“Swytch is a very good worth while ebike conversion kit. I've been cycling one form or another for 45+ years and have sustained too many injuries so needed some assistance to get back on the bike and go for longer rides. Swytch was the perfect kit to retrofit onto my old school Trek mountain bike and it helped to compensate for my injuries. I really enjoy the kit and it was very straight forward to install. Yes, it took longer than expected for delivery but given the current situation in the world, I don't see how there would not be a delay. I'm sure Swytch will figure it out and improve their logistics. I like the kit so much, I just ordered a second kit for my folding bike too.”
“I ordered my Swytch kit to convert my Carrera 3 hybrid bike and was very impressed with the results.
The kit was easy to fit and took me about an hour (not a cycle maintenance guy) to fit in total and then I was off.
The motor is a 250w and i got the eco pack battery which is plenty to help me along the way on long rides. The motor is responsive and pulls well at all assist levels.
From 1 level of assist on the eco pack I can get 35km of distance with a mix of hills and flats.
There will be a lot of comments around delivery times from my own personal experience I ordered mine in April and received it at the end of July so over their estimates but considering what was going on in these times it wasn't and issue for me. I was kept well informed with their weekly/bi weekly updates and have had quick responses from any queries i sent to the customer service teams.
Overall a great quality product and if you can deal with the wait times due to the business model then a great purchase.”
“Other than having to file a portion of my fork that holds axle, it was a really fun build.
Used it on my flat black posiedon x gravel bike and ordering the black rim was a great choice.
I may end up placing the kit onto a single speed frame and pair it with my shimano nexus hub hoping the reduction of other gears will help with the overall weight and also make it look so much cleaner.”
“Great kit, it was worth the wait. Installation is easy if you have some basic bike maintenance skills. If you have an 'extra' bike this is an easy way to go electric.”
“Bought two Swytch Bike Pro kits to convert our older mountain bikes. After the wait for delivery, fitting was straightforward although a little filing was required to fit the axle snuggly in to the front forks. The quality of the product is very good - come rain or shine, on or off-road the kit has performed admirably. We have managed up to about a 30 mile range using minimum pedal assist mode except for climbing the hills where we crank the power up to give us oldies a bit of a shove. Above all it makes cycling more fun!”
“Back to work on bike after Tuesday snow storm and yesterday for clean-up. 7,340 mostly issue free miles on my Gen 1 Swytch pack. Last Winter I had no issues with the kit. I am now in Winter mode again looking forward to many cold miles to come. Since I have had my Swytch I have enjoyed my Winter commute even more assured that the cold wind will not impede or delay my ride... as long as I have a clear shoulder! I now have a new Gen 2 Swytch Pro pack to use as a back-up, longer trip extender. It is a great size to carry along in my pannier. From past experience (at 4500 miles) I am encouraged to know that I have support from Swytch if anything goes wrong. Thank you Swytch!
PICS... live shot showing me passing 3500 miles back in January, Shot of summer rig along Mohawk River in Albany NY in June , and two shots today at work of winter rig and current mileage.”
“i recieved a product that was beyond my expectations and immediately went for a ride. How fun my previously boring bicycle became! Thank you Swytch team!”
