I was willing to buy an eBike, while at the same time I didn't want to stop using my beloved Specialized Sirrus, when I ran into the Swytch commercial video with Dmitro and Oliver. I loved the idea and the overall aesthetics. At first a bit skeptical because of all rubbish sold online, including some crap conversion kits, I started looking at DIY videos and going through reviews of the Swytch kit and decided to immediately apply to preorder one! It took a while, but the wait was definitely worth it! I chose the black wheel option to better fit my bike, and the standard kit without any other add-ons (I just wanted something to help me if tired or in case of really steep climbs, as I don't use my bike for commuting, but only for rides with my friends). Well, after some days I can say I'm more than happy! The ignition of the kit is very gradual, does not immediately affect the pedaling and makes everything natural and fluid. The weight of the battery on the handlebar is imperceptible, it seems to me that I have not made any changes! A huge plus is the fact that, in the case of normal use of the bike without the Swytch kit, without the battery the overall weight of the bike remains practically the same as before - which is also great for being able to load it in the car or store it on a bike rack. Perhaps the only negative aspect is that disassembling the front wheel becomes more complicated than before due to the bolts and for fear of damaging the connectors (which in my case I also protected with heat shrink sleeves), in fact disassembling the rear wheel is a bit more annoying. The hook on the handlebar is very small and allowed me not to move any of the accessories (bell and computer), it seems designed for my bike! The LED integrated in the battery is excellent in an emergency, plus it consumes very little, and the Swytch logo is really nice! The kit is tiny and fits easily into any backpack: moreover, in less than 3 hours it recharges completely. Last but not least, the customer support is exceptional. I had the pleasure of writing to Simon, always available to clarify any doubts, precise and perfect. I am very happy with my purchase!
