I got a Swytch kit with the air battery. I have had other e-bikes too. I do like that the air version is really light, and the small battery has enough range to get over 14-15 miles even with 600-700' of elevation on my commute. It charges fast enough that I can commute into the downtown area of my city, recharge while doing some work, and come home within a few hours. One unforeseen advantage is that I can climb a 15% grade that broke my other bikes' drive side spokes. I think that this is due to the front hub motor doing maybe half of the work as the rear wheel takes the rest of the load. So two wheels taking the load instead of one means less strain on the rear spokes. I live close to some very steep climbs, which is why I got an e-bike kit in the first place about 9 years ago.

i like little front hub motors for trikes for older folks, and newb bike riders . thy are great for rehabbing knees or cardio . Just enough power to enjoy and lower speeds for safety . Plus its All wheel drive ⚡

Looks pretty interesting. 40Nm seems about half of commercial ebikes but may be good enough for mostly flat travel. I really want it for a Linus Dutchi that I use for hauling a cargo trailer and wondering if it will be powerful enough. Thoughts?

My biggest concern over electric bicycles is the fire safety if you charge the batteries at home - in your house or garage. Are these Swytch batteries LFP or a chemistry which won't burn your house down if it's faulty?

I went to order my Swytch kit
And the add-ons were a little overwhelming. Can you talk about what kind of brake sensors a person might want if they have disc brakes and what is the difference between an in-line break and a hydraulic break? Do I really need to buy extension cables for the motor or other parts, especially if I’m having the kit delivered to the USA and don’t want to wait for future add-ons that I unexpectedly need?

Great video Matt, thank you very much. I wonder if you could tell me how you mounted the
Max mount over the front mudguard. I have a Dahon D7 boardwalk and would like to do the same thing, as using the handlebar position prevents complete folding of the bike, even with the Max battery removed. Thanking you in advance.
Pete.

How much for biggest battery to carry a spare? And How would it work on a mountain bike that mostly gets main traction in rear wheel?

It's a little expensive considering you can get a faster and longer range ebike for not a lot more. Maybe if the price was closer to 300. But 500 for the middle range kit is too much.

Swytch bike have not respected their commitment to increase the speed of their Kit for Canada as they say on their site and as they told me. Very disappointing, I hope they will correct the speed limit.

SWYTCH SCAM ALERT. I ordered the Swytch kit. It came in months later but at the estimated time. It DID NOT fit my bike. The tire fit but the axel did not fit my fork. Customer service barely replies. I asked multiple times if I could buy a wheel motor with a wider axel. No response. I was allowed to send it back for a refund. I sent it back. A week later they tell me they are only giving a partial refund. No refund for $50 shipping and no refund for the $78 tax. That's $128 out of my pocket. No response from Swytch. I am now trying to make a dispute with my bank. AVOID THIS PRODUCT. This seller does not try to help you with fitting the product. They do not reply. If it does not fit your bike you are out $128.
