“Hi Lenny,
The email came up with the same format as an answer to a request for support, with a list of links and solutions to problems.
No problem...here is our review for the Swytch super backer status!
Swytch 700c 50 mile kit
We have had our Marin San Rafael hybrid bikes for about six years at our house in France. However, due to the pretty difficult hills around there, we had hardly used them. The conversion kit appeared to provide a really good solution, to using existing good bikes, with little wear and tear, without going down the ‘another new bike’ scenario!
We had read a few reviews and seen some information on the net regarding the kits...but in the end we took a chance when we bought the two conversion kits. However, we have not been disappointed in any way at all!
Great things
1. The kits arrived post free to our house in France.
2. Customer service re. a change of delivery address was good.
3. We took our time fitting the kits, and in all it took about 1.5 hours for both bikes. I had seen some reviews that suggested using sugru as an adhesive for the sensor, and had bought some in anticipation. That was a good thing, as it was needed for our conversion. The adhesive has been excellent. Adapting the sensor was easy. The whole conversion was without problems.
4. The power is easily adjusted, and in conjunction with gear changes, optimises the power available.
5. When we did have a minor problem, we had good support, and the issue was resolved very quickly.
6. We have cycled quite a bit since converting our bikes, and the power is delivered efficiently when you need it. This has included category 4 climbs.
7. The bikes don’t look like they are running on electric power!
8. The overall weight of the bike is considerably less than a pure electric bike.
9. Easy to fit.
10. Magic carpet experience.
We would recommend it to anyone who wants Ann exsisting bike electrified”
“Having nothing but praise for my Swytch. Great design, easy to fit and good power delivery when I need a little help. A great improvement over other kits I have had in the past, the simplicity of the handlebar battery pack is a joy.
As someone who has had two surgeries on a troublesome knee and lives in the South Downs National Park in the UK (gradients are a constant), my new Swytch has finally enabled me to conquer everything thrown at me again.”
“As a part time Deliveroo rider, I've put this thing through the mill and it has never let me down.
It's helped my girlfriend enjoy cycling more and given her more confidence on the road.”
“Wow, this kit has everything you need to convert a regular pedal bike, in my case a 26" wheel mountain bike, into smooth, powerful workout/commuting machine! It's very well thought out and was very easy to assemble, assuming you have experience taking wheels off, adjusting brakes, etc. What I really appreciate is I can remove the battery and swap the front wheel out in less than 5 mins and have my lightweight mountain bike back whenever I chose to. The workout potential of this bike is huge, with my kit installed I can power this bike on road at speeds of 25 mph and cover vast distances simultaneously, it's very inspiring. I can't wait to try out the new lighter battery, the original one is a little heavy, but still a great performer. -thanks, SwytchBike, Mark Gilbert, FL, USA.”
“The Swytch Bike Kit is Fantastic, Hooked it up in no time.
I was riding the same day. The power is Awesome. and the ease of operating is Amazing.
Thanks Swytch
Annette”
