Ok thanks, I will bear that in mind.

Absolutely, I think they are about £7 on aliexpress including postage. Problem is delivery is end of May beginning of June.

Just had an email from Swytch. They are selling the throttles on their website at https://shop.swytchbike.com/ for £30 plus £5 p+p

Also, if you put in a search for FT-21X on aliexpress.com, you get quite a few hits but not all have a female connector.

Yes thanks, by coincidence I found the same thing with a Swytch throttle now selling on ebay here in the UK. If you zoom in on the image FT-21X is stamped on it.

Thanks, I think that is the way forward.

Also you might want to look at this, the seller says it's not compatible with Swytch. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273819960936?hash=item3fc0f10668:g:eU0AAOSwpp1cwFFK

Also I did find a throttle on Amazon with a 3 pin Julet female connector so it fitted the controller on the Swytch but it didn't work.

Great info thank you. The connector is a male Julet 3 pin but I don't know which pin is which without stripping the cable.

The brake sensors were another optional extra from Swytch. I have to admit it was great marketing by them! Thanks for your input Bonzo Banana

The Amazon kit is this one SEASON 26 Inch E-Bike Conversion Kit 36V 250W front motor with 36V15.6Ah Hailong battery, for front wheel disc/v brake, with integrated controller, front light and battery charger I will post a pic of it on my bike later.

Thanks for the reply Bonzo Banana, A thumb throttle was an accessory that was on offer with the Swytch so I don't think that the throttle connection would be disconnected. Other people have managed to get a throttle from Amazon and by cutting and re-soldering wires etc have got a working throttle. I was hoping to go down the simple route and find a throttle which was "plug and play" I agree entirely that the Swytch is not value for money but it is a very simple kit to fit and the support when fitting is very very good. If I had done my due diligence I would not have bought it. I have fitted a Swytch kit to my wife's Pendleton style bike and another to a full size folding mountain bike. The Swytch kits were the Pro with the bigger battery. The Amazon kit I have fitted to my old Claud Butler Spirit mountain bike. The Amazon kit has a battery with twice the capacity as the Swytch kit.

Nealh, thanks again for the reply. I can't really confirm the wire colour mating without stripping the controller connector and the throttle connector but I guess I will have to do that if I can't find a throttle to match. AndyBike, yes you are correct about Swytch. If I had done my research on conversion kits I wouldn't have purchased a Swytch. The Amazon kit I used is better.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have checked. You can only fit them together one way. There is an arrow on the controller connector which has to line up with the arrow on the throttle connector.

Hi Everyone, As I have just finished converting some rather old bikes, I thought I had better join this forum! I do, however, have a question. Would anybody know where I can get thumb throttles for the Swytch conversions please? I am not getting any replies from Swytch when I emailed them to ask if I could purchase one from them. The Amazon kit came with one and so I would like to fit one to the Swytch bikes. The Swytch bike controller has an orange 3 pin male connector for a thumb throttle so I thought I would get a thumb throttle from Amazon with a 3 pin female connector. Obviously, that was too simple an answer because the throttle would not work. Any help gratefully accepted.
