“Love my Swytchbike kit! I set it up on my bike for riding around town and it’s super stylish and seemless. I can get pretty much anywhere without breaking a sweat. I’m in a one car household - definitely with Swytch there’s no need for a second car. I also find it really useful to have the detachable battery pack. I like that the bike doesn't stand out as an ebike due to how inconspicuous the kit is.”

“The basic concept of the Swytch is beautiful. A battery + controller that you simply install on your bike. You simply remove the battery to recharge it - simple. It is perfect if you want to stop for lunch or just recharge at your desk at work as I do on my 30 mile commute. The downside is the technology. It's new and heavy electronic components bouncing on tracks are always going to suffer. There were also assembly errors from the Chinese factory. The upside - swear free cycling into work across the Epsom Downs where my main traffic issues are the awesome racehorses being exercised. All the fun of being a club cyclist without the sweat.”

“A great little system. The 50 mile unit seems pretty efficient. Charges well, and propels you along nicely up to 15mph. Range seems okay, with 50 miles achievable at a lower assistance level or with more determined pedalling rather than relaxing! With very little pedalling (i.e. virtually none with an optional thumb throttle), you’ll still get around 20 miles out of the battery.”

“Great kit to convert my Brompton. In my 70's I now cycle again like a young person. The kit was easy to fit and there is support from Swytch if you have any problems. I consider myself lucky to have been an early supporter. By”

“LOVE MY SWYTCH! I am able to take my Brompton out everyday because I can now conquer all the hills with the pedal assist. I'm a middle aged not so fit woman just trying to use my bicycle more. Biking does not have to be painful anymore.”

“Best DYI e-bike kit out there. Everything fit seamlessly. No technical modifications needed on your bike. Only basic tools needed and you're done, enjoying the road and the outdoors. Love my kit! Thanks Swytch!”

“I have the brompton kit. I think I'm one of the firsts to have it here down under. The product is great and the installation was relatively easy. The only problem is with the pedal sensor. You need to readjust it frequently. Other than that is the reliability issue. Mine had a problem with the controller. However, the team handled this and sent me another controller. I have to applaud them for this. The customer service response time was a bit slow though. But they are still a small company. I hope they could improve on this.”

“My Swytch kit is a life changer. I have a mobile bike business (Phototrike.com) and use a customized adult trike. There are plenty of e-bikes out there, but e-trikes? Good luck unless it's a recumbent. With my Swytch, it was easy to convert my 5 speed trike to an ebike! Now I can take my trike anywhere in the city and not have to worry about hills or showing up sweaty. It also helps me get going faster after coming to a stop. I honestly could not operate this business without Swytch.”

“It just works! It took me about an hour to electrify my Brompton. And then I went out for a quick 20 mile bike ride up the Hudson River (in NYC). This weekend I took it for a long ride in Vermont. It's so simple. Well done, Swytchers.”

“Strangely I came across the swytch ebikes kit by accident when I was looking for a way to carry a moped on the back of my campervan. I needed a way of getting about when my camper was set up on a site out of town. Turning one of my existing bikes into an ebike proved to be the ideal solution. The kit was easy to fit and a joy to use. It's also very cheap to use as I can charge the ba,ttery from the solar panels on my camper and unlike a moped there is no tax or insurance to pay. The swytch kit is a real no brainer for cost effective local transport.”

“Swytch 700c 50 mile kit We have had our Marin San Rafael hybrid bikes for about six years at our house in France. However, due to the pretty difficult hills around there, we had hardly used them. The conversion kit appeared to provide a really good solution, to using existing good bikes, with little wear and tear, without going down the ‘another new bike’ scenario! We had read a few reviews and seen some information on the net regarding the kits...but in the end we took a chance when we bought the two conversion kits. However, we have not been disappointed in any way at all! Great things 1. The kits arrived post free to our house in France. 2. Customer service re. a change of delivery address was good. 3. We took our time fitting the kits, and in all it took about 1.5 hours for both bikes. I had seen some reviews that suggested using sugru as an adhesive for the sensor, and had bought some in anticipation. That was a good thing, as it was needed for our conversion. The adhesive has been excellent. Adapting the sensor was easy. The whole conversion was without problems. 4. The power is easily adjusted, and in conjunction with gear changes, optimises the power available. 5. When we did have a minor problem, we had good support, and the issue was resolved very quickly. 6. We have cycled quite a bit since converting our bikes, and the power is delivered efficiently when you need it. This has included category 4 climbs. 7. The bikes don’t look like they are running on electric power! 8. The overall weight of the bike is considerably less than a pure electric bike. 9. Easy to fit. 10. Magic carpet experience. We would recommend it to anyone who wants Ann exsisting bike electrified”

“This kit as allowed me to get back on my bike again, I was a keen cyclist a number of years ago but got out of the habit now with the Swytch kit fitted its like having a partner helping me out. Still remember the first time I used the kit and was amazed at how much help I got.”

“We are delighted with our Swytch-powered Tandem. It makes all the difference on the hills. Even though we've fitted the Swytch motor to a heavy duty expedition tandem frame and with the weight of two people, we still get many miles of assistance. A second bonus was the thumb throttle ... an great boost for those tricky starts in heavy traffic.”
