Swytch Bikes

Swytch Bike makes conversion kits that turn an ordinary bicycle into an electric one. Founded in London in 2017 by engineers Oliver Montague and Dmitro Khroma, the company set out to make electric transport accessible to everybody by adding power to the bike people already own rather than asking them to buy a new one.

The kit pairs a motorised front wheel with a battery Power Pack that mounts on the handlebar; a patented quick-connect mount, developed by CTO Khroma, lets riders fit or remove it in seconds. The 2023 GO Kit extended range to up to 60 miles. More than 60,000 riders in over 100 countries have covered some 10 million miles, and Swytch says one in 20 e-bikes sold in the UK in 2020 carried its kit.
