing. It DOES NOT get over 15 miles per charge, even when using the 12mph setting. It will get 11 miles, max. Im going to splice in an additional 36v battery and mount it to the side to resolve the bikes shortcomings. The Swagcycle One is an O.K.bike, Swagtron, the company, sucks.

The problem COULD be your charger and not the battery. Check that its output is the right voltage for your battery pack. For example, a 36V lithium-ion battery pack takes a 42.0V charger. Also, you charger may provide the right voltage, but cut-off charging too early due to overheating. Using the proper cautions, you might try using a different but compatible battery charger to charge the battery to test this theory.
SAFETY ISSUE for lithium battery charging:
Never leave a charging lithium-ion battery unattended.
Always charge them in a safe place like on a cement garage floor or concrete patio with no combustible items near the bike or charger..

You may want to consider replacing the provided battery pack with a pack purchased from a quality seller on the internet. You can buy pre-configured, shrink-wrapped battery configurations…even get custom-made packs to meet unusual dimensions or configurations. Some will provide a connector of your choice…on others you may have to use a soldering iron to change the connector to be compatible with your bike. Soldering is NOT hard. You can probably even substantially increase the Ah and Wh capacity of the battery pack by getting a replacement pack. For example, if the pack is currently 8Ah, you may be able to obtain a 10 or 12Ah pack in the same form-factor at about $150 +/-. Any higher Ah capacity pack will of course take a bit longer to fully charge but it can be well worth it. Make sure any seller you use has a very high customer review rating and customers speak highly of the battery packs provided by the seller.

Bought my swagcycle pro through HSN on sale, great deal, but day it was delivered and my excitement, realized i was missing a part for the seat, took me almost 2 months with multiple calls to both hsn and swagtron to get the part, finally came , cons small light weight compared to my razor metro echosmart, its a dream, con 1 month in blew the rear tube, replacement tube no issue, found good priced ones on amazon, but the hexbolt ended up getting stripped because the allen wrench wouldn’t untighten the darn bolt, took me another 2 months to get some help repairing,. Now back up on the road, another con, the app for the swagcycle not only keeps disconnecting, i have never been able to unlock the 18 speed, no matter how many times ive tried, the darn speedometer never goes past 11 miles an hour, i also notice the battery itself may already not be at max, so i may need to rep,ace by next summer, and i havent located those battery, except one time i saw a very expensive replacement, also no videos on doing this, i i still love my swagtron pro, get tons of people stopping me or waving, but my workhorse scooter razor metro, after replacing stock batteries to 9ah gave me much more speed distance

In my opinion, the bike has numerous defects, and the Warranty is a joke- Be prepared to pack and pay to ship the bike to Indiana ($$$$) to have any warranty repairs made.

If something goes wrong the customer service is terrible.
I have two swag cycles. I have owned them for six months. One of them has spent a total of four months in for repair. The other over a month.
The repair is slow and the company does not answer support emails quickly. I am on the third repair for failure to charge

[…] However, when I use the bike on flat roads, I realized how slow it is, either in the pedal assist or full throttle mode. I couldn’t follow other riders with a normal folding bike. My average speed on this bike is just around 9 mph. It is significantly slower than the SWAGTRON SwagCycle PRO. […]
