    Swytch kit very close to delivery. Battery is much smaller. Looks close to a large IPhone. Will install battery on my 1985 Schwinn World Sport which I've owned since I was 16 yes old. Ordered bracket for drop post. Discrete and not adding weight to handle bars. Also throttle on handle bar was added to order❤

    “Miles wide cable buddies” have worked well for tidying up my cables

    Splendid old boy! I'm gonna do the same to my old Diamond Back Ascent......or Raleigh Twenty. 🤔

    That’s really cool ,the big smile said it all. I was looking into getting a e-bike from the store but this changed my mind about it. Thanks so much for sharing it. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.

    I thought the same and bought this ebike retrofit kit. The pedal of the sensor never worked and I never used it. I only have the walk mode. The point is that if the pedal sensor is not flashing, with everything correctly connected, Swytch doesn't tell you what to do. I don't know if the problem is the sensor or the wiring or the controller inside the battery. Overall, just a waste of money.

    Great review. Id prefer this if it had a frame mounting option tho

      This review was of the previous Swytch kit, but the new GEN3 Swytch kit can be frame mounted.

    3 hr charge seems reasonable. What’s the difference in charging time between the Swytch and the Enwe?

    Interesting ride review. Did you feel less tired after the ride out?
    Personally I’d sooner spend a £1,000 on a really nice frame and oodles of parts. Or pizza. Still on the fence about this. I’ll be interested in seeing what your Dad thinks of it as a fellow older rider.

    I have no real interest in e bikes but your bike looks awesome and the review was really fun to watch.
    The way I dealt with all the annoying cables was converting my road bike to fixed and taking the back brake off but I don't think that'll work for you.
