“Swytch eBike Kit up and running after excellent live video support. It's early days and lowish miles but so far the motor responds well, gives a great acceleration kick and makes hill climbs less arduous.”
“I love the kit - I bought it for leisure and for fun without seriously regarding it as converting my hybrid bicycle into a vehicle replacement. However with parking problems etc for running errands, and making short journeys! I've changed the way I see it and use it. But it's still fun!”
“I think the universal Swytch ebike Kit is so well thought out and the quality of the components is superb whoever thought this through deserves an award because it’s brought the cost of riding an electric bike way down to an much more affordable price and it’s straight forward to do with loads of help from Swytch.”
“this has been a convenient way to turn an obsolete cruiser into a fun electric bike. the front battery is a bit heavy on top of the old steel frame but its a fine enough trade off.”
“The Swytch kit has made a big difference to my school run and commuting duties. It involves walking nearly a mile with our 6 year old child whilst pulling our 2 year old child in a trailer. The push assist mode works very well, although maybe a hand grip switch would be better than pressing the button, not that pressing the button is difficult. After dropping off the 6 yr old I then have to cycle up a hill on the way to the nursery with the 2 he old. Power level 5 or 6 with the system detuned to only output 250 watts works really well. After another nearly two miles and dropping off at nursery I then set off for work, which involves a steep hill I used to avoid. By using the system I have shaved 10 minutes off my commute.....and with not pulling the trailer up hills I've put off requiring replacement knees!! My partner does the pick-ups at the end of the day and has different hills to negotiate so I'm looking forward to receiving a second kit that I've just ordered. Although she's a bit younger than me, preservation of her knees is starting to become an issue!”
“good except for the delivery time.
following the instruction, kit installation is easy in a old bike too.
a suggestion for the battery charger: a simple electronic card for ampere absorption measurement and regulation will be wery usefull for overnight charging.”
“My two kits (mine and my wife’s) have had no issues. My wife’s uses then PAS disc. Mine uses just the twist throttle I ordered. Although my wife’s has but 15 miles logged, my kit will reach 1100 miles tomorrow. My motor has survived a collision with a vehicle at 500 miles (rebuilt with new rim).”
