“I just love my Swytch bike! I bought it because I have heart and lung problems and haven't been able to ride a bike for years. The install was a wee bit challenging because of the pedal assist disc, but I was able to figure it out on the second try. For my pedal type, I was supposed to attach the arm to the pedal stem; however I removed the teeth on the extra disk and that worked perfectly without the arm. I installed the kit on a 24 inch adult trike and couldn't be happier. If you are in the USA, expect delays on delivery, but it will be well worth the wait. I highly recommend this for anyone who needs a wee bit of help.”
“My Swytch kit came about 4 months after I ordered it which was when I expected it. I was very excited to put it on my bike and begin riding it. Had a little trouble with the set up but customer support was excellent in helping me get it set up on my 20 year old Specialized Allez road bike which I have not ridden for a while. The first ride went on I fell in love with the Swytch. I ride about 20-25 miles 4-5 days a week and have not had any problem with the battery or the motor. I have always returned from my ride with 2 bars left so the range has never been a problem. I probably have it on assist level 2 most of the time and but when I get to a hill and switch it to level 5 you can definitely feel the motor help you as you get up the hill. The bike weighs about 18 lbs without the kit and 24 with the kit and you cant find anything close to what the Swytch can give you at the price and performance. This has changed the way I ride my bike again and can think of riding without it. You want to ride without motor, you hardly notice any change in the bike. Love my Swytch”
“I've been using my Swytch Eco equipped bike for about 6 months now. It can handle my 18km - fairly hilly - daily ride twice before needing a recharge. Now the ride takes me only 45 minutes, rather than an hour, and really takes the edge off the steeper climbs. And I find I do the ride more often than before I got the Swytch kit, because it's more fun and less slog.
The kit was pretty easy to fit. The only problem I had was that I found I had no space on my handlebars to fit the thumb throttle I had ordered. Swytch's customer support refunded the cost with no problems when I sent it back.”
“Amazing piece of kit, wish I'd bought one years ago. A friend with cycling knowledge had to fit it for me and Swytch provide plenty of instructions and videos to help. Even though it took a few weeks to arrive, it was worth the wait. If you can't justify the cost of an ebike and you want to keep your own bike, I would well recommend Swytch. Cycling us much more enjoyable as I get older and I've tackled a few small hills easily!!”
“Swytch Bike where have you been all my life! I had to stop cycle because of a bum knee and now I am back enjoying the trails on my own bicycle. I could not have asked for more and I am really glad that I took a chance on this startup company. Customer service has been beyond responsive whether I asked a question or needed a replacement part. LOVE MY SWYTCH BIKE!”
“I got excited about the product specially because it does not require to buy a new bike. I didn't exactly know much about bikes, but with a little patience and help of YouTube, I finished installing it in about 2-3 hours. First time, I used it to go around the neighborhood. Since then, I used it to do some grocery shopping and go to meetings in longer distances. The furthest distance I ever went with a fully charged battery on full power with no throttle was 14 miles and I didn't run out. I am not very much in shape so I need assistance going uphill. With swytch bike, I can now make more meetings on bike and burn less fossil fuels. Also, it helps me to do more exercise by bike. It is a sweet upgrade to my life style.”
“I've had the kit for about a year now, and very happy with it. Took me about 2 hours to install, and all has worked smoothly ever since. I looked at full ebikes originally but decided that for the same price as the most basic ebike I could get a really decent hybrid bike and the swytch kit, and would end up with a much nicer, lighter bike that has the added benefit of being able to be used as a standard bike if required, whereas with an ebike you're stuck with it. My original intention was to use it commute to work, but due to covid I am now working permanently from work so that plan has gone out of the window, however I have no regrets as it's such a lot of fun to ride the swytch. The pack itself really works well - better than I imagined it would, up steep hills you still have to put a bit of effort in (particularly as I'm not the lightest rider!) but whereas previously I would be struggling to make it up some hills at all, I can now get up them while still pedalling seated. Given the choice I would still buy the kit now.”
