“I now use my bike for journeys I would normally think "oh not today" and throughly enjoy the freedom and ease it provides. I can go into town and bring back quite heavy things that would otherwise have needed a car. It was fairly easy to fit to the bike (although I did get someone to do it for me!). I have the older version with a 2kg battery that is quite heavy and would love the smaller phone size battery that is now being sold. Other than the weight of carrying around my battery, as I wouldn't leave it on the bike when unattended, then it is perfect. Once you start pedalling it engages and you can use as little or as much battery power as you need.”
“In the photo is the new version of swytch bike fitted to my road bike, together with the older version fitted to my wife's Pashley. Fitting to the Pashley took some doing, mainly because of the nature of the Pashley. However, so worth doing to help with hills and the excessive weight of the Pashley. She was so pleased with it but now has battery envy. We wish we had ordered the extra set up when we had the chance! I had to give in and swytch my bike just to keep up with her. Its great and so unobtrusive. I keep it set on low power and then I have to do some work to get up hills and I feel it is still benefiting my fitness. How do we go about ordering a new battery set up for my wife’s bike?”

“I got a Swytch kit for my Brompton, and have been very pleased with it. Use it mainly for a 5 mile commute, including one large hill. The kit works extremely well - it is a 3 gear Brompton, and the hill would be a challenge with the Swytch. With it, I can do it easily.
One small drawback is that the plastic sensor fittings are quite thin and easily damaged, so that after a few years mine is kept in place with sellotape (!). But Swytch have kindly offered to replace it for free, so no problems there.”
“Having fitted the Swytch kit 3 months ago I can highly recommend it.
It has encouraged me to use my bike when I wouldn't have considered it previously.
The larger battery seems to to be ideal for my use.
The installation was easy having watched a couple of YouTube videos showing the process. The videos highlight some of the optional installation items that are in the manual, but as I usually find watching is easier than reading :)
Build quality of the components seems good and the connectors seal well against our lovely weather.
Overall, I am very pleased with my upgraded bike, I just need to order another one so my wife doesn't get left behind when out riding.”
“I have had my Swytch kit fitted for a few months now and although the weather has been terrible I have enjoyed riding my bike to various pubs near me.
I will order another kit for my wife's bike as she seems to disappear into distance behind me whenever we cycle together.”
“Be honest, Swytch is the best Ebike kit of the world!
It so easy to install! So comapct and so suitable my brompton!
It can ride more than 40Km by one ECO battery...So amazing!
I am so appericate this kit can give me excellence experience of riding on brompton!”
“This kit is awesome. Instructions were clear and easy to follow, I had it installed in 30 minutes. I got this kit for my special needs sons bike. He is not to good at using hand brakes so I needed to maintain a coaster brake capability for him. This kit provided that at price significantly less then regular e-bike. I had researched several other modification kits out there . Several at first were cheaper but not everything was included. The Swytch kit came complete. I would recommend either getting 2 batteries or the bigger one. Our Son is getting so much more use out his bike now.”
