“I have the first generation, been using my Swytch Bike for 3 years very happy with it. Easy to put on my bycicle Rack on my car, and so nice when you have to face wind”
“With my electric bike kit, I was not expecting it to be this powerful for a 250w motor and such a small battery - what a joy to ride! It's so powerful for the specs, and so far I think it can go further than advertised on a charge. I live in a mountainous/hilly area, and the motor can assist me up to 32kph/20mph still! This ebike is so powerful for the price. I really appreciate the build quality - mostly metal parts, great connectors, and strong metal screws. While I have only used mid-drive ebikes before, these kits seem on-par or better in terms of power and build quality. In addition, I later ordered the throttle and brake sensor; great upgrades for starting off and safer braking (the motor take about one second to fully stop assisting on levels 4/5 and 5/5). I've even already recommended it to a few friends, and they seem like they're also going to order it! I'm currently planning for this to be my "nice weather" ride to and from work, school, home, etc. as the Air battery has plenty of range (advertised ~9 miles on level 2, but proving to be even better).”
“Us a user of swytch kit I was looking forward to get the upgraded version. I had to wait for it, but I don’t regret the wait. I am very happy with it. It works very well. Easy to install. Battery is much smaller, lighter and easier to carry around. Work as expected. I am very happy with performance that I bought one kit for my sister.
Support staff was very helpful getting a new base monitor sent to me. They helped me to solve the problem very quickly. I would recommend.”

“installed the kit on my Fuji absolute 1.1. Pedal assist kit only (did not order the throttle) … and also the basic LED display. The battery and battery mount is an awesome concept and makes it so easy to put in and take the battery out for charging. The battery is also easy to carry considering it just looks like an oversize power bank. The build quality is topnotch. Only “glitch” in the install was the axle size which was a tad too big for my fork’s dropout - but a little time spent filing did the trick and the wheel/hub motor got installed fine. Took the bike for a road test and it was a fun ride. I live in a relatively hilly little city north of Dallas and sure made going up those hills a breeze. Good value for the money and can see myself travelling with this bike - well, ebike now.”
“I’m nearly 75 years old, but wanted to get myself in better shape with some convenient exercise. I bought the kit to convert an old, but well kept DAHON folding bike to be a really useful transport and exercise unit.
After a rather long, and annoying delay, it arrived and was easily installed. I had the installation verified by the DAHON agent here, and he said it looked great.
I cycle now more or less every day, and of course can park anywhere, which is certainly not the case with my car. I have great range, and using it at P1 can get where I want AND get some exercise in the process.”
“The Swytch conversion kit is an easy to fit system even for those of limited mechanical ability.
It is compact and fits without interference to other cycle options (unless you have a front basket or similar which would have to be removed).
The pedal sensor is a good fit and does not appear to interfere with the pedalling action or get caught by your foot or trousers. I have the mid range controller which only allows you to go up through the power modes of which there is 0 (off) to 5 settings and not back down - go up to 5 and the next selection is 0. In hindsight I should have had a controller that goes up and down the power settings. But it is easy once you are used to it so not a insurmountable problem.
In my kit, a couple of unused wires from the battery support could have been tidier and capped.
Compared to buying a full electronic bike it is much cheaper option. I am very happy with the purchase and usefulness.”
“I installed my swytch kit on my 17 year old Bromton. It's absolutely great. Where I live in Spain has a lot of hills so it is a great assist for me. It's a quality package and certainly a lot cheaper than buying an electric Bromton so I am very happy with this alternative. I love my bike even more now...”
