This is a really nicely engineered piece of kit. It was easy to fit, and I find cycling with it is much easier. The optional brake sensors that come with the kit aren't really necessary, given that the motor stops as soon as you start pedalling. I bought the 50 mile battery kit, but I don't see that the battery would ever give 50 miles unless the pedal assistance was at it's lowest all of the time. Generally, the battery indicator is down to about halfway after around 12 miles (and I rarely go above halfway up the Pedal Assistance levels). I haven't attempted to run it flat yet, though. Generally, a worthwhile buy, and recommended

This is a great conversion kit, simple to fit and a hoot to ride. My car hardly gets used any more! I fitted the kit to my commuter bike which makes carting laptop, clothes, lock and lunch to and from work so much easier! The other big plus is I can ride the 10 miles to the office (including 2 long hills) and not arrive in a sweaty mess in need of a shower. My only criticism is that, with the battery bag attached, there isn't anywhere to mount a front light. Swytch obviously thought of this and built one into the bag itself but if you need something more powerful then you're going to need to get a bit creative.
