.SwytchBike's new battery kit turns ANY conventional bicycle into an e-bike... And M0veElectric has the full story
conversion firm Swytch Technology has launched what it calls the world’s first ‘pocket-sized’ battery kit, which can be used to add electrical assistance to any standard bike.
The firm has offered the first generation of its Swytch Kit since 2017, and has sold nearly 40,000 units worldwide, including more than 9000 in the UK in 2020. The kit comprises a battery pack, handlebar bracket, front motor wheel and a pedal sensor that ensures the motor is only used to offer pedal assistance.
On the original system, the power pack weighs 2kg, with the wheel adding a further 1.5kg. But the second-generation Swytch Kit features a power pack weighing just 700g, which can be recharged in around an hour. The power pack is similar in size to a large smartphone and offers 250W of power with a range of nine miles. Its small size mean that it can be taken on some aeroplanes as carry-on luggage.
The firm will also offer a larger battery pack that weights 1100g and has a 17-mile range. The previous version had a range of around 31 miles.
