About us

2017

Our CEO and co-founder Oliver Montague invented the original Swytch eBike Kit concept in early 2017. Oliver used drawings and schematics of the original prototype to file a patent application, protecting the Intellectual Property. Once this had been completed, Swytch went public and launched on Indiegogo at the end of that year, raising over $500,000.

With a successful launch in the bag, the Swytch team used the funding to complete development of the first Swytch Kit. In 2018, the first Kits rolled off the production line and over 3,000 distributed to more than 45 countries. Swytch was off the ground and ready for the next chapter…

2019

Now a seasoned crowd-funding team, co-founders Oliver (CEO) and Dmitro (CTO) set out to take the Swytch Kit to the next level. Taking huge strides forward in R&D, and with all the feedback from their first product in mind, the second generation Swytch Kit was launched with new features and a compact design. It was a huge hit, landing over $1,000,000 in backing from the Indiegogo community and attracting widespread media attention.

Over the course of the next two years, the team went on to sell over 35,000 Kits across the globe, from Japan to Argentina and everywhere in between. The team grew from under 10 to over 80, fuelled by exponential growth across the company’s channels. Swytch was now an established player in the industry, with 1 in 20 eBikes sold in the UK in 2020 being a Swytch Kit.

2021

In late 2021, Swytch unveiled the next evolution in e-bike conversion technology—the Swytch Air Kit. Building on the success of our original kit, this innovative design took portability and convenience to new heights. The Air Kit features an ultra-lightweight, pocket-sized battery, making it one of the most compact and user-friendly conversion kits available on the market.

Our team, led by CEO and co-founder Oliver Montague, leveraged years of experience and user feedback to refine the design. After over two years of development, the Swytch Air Kit was launched to our growing community of riders, offering them the ability to transform their bikes with electric power in just minutes thanks to the patented quick connect handle bar mount design led by CTO Dmitro Khroma.

With this launch, Swytch continued to expand its global reach. Early adopters praised the Air Kit’s ease of installation and its lightweight design, which made it the perfect solution for urban commuters and recreational riders alike. The Air Kit not only maintained the power and reliability that our users love but also introduced a more compact battery solution, ensuring even greater freedom and flexibility on every ride. Swytch was once again setting the standard for e-bike innovation, ready for the next chapter in our journey.

2023

In 2023, Swytch introduced the GO Kit, the latest addition to our line of groundbreaking e-bike conversion kits. In the wake of rising living costs post-COVID, we recognized the need for a trustworthy and affordable solution to electric biking. Building on the success of the Air Kit, the GO Kit was designed with one key goal: making electric bike technology more accessible and affordable for everyone.

By integrating a larger, more powerful battery with an innovative Velcro mounting system, the GO Kit offers riders a robust yet simple solution for converting their existing bikes into electric ones.

The Swytch team focused on ease of use and extended range with this latest release. The GO Kit’s sleek battery design can power your rides for up to 60 miles on a single charge, while its universal compatibility makes installation easier than ever before.

With the GO Kit, Swytch continues to push the boundaries of e-bike technology, bringing sustainable transport options to a global audience. The kit launched to strong demand, receiving praise for its affordability, longer range, and intuitive design. Swytch is proud to keep leading the charge in electric mobility, ensuring that the future of cycling is electric—and within everyone’s reach.
