“Amazing piece of kit, wish I'd bought one years ago. A friend with cycling knowledge had to fit it for me and Swytch provide plenty of instructions and videos to help. Even though it took a few weeks to arrive, it was worth the wait. If you can't justify the cost of an ebike and you want to keep your own bike, I would well recommend Swytch. Cycling us much more enjoyable as I get older and I've tackled a few small hills easily!!”
“Swytch Bike where have you been all my life! I had to stop cycle because of a bum knee and now I am back enjoying the trails on my own bicycle. I could not have asked for more and I am really glad that I took a chance on this startup company. Customer service has been beyond responsive whether I asked a question or needed a replacement part. LOVE MY SWYTCH BIKE!”
“I got excited about the product specially because it does not require to buy a new bike. I didn't exactly know much about bikes, but with a little patience and help of YouTube, I finished installing it in about 2-3 hours. First time, I used it to go around the neighborhood. Since then, I used it to do some grocery shopping and go to meetings in longer distances. The furthest distance I ever went with a fully charged battery on full power with no throttle was 14 miles and I didn't run out. I am not very much in shape so I need assistance going uphill. With swytch bike, I can now make more meetings on bike and burn less fossil fuels. Also, it helps me to do more exercise by bike. It is a sweet upgrade to my life style.”
“I've had the kit for about a year now, and very happy with it. Took me about 2 hours to install, and all has worked smoothly ever since. I looked at full ebikes originally but decided that for the same price as the most basic ebike I could get a really decent hybrid bike and the swytch kit, and would end up with a much nicer, lighter bike that has the added benefit of being able to be used as a standard bike if required, whereas with an ebike you're stuck with it. My original intention was to use it commute to work, but due to covid I am now working permanently from work so that plan has gone out of the window, however I have no regrets as it's such a lot of fun to ride the swytch. The pack itself really works well - better than I imagined it would, up steep hills you still have to put a bit of effort in (particularly as I'm not the lightest rider!) but whereas previously I would be struggling to make it up some hills at all, I can now get up them while still pedalling seated. Given the choice I would still buy the kit now.”
“Although it took a few months to receive, I was pleased to find everything as ordered and very satisfactory. The front wheel and motor assembly is amazing to look at! I opted to buy a new tire and tube for the front wheel as it does not come with one already installed. Instructions showed removing your existing tire and tube and installing them both on the new wheel assembly. I'm sure that would have worked just fine. For me, being new to this installation process, it took a couple of hours figure out and install. The instructions seemed straightforward. I think it might be helpful to reference and even show the 6 photos and one small video required for the registration/warranty process as part of the installation process.
Regarding the operation of the Swytch, it is fun and amazing! You peddle and go! And go fast! You can just barely hear the hum of the electric motor. Tight turns can be a little tricky, but I'm figuring those out. I'm still learning about the different power level settings on the battery pack, still trying to find my favorite. And I can hardly wait to see how it performs on hills.”
“The Universal Pro version of the kit was straight forward to fit with excellent instructions provided. The operation of the kit is brilliant, seamlessly boosting acceleration when starting, dropping off above 15.5MPH and then surging back in again when my speed drops on an incline. I have found the quoted range of 30 miles to be conservative and regularly complete 40 mile trips with 20% battery remaining.”
