I have a pro gen 2 swytch kit on my 20" wheeled folder. Really frustrated by number of faults on my kit and commitment to customer service and support (which ranges from adequate to very poor and robotic). (More info here: http://www.chrisrumsey.co.uk/swytchbike/ ) Looking to ditch-the-Swytch and get a better supported quality replacement. What I have liked about Swytch gen 2 kit is weight. I have reasonably lightweight weight 20" wheeled "Vello Alfine" folding bike. With the extra weight of Swytch kit it didn't turn it into a heavy weight beast. It's still a bike which I is practical to fold, take on the bus or carry up a set of steps. That's my bug bear with a lot of electric bikes. To my mind they are not really bikes any more. They are so heavy that are not as practical as their non-electric predecessors. I also have a year 2000 a semi recumbent bike (called "Bike-E" - "E" did not stand for electric I think I was supposed to be E for evolution ). It has 16" front wheel 20" back wheel. I am interested to electrify this, while trying not to add to much extra weight.
