Universal Swytch eBike Kit Reviews

4.8 Rating 348 Reviews
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...

I like the fact that I have been able to convert my 1987 Raleigh Pioneer Classic 10 to an electric bike using the Swytch kit. The quality of the fittings is good, and following the instructions simple. The only snag I hit was when changing the front tyre from my old front wheel to the new Swytch one there was a slight mismatch -- I bought a new tyre, and that solved the issue. For me this was definitely a value for money conversion. My bike is a good solid construction, and the combination with the Swytch equipment has added only a few kilos to the weight of it. Certainly it is less than the weight of electric bikes that friends have bought. The trial run went smoothly, and proved that the performance of my bike was boosted, which at my age is a significant factor. Now all I need is the weather to improve for my enjoyment to be fulfilled.

WE HAVE THREE BIKES NOW FITTED WITH SWYTCH KIT, THE FIRST WAS IN 2021 AND IS STILL GOING STRONG. COMPARED TO A READY MADE BIKE IT IS GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY AS WE CAN USE THE BIKES THAT WE ALREADY HAVE. THERE ARE LOTS OF KITS OUT THERE BUT THE FITTING INSTRUCTIONS AND PROVEN QUALITY OF THIS PRODUCT MAKE SWYTCH THE BEST CHOICE IN OUR VIEW. A BONUS IS THE OVERALL WEIGHT OF THE CONVERTED BIKE AS THIS IS MUCH LOWER THAN THE READY MADE OFFERINGS.

I have had a Swytch for several months and I love it! The Instruction Manual was full and very helpful and made construction fairly easy. The components are well made and worked first time. As the motor is incorporated in the front wheel which can be removed, it minimises the weight to take in and out of the car if required. A big advantage of Swytch over other electric bikes is that you are riding your own bike which you know will be comfortable. No need to buy an expensive electric bike and then discover it's not as comfortable as you originally thought. This also means the price can be kept reasonable and much less than a good quality new electric bike. All in all a good decision.

I took delivery of my Swytch order in November 2021 and fitted the Swytch kit to my 30 year old Hard Rock bike. I found fitting the kit to the Hard Rock bike to be straight forward. On riding the bike I had a problem with the drive from the Swytch drive cutting out when climbing hills. To Swytch's credit they diagnosed the problem in the battery and were helpful in sending a number of spare parts to solve the problem. I have now fitted the Swytch kit on my old bike to a new bike. Before I bought the new bike I looked into purchasing an ebike at around £2,500 but decided that the Swytch kit I had was OK for my social riding and transferred it to my new bike. The riding experience of Swytch on the new bike has been good and has the advantage of the bike being lighter than a designed ebike. To summarize I have been satisfied with my Swytch purchase and provides good value if you fit to a bike that you already have and like.
