“I began to get worried when promised delivery dates came and went but once the kit arrived it fitted easily and I am delighted with it's performance. Full disclosure: I'm a life long cyclist living in Spain who's nearer 80 than 70 and have been using the kit outside of it's intended use. As It's been a few years since I've wanted to climb some of the mountain passes here I use the assist to help on the very steep parts and ride the rest myself. Turning around at the summit I can descend easily even with a spent battery. With a little forethought 40Km rides in the high mountains are now possible again. If there was an easy way to carry a second battery or Swytch offered a way to extend the range I would be placing an order. Downsides: My initial build had the battery as high as possible but I found that it adversely affected the handling, particularly in high winds, a ten minute fix. Very slow and tight turns need my full attention as the motor can "assist" with just a little pedal pressure causing a wider turning circle than expected. I've swapped bikes with a few riding buddies and they've all been "converted".”

“A quick and easy way to convert you old bike to an electric assisted bike. Everything you need is there in the box. It took less than an hour to fit the kit. In fact it took longer to charge the battery, so I’d start that off charging while to fit your kit.”

“Absolutely love it and has made such a difference to my range and type of journeys. Could do with additional range but will acquire the bigger battery to allow this.”

“Very easy to fit works really well on the steam roller which is a track bike frame. It has really good momentum. I am a big guy and getting around 12 miles from the bigger battery. Instead of a single speed I have fitted it with a three speed sturmey archer hub on a 700 c wheel. I am 61 and have had tachycardic arrhythmia so have to be careful pushing my heart rate up to maximum. The switch kit has really helped me. Great for work I am a community worker who travels all over the city daily.”

“I wish Swytch made a PAS sensor that works on the right (non-drive) side for a tandem. I had to mount it on the left (drive)side with the chainring and it's messy and doesn't work well at all. Tech support told me they don't make a right-side sensor so make sure you know that before ordering for a tandem. When it works, though, it's great.”

“Love having the power on my road bike as well as my Brompton which was converted using the older battery with controls within it. The downside to the new battery is the control is on a separate gadget which only allows power increase and not decrease so is much more time consuming to go down or turn off, which you do not have time for when riding. More description of the control unit would have been useful when buying. I would have paid extra for a more sensible unit!”

“Ordered the new clip-on battery kit in April 2022 for Brompton M6L. Supply chain issues meant that the kit didn't arrive until January 2023, although Swytch were pretty good about keeping me updated. Installation trickier than the manual would have you believe (thank you local bike shop :)). Performance since then has been excellent overall, and I can't imagine going back to non-powered riding. Pros: - Reliable (so far!) - Varied power levels (generally use lowest but good to have higher for hills) - AIR battery pack light and portable Cons: - Range not quite as high as advertised. AIR pack claims 15km, though in my experience it's nearer to 10km - Magnetic pick-up can get knocked out of whack, though it's easy enough to reset Generally very happy, though.”
