Universal Swytch eBike Kit Reviews

4.8 Rating 348 Reviews
It works very well, especially now that I have the superior 'Mode' unit, which allows me to power down as well as up, and thus extends the range of the battery, as I pedal the flat on zero power. At age 75, I no longer feel exhausted by a typical 24 mile local ride, including a few uphill sections, which is brilliant.

The swych product has far outweighed my expectations. Can’t fault easy to install and attach to bike and much lighter than a full electric bike . Use it to help with the hills or go on a longer bike ride. So pleased with purchase would highly recommend . I was also impressed with the support

I upgraded my bike earlier in the year from Swytch Gen 2 to Gen 3. When I made my selection of accessories I opted for the LED controller. Having fitted it and also reading some posts from other owners I came to the conclusion that it did not 'fit the bill' because to reduce power output you had to scroll through the higher settings to get back to the base line. I concluded this could be somewhat risky as increasing the power when you wanted to decrease it could cause problems. I messaged Swytch who could not have been more helpful. They offered me a free upgrade to the OLED controller, which can be scrolled up and down plus gives much more information. All I had to do was return the LED controller when the OLED arrived and was set up. All achieved in a few days. Brilliant assistance and customer service. (photo shows the conversion but the original LED controller)

I have a single speed franken-bike and wanted some assistance in commuting up hills at the end of the day. Swytch has literally changed my life and made me a full time bicycle commuter! I still feel like I'm getting the exercise of biking and I have great control over my speed, but I get a little extra help with each pedal. Installation was easy if you're a little handy, but you could also have your local bike shop put it together. It does add a little bit of weight, but I don't even notice it. I pre ordered for delivery to a major city on the East Coast of the USA and was impressed by Swytch's communication about the manufacturing and delivery process over the months. I love riding my bike so much more now!

The kit fitted very well and worked first time. There needed to be a slight modification to the pedal sensor to make it fit the shape of the downtube and not hit the cadence ring, but otherwise was easy. It's transformational around the hills of Sheffield and basically brought my old bike back into regular use.

Wrong wheel size was sent . Was a bit frustrating as I had to build a new wheel due to the region I live. however once I made the adjustment , the kit has worked flawlessly. My ride experience has been wonderful. Totally satisfied with the product from a riding aspect .

I converted my second bike with the Swytch kit. It is great to commute to my work. It was relatively easy to convert my bike into an e-bike with the Swytch Kit. I put the battery back on the seat; the battery in the handle was not so comfortable to ride. I had to wait a little longer to get my kit; this was my only complaint after that; customer service was good. The manuals and videos online are very useful. I am happy because with the Swytch Kit and kept my old bike, that I love it.
