Universal Swytch eBike Kit Reviews

4.8 Rating 352 Reviews
My Swytch kit is one of the best products I have bought in ages. I was not sure what to expect, so my expectations were pretty low. After I got it set up I was blown away. I had a decent Giant E-bike pre-2010 and I was pretty underwhelmed. It had a 250 watt motor on it. So I thought the Swytch kit might be underpowered. Not-at-all. The new sine wave controller makes it super buttery smooth and silent. Power is fantastic. (I wish the top end speed was a hair more - that is my only complaint). The battery pack mounting system is beautifully designed. Swytch crushed it on providing both form and function. What put me off with most other add-on kits is that they just look dumb. Swytch actually added cool-factor to my bike. It just enhances the capabilities of my bike, while maintaining the feel of a regular bike (unlike some of the other monsterous ebikes out there). Needless to say it has my vote!

Having a Swytch kit on my bike now means that I can arrive at work fresh and non stressed. It’s like having a friendly hand pushing you up the hills so there’s no need to break a sweat. I love that I can still pedal independently if I want some exercise though.

This Universal Swytch eBike Kit is absolutely fabulous, just fitted to my Jorvik Folding Tricycle (24” wheels) - yes a long wait to receive it due to both COVID and Brexit (both beyond anyone’s control), but excellent aftercare assistance when I found I had not ordered enough throttle cable due to the nature of my Dutch style handlebars (received 2 more extension cables in 3 working days) - I just look forwards now to a few nice days to test out the range of the battery (but I already have experienced the sheer joy of not struggling up any more of our local hills). My husband also found a to be an easy fit, just centralising the Cadence Sensor needs a bit of patience.

Fantastic product. very impressed with the build quality and love my new electric bike. Pretty easy to install, but I did need a little bit of extra support to get the kit to fit my 30+ year old bike and Swych were brilliant with the support. If you aren't going to be happy that it will take the quoted 5-6 months to arrive then don't order. however Swytch keep you well informed of the delivery process and links to the ship that's brining your kit to the UK

Bought the swytch kit for my "Genesis tour de fer" bike. Although the order was delayed due to covid, when the kit arrived it was clear that this was a really well made solution, manufactured to the highest quality. Very easy to fit and the customer service is great. Well done Swytch !!

Although the current worldwide pandemic pushed my ETA way back in November (I live near Montreal, Canada so, hello -10 normal temperatures!), I managed to do a few test runs before true winter knocked at our door and wow, what a joy! I was so eager to test it again that, for the first time in my life (58 years old) I rode my bike in January! People (including myself before I got my kit) think that electric bike equals less exercise, but in fact, the power assistance eliminates all the irritations that would ruin a pleasant moment for the average rider: muscle-tearing hills, strong headwind on the return leg, the energy drop in the middle of the ride... And if you want to take a break without halting the whole caravan, you can do so with the throttle! (In Canada it's permitted, lucky us!) So I'm thrilled just thinking of the coming summer with my new vehicle, exploring every hidden road around my countryside without worrying about losing power (human power that is!...) in the middle of the run!

I haven't had the chance to ride it too much yet, but installation was a breeze even on a 25+ year old bike. I like the simple design and it easily fit my need to repurpose my old bike.
