“I have just fitted my swytch kit having received it last week. All I can say is it an excellent system and very easy to fit. The only mistake I initially made was with fitting the disk brake. The screws for the disk brake are in the hub already but you need to remove the plastic spacer that is being held on with the screws to ensure the disk lines up. If is wasn't for my mistake it would have only taken me 30 mins to fit it. I am managing to get around 50Km per charge but that is on the maximum power setting. As the battery only takes about 3 hours to charge its not an issue to worry about. I did take the optional throttle but have not fitted it yet and I don't think it is really needed as the cadence detector on the pedals allows the power to kick in quickly.
Overall it will allow my miserable commutes in the rain to be more enjoyable and to overtake those horrible electric scooters that have been overtaking me in the past.”
“Great product and instructions.
Easy to install (90mins) and provides great performance.
At cruising speed you need to keep peddling to maintain power, which I really like for fitness.
A revolution to normal bike riding.”
“I was willing to buy an eBike, while at the same time I didn't want to stop using my beloved Specialized Sirrus, when I ran into the Swytch commercial video with Dmitro and Oliver. I loved the idea and the overall aesthetics. At first a bit skeptical because of all rubbish sold online, including some crap conversion kits, I started looking at DIY videos and going through reviews of the Swytch kit and decided to immediately apply to preorder one! It took a while, but the wait was definitely worth it! I chose the black wheel option to better fit my bike, and the standard kit without any other add-ons (I just wanted something to help me if tired or in case of really steep climbs, as I don't use my bike for commuting, but only for rides with my friends). Well, after some days I can say I'm more than happy! The ignition of the kit is very gradual, does not immediately affect the pedaling and makes everything natural and fluid. The weight of the battery on the handlebar is imperceptible, it seems to me that I have not made any changes! A huge plus is the fact that, in the case of normal use of the bike without the Swytch kit, without the battery the overall weight of the bike remains practically the same as before - which is also great for being able to load it in the car or store it on a bike rack. Perhaps the only negative aspect is that disassembling the front wheel becomes more complicated than before due to the bolts and for fear of damaging the connectors (which in my case I also protected with heat shrink sleeves), in fact disassembling the rear wheel is a bit more annoying. The hook on the handlebar is very small and allowed me not to move any of the accessories (bell and computer), it seems designed for my bike! The LED integrated in the battery is excellent in an emergency, plus it consumes very little, and the Swytch logo is really nice! The kit is tiny and fits easily into any backpack: moreover, in less than 3 hours it recharges completely. Last but not least, the customer support is exceptional. I had the pleasure of writing to Simon, always available to clarify any doubts, precise and perfect. I am very happy with my purchase!”
“I started using my ‘Swytched‘ bike and it has been fantastic. Hitting those hills is much easier. I had some hiccups when converting my bike but Swytch technical team helped me every step of the way.”
“Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to save money, I was looking at some Bosch eBikes in Bristol which were very expensive. I think this kit isn't quite as high quality but it is good quality, and most importantly though very easy to use.
Also it arrived early which I wasn't expecting!”
“Dear Swytch team firstly can I say thanks for helping me know I must have been a tricky customer not knowing what wheel size and everything but you'll be glad to know the wheel fits fine to the bamboo forks and my husband installed it easily. I'm riding around now like a devils angel it is brilliant. Also I know not everyone got their kit yet and I was one of the first so thanks for that. I'll call you if I need anything hope that's ok”
