ooo how do you like the swytch? I've been eyeing it as I go back and forth on whether or not to turn my Priority bike into an ebike lol
I wrote a bit about it here but I can say after a few weeks with it it's really great -- I have heard some horror stories about battery life but that doesn't seem to be a problem with mine. Range seems to be about 10 miles on the "Air" lighter battery pack, which is about what is advertised.
The real problem with swytch is the incredibly long wait time, and in my case i had some taxes thing that ended up delaying things even further. Not ideal. but I'm pretty happy with the kit itself!
Oh cool ty!! Yeah not a huge fan of the idea of having that much exposed wires, nor the black zip ties for something that costs that much money. Speaking of, very weird that their site refuses to say anything about price lol that's always a weird vibe. The only thing I can find is CNN saying it's $1200?? which isn't that far off from the price of just a new ebike,,,
I think I'll go for one of the "technically illegal in the UK, probably illegal in the US but nobody is checking" kits that does more than peddle assist hehe
Fwiw, mine ended up being $749 (USD), though $100 of that was a display screen upgrade (the other $50 was shipping and taxes). The base price is about $600 for the AIR and I think $900 for the MAX.
That's a sizable tbf! ugh the place I bought my bike from just today sent me an email that's like "we're now selling [the bike I own] but with a really nice ebike configuration for [only $300 more than I paid for this bike only a few months ago]". Rip rip rip lmao
