In the dynamic world of electric mobility, few brands have placed as much emphasis on accessibility and usability as Swytch. As pioneers of the premier electric bike conversion kits globally, they have enabled over 100,000 users to electrify their bicycles. Now, they have introduced their most groundbreaking model to date: the Swytch MAX+ Kit. This latest offering continues to redefine the benchmark in intelligent, DIY e-bike solutions. With the average high-quality electric bike priced around £2,500, the new model presents an excellent opportunity to create your own cutting-edge eBike for under £1,000, making electric mobility more achievable than ever.
And the highlight? You can grab this exceptional kit for just £399 (down from the £999 recommended retail price) if you pre-order right now!
Available for purchase starting today, the Swytch MAX+ advances Swytch’s patented line of eBike kits, boasting an impressive range of features. A notable highlight is its extended range, offering up to 60 miles on a single charge, powered by a Lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 370Wh.
Beyond just range, the MAX+ comes equipped with smart features, including an integrated front light for better visibility and a handy USB-C charging port. The compact battery unit can also serve as a power bank, capable of charging your smartphone around 200 times—ideal for staying powered up while on the move.
Safety is a primary focus, featuring industry-leading battery technology rigorously tested and certified to stringent standards (such as UN and CE) along with IPX6 certified waterproofing to ensure resilience against the elements.
The Swytch Conversion Kit is built on a brilliantly simple idea: it can convert almost any conventional bike into a road-legal pedal-assist electric bike, reaching speeds of up to **15mph** (or **20mph** in the USA), with a power output of **250W**. The system operates by replacing your current front wheel with a custom-built motor wheel, made in Swytch’s UK facility in Norwich. This motor wheel connects to an easily detachable battery pack that fits securely on your handlebars, providing pedal-assist power as you begin your ride.
A significant advantage of the MAX+ is its battery, which can be instantly removed via the innovative mounting system. This functionality allows your bike to revert back to a conventional model, enhancing transport flexibility (ideal for the tube) and facilitating storage in standard homes and workplaces.
As CEO Oliver Montague remarks, “We’re heavily investing in safety and quality to differentiate ourselves in an eBike market affected by recent adverse policy decisions. We believe these policies are a step back for the UK, where we should be encouraging eMobility. So, in alignment with our mission to make electric transport accessible to everyone, we are launching our most advanced system yet, the Swytch MAX+.” CTO Dmitro Khroma emphasizes that the kit is “filled with advanced features, including state-of-the-art battery safety technology, IPX6 certified waterproofing, a USB-C charging port… and the ability to produce 250W, allowing your cycle to travel up to 60 miles.”
The kit comprises everything necessary to electrify your bike: Power Pack, charger, pedal sensor, motor wheel, and additional components. It accommodates wheel sizes from **16” to 29”**, and for the first time, it is compatible with thru-axle forks, offering two sleek matte black rear motor wheel options in various sizes. An optional LED display allows you to manage power, monitor battery life, track distance, and access settings.
Excitingly, the Swytch MAX+ kit is currently in stock and can be purchased for just £399 with a pre-order. Those on Swytch’s pre-order waitlist will also receive an invitation this week to secure the next production batch for summer delivery at a substantial pre-order discount. It’s a powerful, practical, and accessible method to electrify your ride.
