How Does Swytch Bike Kit Work
The Swytch Bike kit is a remarkably simple system that seamlessly integrates with your existing bike.
Motor Wheel: This replaces your front wheel and is the heart of the electric assist system. The motor provides the extra oomph to propel you forward.
Power Pack (Battery): This lightweight, removable battery powers the motor. Swytch Bike offers two handlebar-mounted options (AIR and MAX) and three frame-mounted options (GO, GO+, GO++) to accommodate different range requirements.
Pedal Sensor: Mounted on your bottom bracket, this sensor detects when you're pedaling and engages the motor accordingly. This ensures a natural riding experience where the electric assist kicks in only when you're putting in effort.
Controller: This acts as the brain of the system, regulating power flow from the battery to the motor and ensuring everything functions smoothly.
Display (Optional): While not strictly necessary, a display can be added to provide information like speed, battery level, and assist mode selection.

Choosing the best Swytch Bike Conversion Kit
Consider Your Riding Style and Needs
- Distance: How far do you typically ride? If you have short commutes or leisure rides within 9 miles (15 km), the AIR battery might suffice. For longer distances up to 19 miles (30 km) or hillier terrain, the MAX battery is a better choice. If you need an even greater range, consider the GO series, offering ranges up to 60 miles (90 km) on a single charge.
- Riding Intensity: Do you prioritize ease and comfort, or do you enjoy a bit of a workout? The electric assist will help regardless, but choosing a battery with more range like the MAX or GO series will provide more power for tackling hills or maintaining higher speeds.
- Budget: Swytch conversion kits are already budget-friendly, but there's a price difference between the battery options. Choose the one that best fits your financial constraints.
Bike Compatibility
- Wheel Size: Swytch Kits come in 13 different wheel sizes. Double-check your bike's tire size to ensure compatibility. You'll find this information on the sidewall of your tire.
- Fork Compatibility: Since Swytch Bike uses a front motor wheel design, ensure your bike's front fork is compatible with the motor wheel's design. Swytch Bike offers a compatibility checker on their website to help you confirm this.
