The Xtracycle Swoop ASM is a long‑tail cargo e‑bike with a steel frame, a larger front wheel and a smaller rear wheel, and front suspension. It weighs just under 70 lb (31 kg) and includes a double‑telescoping seat post and a quick‑release front handlebar clamp. A rear rack with a U‑shaped kickstand supports cargo, and a rear bag can be attached for additional storage.

The drivetrain uses a single front chainring and a 10‑speed rear cassette, powered by a removable battery that also powers a mid‑mount motor. The motor offers three assist levels controlled by a left‑hand switch, while a right‑hand controller operates the Shimano Cues Di2 electronic derailleur. The derailleur shifts without cables and can complete a gear change using motor assistance when the bike is in motion.

An automatic transmission mode, available in two settings, shifts gears without pedal input, for example during coasting to a stop or acceleration from a stop. The system determines appropriate gear changes from speed, cadence, torque and selected gear, and executes shifts silently when pedal force is reduced.

Riders note that the automatic mode may produce audible clunks if the chain is under tension, and the rear wheel is difficult to access for maintenance. The steel frame provides a comfortable ride, and the single‑battery design eliminates the need for multiple batteries. The price of about $4,500 is comparable to other premium cargo e‑bikes, and the integrated electronic shifting distinguishes the model in the market.
