The Swytch Air kit is a unique new product that essentially creates retrofit e-bike sets that are able to be simply bolted onto existing bicycles. This way, it creates a new electric purpose to the design, and to do so, users start off by replacing the front wheel with a new one.
This new wheel has a 250W electric motor built in and it comes with a pedal sensor, controller, and battery — the switch kit is about $550 before tax. To purchase one, there are a few steps that need to be taken before heading down to the store. The company will need to know the size of the existing bike and its wheels including specific measurements of the front forks, the size of the gap of the wheels, and more.
