Universal Swytch eBike Kit Reviews

4.8 Rating 348 Reviews
We took delivery of our Swytchbike conversion kit in July 2024 . It was well packaged and the instructions very clear and easy to follow. I installed it straight away but have waited until now to allow time for a full trial of the kit . It is EXCELLENT!!! We just needed a kit that gave a little boost to give confidence in cycling again. and did not see a need to replace a good pre exiting bike with a full electric heavy weight.. the weight addition from the kit is around ~3Kg so not much... and the range of the Go+ is more than enough for a days cycling. I would recommend the optional OLED display to make more boost level options available. I highly recommend this kit and the customer service from Swytchbike

Love my Swytch bike! It's smooth, extremely quiet, and cruises at 20mph all day long. Around 30 miles of range with the Go-plus power pack and medium pedal assist. Power delivery is smooth, like a burst of tailwind—all the time! More than enough power to compensate for loaded panniers and a fully clothed 200-pound person. Best thing: I still get to ride my favorite old bike.

Very pleased with the kit so far. It was easy to fit. Only slight problems with rearranging other attachments on the bike - lock, lights - to make room for the battery and display. I am holding off giving 5 stars as i have only done short journey's so far. My previous battery didn't last very long. So I awaiting to assess it's long term performance before it gets 5 stars!

I love my Swytch conversions I've done two Bromptons. The first has been going strong son early 2020. I've gone over 3000miles on the second Brompton this year. The power is smooth and enough to get up the steepest hills. I ride everywhere in our city daily errands and for pleasure. I also tour, this year the Empire State railtrail in upstate New York. It's reliable. I take planes, trains, buses. The Air battery (90 watt hours) can fly on planes, a big bonus for travelers! 4 friends have them, on my recommendation.

Easy to install (I do maintain my own bikes) onto my Brompton which still folds up perfectly. Absolutely transformed my journey home up a 40m climb. Battery regen charging a fantastic addition.

Ease of use - simple and it works! I have however not really understood how I order spare parts.

The kit works very well. It helps you enjoy your ride, and “enters” softly, you don’t even notice the electric help. It’s not a 5 star rating ( for me a 4.5) for 2 reasons: the autonomy is not as much as stated, and the waiting times have to be really improved. I have been trying to contact the web to get either another kit or an extra battery, but has been imposible. Just getting into a never-ending waiting list. To sum up: it really gets its work done, really worth its price, converting your bike into an E-bike; but if you want to buy, you should take advantage of the season offers they release, when they have stock…

Hi from Ontario, Canada! I am leaving this review hoping it may help any trikers. I bought Schwinn Meridian Adult Tricycle Bike and Swytch for my son but he did not like it. So, it ended up to be my commuter trike. Installation was easy and straight forward. My commute is around 5km one way. Since my trike is much heavier than a normal bike the battery needs charging in my office for return trip. Other than that I do not see any issue. You may go with a bigger battery if you are planning longer ride. I am uploading some of closeups to show you the installation. I hope it helps.
