What do you think of the Swytch kit? Is it a way to save some old bikes from the junkyard? Shop.EbikeEscape.com If you are looking for some high quality ebike accessories, check out our store.

I have 2 of the older Swytchbike kits. After 3 years, both batteries have stopped working. Just purchased 2 Aventons. Much, much better. Aventons came fast and each with 2 high capacity batteries. Well made bikes.

I have 2 Swytch kits, and I’m waiting to receive the 3rd. It’s worth the money, but be prepared for long delays and potential installation issues. My 2022 Max kit took 9 months, and I had to file down the front axle to get it to fit in the dropouts, more of a nuisance, not difficult to do. My 2023 Max kit took 3.5 months, and again I had to file the front axle down to size. My 2024 Go++ has taken 2 months so far and is estimated to arrive next month, a 2-month delay, and I expect pedal-sensor arm installation issues because my bike does not have square-taper cranks (i.e., the crank arm fits flush against the bottom bracket). Others have been much luckier, and Swytch customer service typically responds in 24 hours and have been helpful. Despite all this, I would do it again!

I have the max and go++ kits and I like them very much but everything said in the comments about delivery times and customer service is true. They need to get it together in that regard.

Which kit? Was that the estimate originally given? I appreciate you sharing your experience.

@kathygradl2336 20 дней назад

I am going to be ordering from Swytch since I'm converting my 1976 Raliegh Sprite which my dad bought me brand new. Out of 10 companies I contacted they were the only ones who could handle the old British wheel sizing. Due to age and disability weight gain the hills have made riding my smooth as a Cadillac a no-go, power assist is now needed. So before you Dismiss the product, remember it just might be right for someone else. I only hope it lives up to the marketing, and battery life.

@annariver2729 20 дней назад

Let me know how it works out

@kathygradl2336 17 дней назад

@EbikeEscape1 I did notice in your installation one error. Don't toss your old rim, if you need to send back the hub for warranty reasons you're going to want to put the old rim back on while waiting, unless you have lots of room in the garage.

Thank you

@EbikeEscape Месяц назад

You're welcome

@briant4072 14 дней назад

When using the throttle, is the power level adjusted/modulated depending on how much you apply the throttle, or is it simply an on/off control?

@coreywhite4808 Месяц назад

Thanks for doing this! Can you do the Clip next?

@EbikeEscape Месяц назад

Possibly. We tend to avoid these kit reviews but I'm open to it

@MikakaHiatt Месяц назад

You said at the end that some other kits may offer more power I have an urban express road bike do you reccomend a kit from amazon?

@EbikeEscape 26 дней назад

Not an expert here but you might check out Eunorau - I believe they have a partnership with Bafang.

@Hamdalorian Месяц назад

8s it me or was the cadence sensor a little loose?

@EbikeEscape Месяц назад

So it was definitely loose without the retention pin. When I put that in it was much better. I wish there was a better solution for the pedal assist but it does work. Of course taking into consideration they have to make it compatible with different bikes that were never intended to be electric.

@edwardsjohnpaul Месяц назад

Why did you rate the installation at 5/10? Seemed pretty easy and straightforward, how does 5/10 reflect that?

@EbikeEscape 26 дней назад

Not too easy that anyone can do it, not too difficult that it takes someone who has done it before. Right in the middle

@vigilant_1934 14 дней назад

He had a bunch of issues installing certain things and there was a lot of forwarding through it and edits so we didn't see everything. Did you ignore that?

@HOWBAZARY Месяц назад

It's not worth it at all. Overpriced, bad customer service, breaks easily. Just buy a Lectric or an Aventon.

@DRACONIC1634 7 дней назад

@jaysoncolbert6187 Месяц назад

Bros just diy. It will cost the same but u get better motor. And u don't have to wait until the coming of Christ for them to just send you the kit with a missing piece you'll wait another month to remedy

@EbikeEscape 26 дней назад

I think full DIY takes a bit extra attention. This kit fits a middle ground - at least in my opinion

What about getting someone that is obese to begin riding a bike?

@corymollak2093 21 день назад

@@EbikeEscape maybe not a bike with the switch kit right from the start, so he or she isnt tempted. Or maybe if that person signs up for a spin class and completes it. I could see graduating to one once some pounds are pedaled off.

@DrTofutybeast 5 часов назад

This has to be the lamest review you've ever done. No it's not a hopeless waste of time BUT you can get a real ebike for very little more. And then you don't have to put up with a scam company with poor quality and service.
