The swytch kit gave me the confidence and comfort to ride my bike more often and for more applications. I began cycling to work, which previously would have left me sweaty and too fatigued to work at my best. With the assistance from the motor I also had more confidence on the road. I wasn’t keen on getting purpose built ebike, they’re heavy, some have proprietary components, and I like to do my own maintenance and lifting those things can make minor maintenance a pain. By keeping my bike I have been able to keep maintenance simple. I was pleasantly surprised to find recently that new components have become available to existing users, I was able to move my battery from the handlebars to my bike rack due to the power extension cable, which has improved handling greatly. I wish extra batteries were more attainable, I’d love them for longer rides. I have had to replace both my pedal sensor due to failure and magnet disc due to breakage, but the parts were available and easy to order and the cost has been so much less than getting a new bike. Fun to ride, glad to keep my own bike, and cost effective, would recommend.
