Our Mission

Turn drivers into cyclists by converting bikes into eBikes

People with eBikes cycle considerably more on average than the average regular bicycle owner. Electric assist unlocks extra range and provides a convenience to traveling that allows people to use their bicycle as a primary mode of transport.

Through converting bikes into eBikes we hope to contribute to a more sustainable transport ecosystem and be part of the bigger picture of combating climate change. Not only are we reducing people’s emissions as they travel, but we’re also reducing the emissions associated with manufacturing the original technology.

A regular bicycle requires emissions of over 200kg of CO2 during the manufacturing process, and larger, heavier electric bicycles are almost double that. A Swytch eBike kit takes just 50kg of CO2 to manufacture, meaning that the environmental impact is 8 times lower compared to most complete electric bicycles.

Crowd-Funded in 2017

Over 1,000 backers helped turn a patented idea into reality

Our CEO and co-founder Oliver Montague invented the original Swytch eBike concept at the start of 2017. Drawings and schematics of the original prototype were used to file a patent application to protect the Intellectual Property. Once this had been done, Swytch went launched on Indiegogo and raised over $500,000.

With this funding developed, manufactured and distributed over 3,000 eBikes kits to over 45 countries in 2018. We are extremely proud of our Swytch Community who have now ridden over 1 million miles combined.
