  • The main thing I see is front wheels being ripped out, uncontrollable bikes, fork hooks broken, cables everywhere.

    Worse I have seen it goodbye two front teeth and a broken nose because the front wheel managed to come out of the fork etc.

    So were these incidents due to Swytch conversion kits ?

  • broken hook yes;

    saw this review that was "answered" by swytch..

    most importantly he commented that the control system cut off a bit sharply at 15mph, which is a good observation! Our high torque 40Nm motor is more powerful than most eBike motors, meaning that it gives high acceleration right up to the top speed of 15mph.
    In contrast, other eBikes have weaker and weaker power as the speed increases, meaning that you don’t really notice when the power cuts out to comply with the law (eBikes must not be able to provide power when you are cycling faster than 15mph)

    Inaccurate, they have cadence sensor but not torque, meaning they are very much off/on rather than a smooth moderated system giving a nice output. its like rocket ship and off!

  • To be fair though, the Brompton system really needs a rewrite. The power need to be tapered off a little.
    We've had so many people come in alarmed at how brutal it pulls. If you don't mind that, it's quite fun spinning the wheel even when not wet.
    Even Brompton tech confirmed it was a little....heavy handed.

    Still with you though, I wouldn't convert a standard Brompton without reinforced front end.
    Seen too many bikes come in in two pieces.
