I did enjoy my Swytch Bike because I was able to keep my everyday bike with a little extra kick. But my experience wasn’t great whist I partly stopped cycling shortly after buying, some of that was down to the hassle of the kit and because I changed job. It took me hours to install as quite fiddly and certain parts have to be highly aligned, which became harder as my bike (Specalized) had a thick drop tube that impacted the positioning of the pedal sensor (there may be a different sensor available now). This made for a ride where if the awkward alignment was out the motor would pulse with power and off putting, combined with the juddering brakes which was due to the Swytch (heavy battery), I didn’t often use it. There were also a few equipment failures that were very well handled by customer service, who I can’t fault even when I had ignored the problem for sometime and was embarrassed approaching them. I know the battery is smaller and lighter now and I reckon if your bike is suitable then it’s a great buy. I certainly don’t regret it, as it was a great introduction to electric bikes and made me realise I was happy to buy an out and out electric bike but maybe I should have done that first.
