Where did the Swift design come from?
Peter Reich created the Swift Folder more than 10 years ago. He refined his design over the last decade and built and sold hundreds of bikes to New Yorkers. In 2004, Xootr LLC evaluated dozens of different bike designs and decided that the Swift Folder was the most elegant design on the market and licensed the Swift Folder from Design Mobility, Peter’s company. We at Xootr worked with Peter to make some additional patent-pending refinements, such as an all-aluminum frame design and a modular dropout system, that were only possible through higher-volume production techniques.
