    Is it possible to switch battery and/or controller for my swytch bike pro 2nd gen? The reason I need a change is that the connector from my controller to my battery melted yesterday while biking and swytch customer service wont send me a new controller, they only want to sell me a new conversion...

    Swytch battery DIY upgrade

    Hi All, I have got the new swytch kit and with the Max battery, it is ok for my everyday commutes but it would be impossible engaging in longer rides (unless purchasing additional 3-4 battery packs!) I wonder if anyone tried to create a DIY battery for the swytch kit using the large battery...

    Swytch battery has died!

    Help! I have a Swytch Pro battery that has died and I don't want to pay $600 for a Swytch replacement. Is there a cheaper battery/controller alternative out there? I live in Maine, USA. Thanks.

    Swytch Kit - no communication, nobody cares

    Bought the kit in September and the delivery should be, as per order detail, between January and February. I really cannot understand why we have to pay based on a delivery timeframe if Swytch can’t honour it? Yesterday I received only part of my order and, like many people in different fora...

    Swytch kit controller replacement?

    Hello everyone, I had Swytch PRO kit since October 2020 and I've done 3,500miles in nearly two years of commuting. Swytch has been great overall to get me into "pedelec" but I've also had the typical experience of its components failing regularly and having to go through the frustrating email...

    Need a suitable hub motor/wheel replacement for a Swytch kit

    Hi folks, I've had my Swytch kit for a while now and it's generally been good, however there's something wrong with the hub motor and I'm out of warranty (I hear a weird high-pitched grinding, like some internal gears are slipping or something). It seems they no longer sell spare parts like...

    Swytch Battery

    Hi everyone, I'm a new member and this is my first post. A couple of years ago I bought a Swytch kit. After some initial problems, it's been ok. I've only done about 400 miles with it. Last week I went to charge it but when I plugged the charger into the battery there were a couple of sparks...

    Bought a Brompton electric hub (motor only), now what? S2L or M3L?

    Hi everybody I hope that I’m in the right place, I thought that I’d say ‘hi’. I recently became a bit obsessed with pedelecs and after some misfortune with a heavy and faulty e-bike; a Mezzo that I don’t have the confidence to convert and backing the Swytch Brompton project that will bring no...

    Power for Hills Only + swap between bikes if possible...

    I'm looking to get back to cycling to try and lose weight. Unfortunately we are surrounded by hills, which makes it tough for a seriously overweight / moderately unfit rider. I currently have a 27 (3x9) speed alloy hybrid which I may use over winter, but I would like to get a sportive...
