“I wanted to keep my old Norco Monterey, the first bike I bought in Canada. Installing the kit on it was fairly easy. The key was making sure that the pedal sensor is within 3mm of the pedal magnetic disc. I can now ride to work without breaking out in sweat.
Although I did not get my kit at the promised delivery date, I can understand the supply chain factors that had disrupted economic activities around the world. Once I got my kit, customer service was great.”
“I was delighted with my Swytch kit which I received in Jan 2023. Packing and fitting instructions were excellent and I found it relatively easy to install having been used to bike maintenance for many years.
The immediate impact was amazing and makes all my local commuting so easy.
I use the bike for lots of short journeys, up to 15 kilometre round trip, where it’s not necessary to use my car.
The benefits from a health perspective are brilliant not to mention saving on motoring costs and helping to combat climate change!
I’ve been so pleased with my Swytch kit that I’ve now ordered one for my wife.
When you already have a good bicycle, Swytch provides a new lease of life for both rider and bike.
Hills are no longer daunting and you arrive at your destination unflustered and ready for your next adventure!”
“The max battery kit works well with my full suspension MTB , off road or a more leisurely on road ride. Nice and lightweight and doesn’t get disturbed or rattled by heavy landings (“casing” dislodged the peddle sensor a couple of times but nothing major that couldn’t be adjusted). Have to use the cable ties on the crank as not enough room due to the rear suspension link. The articulation of the joint for the crank fixing needs to be a bit more flexible as that took me the longest thing to set up to maintain a perfect 3mm gap all the way round. I did mange it and used that metal weld paste to hold it securely in place.”
“It works very well, especially now that I have the superior 'Mode' unit, which allows me to power down as well as up, and thus extends the range of the battery, as I pedal the flat on zero power. At age 75, I no longer feel exhausted by a typical 24 mile local ride, including a few uphill sections, which is brilliant.”
“The swych product has far outweighed my expectations. Can’t fault easy to install and attach to bike and much lighter than a full electric bike . Use it to help with the hills or go on a longer bike ride. So pleased with purchase would highly recommend . I was also impressed with the support”
“I upgraded my bike earlier in the year from Swytch Gen 2 to Gen 3. When I made my selection of accessories I opted for the LED controller. Having fitted it and also reading some posts from other owners I came to the conclusion that it did not 'fit the bill' because to reduce power output you had to scroll through the higher settings to get back to the base line. I concluded this could be somewhat risky as increasing the power when you wanted to decrease it could cause problems. I messaged Swytch who could not have been more helpful. They offered me a free upgrade to the OLED controller, which can be scrolled up and down plus gives much more information. All I had to do was return the LED controller when the OLED arrived and was set up. All achieved in a few days. Brilliant assistance and customer service.
