    Swytch gen 1 and gen 2 controllers

    Strange, I haven't had any problems (yet) been using mine for a couple of years with the standard battery, and a few weeks with the new battery. Can you post a link to the new controller? I might buy one as a backup! There's limited space to do the splice and run cables in the standard...

    Swytch gen 1 and gen 2 controllers

    Spliced the wires going into the controller - thanks for the suggestion. Added a 500Wh 36V battery - a very worthwhile upgrade. The bike can now run in the highest power mode, and I think the top speed has increased (entered a smaller wheel size to unlock). With a separate bike computer I'm...

    Swytch gen 1 and gen 2 controllers

    Just tried measuring voltages on the four pins, either getting zero volts or fluctuating voltages across the pins. Makes me think there's a BMS to contend with, may not be possible to use own battery... also discussed here: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/swytch-battery-diy-upgrade.45488/

    Swytch gen 1 and gen 2 controllers

    I also want to change out the battery, I have a large capacity 36V. I'm not sure what gen my system is, but only a year old or so (pics attached). I have the handlebar mount, the battery has 4 spade connectors (female), and the 2 charging ports. I was going to solder female spade connectors to...

    Kona Dawg conversion - small battery

    Hi ...I'm new to the forum. First build but I've a feeling not my last! I've always liked the old kona full suspension bikes, so I picked up a 2005 dawg. It's pretty mint, only issues are due to lack of use but easy to sort out. My hope is to make this as light as possible.... I had a hardtail...
