“Although it took a few months to receive, I was pleased to find everything as ordered and very satisfactory. The front wheel and motor assembly is amazing to look at! I opted to buy a new tire and tube for the front wheel as it does not come with one already installed. Instructions showed removing your existing tire and tube and installing them both on the new wheel assembly. I'm sure that would have worked just fine. For me, being new to this installation process, it took a couple of hours figure out and install. The instructions seemed straightforward. I think it might be helpful to reference and even show the 6 photos and one small video required for the registration/warranty process as part of the installation process.
Regarding the operation of the Swytch, it is fun and amazing! You peddle and go! And go fast! You can just barely hear the hum of the electric motor. Tight turns can be a little tricky, but I'm figuring those out. I'm still learning about the different power level settings on the battery pack, still trying to find my favorite. And I can hardly wait to see how it performs on hills.”
“The Universal Pro version of the kit was straight forward to fit with excellent instructions provided. The operation of the kit is brilliant, seamlessly boosting acceleration when starting, dropping off above 15.5MPH and then surging back in again when my speed drops on an incline. I have found the quoted range of 30 miles to be conservative and regularly complete 40 mile trips with 20% battery remaining.”
“2,000km and no issues. The way the pedal assist works means you feel like you are still cycling if you use your gears properly. After doing a round trip of 36km I normally have 2 bars left on the battery indicator. After a ride of 48km I was showing 1 bar. [power level at 1]”
“I found the kit very easy to fit, I took my time and followed the instruction leaflet and found the second bike so much quicker to complete in less than an hour. To fulfil the guarantee took a while with photo’s at each stage but necessary clearly. The video of the motor in action needed a second person to complete easily. All charged up, first ride out was perfect. Been used quite a few times now and just love it. I can scale a nearby hill which is at the start of any of my rides with such ease. Love this, my wife is certainly needing it, and is very impressed.”
“Already had an ebike (rear wheel drive/throttle) but underpowered for pulling trailer with 75lbs. of groceries. Bought the Swytch kit with pedal assist and now have an all-wheel drive bike that goes up 20 degree hills without speed loss. No gain in speed but powe is amazing. My original ebike is a Yukon Expedition 26 and I'm a 78 years old man without a car. Thanks Swytc for keeping me mobile.”
“Swytch has been great to deal with. I received the Swytch kit from my Mom after she upgraded her system. I helped install this kit originally on her Kestrel with much help from Swytch technicians. This lasted several years flawlessly. Now it's my turn using this on a vintage tandem to give my wife and I a little assist in some more difficult terrain. We love riding our tandem while out camping. Can't wait to put it in service. Thanks Swytch!”
