“After looking at various e-bike conversion kits on the market I eventually settled on Swytch for a couple of reasons. Firstly I wanted simplicity of design and secondly I wanted it to fit in with the look of my modified 30 yr old Halfords mountain bike. The kit ticked both boxes in my opinion. Quality of components is superb and it’s something that I appreciate in a product being an engineer. My first ride was around my local park so not fast but I wanted to test the different levels of assist. Surprisingly I found level 1 to be perfect for my single speed bike on the flat and for just tootling around. A 10 mile ride the other day still left 4 bars of battery. Admittedly it was mostly on the flat but if you’re creative with your ride (which is part of the fun for me) there shouldn’t be a problem with your average journey. The motor is practically silent and responsive and for me it’s the perfect marriage of simplicity and fun.
Happy to be part of the Swytch Owner’s Club and it’s a nice feeling knowing you’ve built yourself an e-bike!

“I purchased the Swytch Eco kit for my Xootr Swift bike in May, 2020. After all my research, I was prepared for a long wait. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the kit in mid-November just 6 months after ordering.
The install was as described on their website and went very smoothly.
My experience with Swytch has been exceptionally good. Their customer service has been responsive and my problems resolved promptly. I would recommend the kit to anyone that wanted to make their bike electric.”
“I really appreciate my Swytch kit. It was so easy to setup and it has been a joy to ride again. In the area I live now it has many hills. So with the Swytch system I am able to ride up them with a lot less effort. I do not have to be a professional cyclist. The design and construction of the components are of very good quality. I recommend for anyone that wants to keep their favorite bike. I have a great bike so now it just makes it even better. For anyone considering to purchase a kit please understand you will not regret it. Thank you Swytch for a great product.”
“I was one of the first bakers (October 2019), as I knew it was THE kit for my bike. Delivery took some extra time in this uncertaing COVID period, however I got hands up from the Switch team quite often, I never felt alone abandoned.
I really like the high torque and the compact size of the kit and I wanted to keep the installation as minimal as possible. Thus I also only installed the throttle controller (no PAS) so in the end I have a very efficent micro motor bike!”
“Purchased the original Swytch kit which worked perfectly on my 30 year old bike. Upgraded to the smaller battery and find it works with the old setup, so now the two batteries can make for a longer range when carried together.”
“Very easy to adapt this kit to your bike with just a few simple tools. Just watch the video before you embark on it and it should go fairly smooth. Bring a flat file along to file down the axle on the wheel (not the drop outs) to help fitting the wheel. This should be your first step to avoid frustration later. This is my second kit and after a few bike swaps I can do a complete install in about 20 mins .”
“Brilliant! Fitted it to my old Mercian classic steel bike. We live in Lot-et-Garonne, SW France. Quite hilly. I just use the lowest setting on the larger climbs and easily manage a 70 km trip with 1000m of ascent on one charge. Just the job for a 70 year old on Beta blockers. ☺️
