We manufacture adapters in the UK to suit Gen 2 and Gen 3 Swytch conversions, to allow for third party 36V batteries to be used. This gives the option for greater range and a degree of improvement in handling, by not having a weighty battery hanging off the handlebars. This started off as a...

PS. Thanks for pointing out the Australian (printcraft) adapter: interesting. This is closer to my design in some respects.

Hi eas2lv and guerney The eBay policy still allows existing 'business sellers' to sell eBike stuff, irrespective of whether it is of dubious quality. Private sellers are banned. I might try a more discreet, alternative listing! The competition adapter you highlight uses simple 1/4" spade...

Hi Guerney I did wonder if I could relist, but they take a pretty draconian approach to this. As it's quite a specific function, by listing it in a different category and without including keywords (Battery, Swytch etc.), I'm not sure poeple would find it. I've now set up a dedicated website to...

Hi eas2lv I appreciate your message, thanks. It was really frustrating to be caught in the eBay ban, since the adapter I designed is essentially a passive device and doesn't include the battery. I did appeal but to no effect. My company now handles the sale of the adapters, which allows me to...

Thanks for the complimentary observation! As I don't have a model 1, I can't verify, but I guess if the connector block is the same and the LED/switch pad, controller and wiring occupies the same volume, then it would work just as well. I'd be happy to send one FOC to someone with a model 1 to...

This kit is only for the older Switch GEN2 kit though, so would not be suitable for the newer model.

I have designed a solution to allow an external 36V battery to be fitted in place of a failed (or poor capacity) Swytch battery. It's a 3D printed housing for the controller and UI pad, which fits onto the handlebar connector. I sell it on eBay... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166874946938 It...
