MEET THE FOUNDERS
Swifty was founded in 2010 by Jason and Camilla Iftakhar in Manchester UK.
Their story began when Jason Iftakhar designed and built the world's first premium foldable adult kick-scooter, SwiftyONE MK1. They used the early prototypes to navigate the streets of London, and quickly discovered the freedom and versatility of commuting with this two-wheeled foldable dream machine.
The couple has built a legacy of innovation in scooter design and Swifty is at the forefront of the UK’s micromobility industry. Swifty won Best Start-Up 2023 at Micromobility Industries summit in San Francisco, find out more in the Journal.
“Our scooters are designed to provide the ultimate ride. In order to have the most fun on a scooter, handling, stability and safety are paramount.
“We design scooters without compromise. Swifty’s defining feature of the 16-inch spoked wheels provides the sweet spot between a smooth, flowy ride and compact foldability.” Co-founder Jason Iftakhar
