First experience on an e-bike: what a ride!

I just upgraded my bike with a kit from Swytch

Some first reactions:
- The acceleration is exhilarating, and the top speed is just right
- I'm still pedalling, so I'm moving, but I didn't sweat for my 12-minute ride to and from the coffee shop I went to. I didn't get there winded or yucky
- It feels like clean fun, like I've got something people in gas cars can't boast to get out of the same trip, at a bargain

Love it

9mm fork dropouts on the bike, 10mm motor axle.... Looking like a file job 🙄

I'll wait to hear from support before going all McGyver

It was May last year it was ordered, shit happens...

Not for me but I'll be putting it together, looks well built.

One thing I did today was to convert my wife's bike into an e-bike via a Swytch kit. It was pretty straightforward - about 2 hours of work all up.

Nice review of the kit, which turns your bike into an ebike - the new light version you only 15km of power, but that's enough to scoot up into the , and sure can't you freewheel home then! The Swytch (swytchbike.com/) website offers 50% off deals, but doesn't say 50% off what price irishtimes.com/technology/cons
