I can understand this argument @Nealh. I feel it's down to the user's preference (plug & play, or customise until your heart is content). My thoughts are: if I were to keep Swytch's 100sx hub, then I think KT route is appropriate. If I were to go for the whole new kit and I have no interest in...

Many thanks Woosh for your transparency, very much appreciated. It sounds bit like a comparison of Windows and Macintosh - KT (like Windows) allows end-user to configure / customise the system (trade-off is that the user needs to know what they're doing) whilst Lishui sounds like the...

Thanks @Nealh and @Cisco-man. Also I realised there was an absolute gem of a thread further down by @throwawaychap: Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery. Wealth of detailed information and it has been so valuable for me to dig...

Oops, I've just spotted very similar thread further down (@FrTedCrilly from Dublin :p): Any update/experience on alternate battery and controller options to use with Swytch front wheel ? ( eg. Geeko) | Pedelecs - Electric Bike Community Doesn't seem to have an update from his experience so it...

Hello fellow ebikers, I've been posting few questions around Swytch kit (bought Oct 2020, second generation, PRO model) and how to upgrade the build using more widely available components. Well, the time is nearly here to ditch the Swytch kit. The hub motor judders and whines very loudly...

Thanks very much Nealh, The actual battery unit in Swytch kit (or at least the ones I have; I've seen different kinds on Google Image) seems to be a generic blue wrapped cell unit with red&black wire battery (+the input socket for charging) so I'm convinced it can be connected to a controller...

Thanks for the comment AGS. As far as I can see inside the power pack, Lishui controller and the battery can be separated (Amass XT30 terminals). Out of curiosity, I dismantled one power pack before (this one had XT30 completely melted due to poor soldering at factory) and the battery unit is...

ok had some more time to do some research. Thanks to Nealh, I'm looking at topbikekit website for the controller. SOLUTION 1 is to get a controller kit and try to get Swytch battery to connect: Two choice of controller kit that I see: T06S 24V/36V250W 15A KT Sine Wave Controller with Julet...

Thank you nealh for the links. I'm getting my head around. Another challenge I realised is the battery removal for security and charging. I'll need a waterproof container for the controller and a convenient way to disconnect the battery and the rest of the set up. Salvaging the Swytch power...

Well this is a nice kit, it has lots of options (front/rear hub or both! 250/350W motor, 5.2-10Ah batteries, throttle/no throttle). It seems to be cheaper than Swytch kit (plus no waiting list, long wait for delivery it seems) and the whole kit looks neat with the controller + display on the...

Thank you both for your advice! Realistically, I don't have the time (with two young kids and full-time job on site) to explore all the options and face the risk of things not being compatible. I'm effectively just keeping the 100sx hub motor from the Swytch kit and replace everything else...

Thanks very much Nealh, KT (kunteng) seems to have lots of different models for controller, display and PAS. How do I go about finding the right combination of controller, display, PAS and battery unit to work with Swytch's 100sx motor hub? Where do I begin with the search? I am...

Thanks both, especially JCRollins for the second link - that's exactly what I'm trying to do. There are some numbers on the motor hub: Switch 11 digit number that I assume is a serial number (so I won't put on here) 100SX-6XX-36H-S Bit of Googling tells me that: 100SX could mean Aikema (AKM)...

Hello everyone, Overall, I've been a happy customer of Swytch kit (got PRO kit in Oct 2020), I would have not got into pedelec bike without it. After ~4,000miles of usage, 3x replacement battery packs (all received within one year warranty period), I've ran out of working battery packs (all...

I'm two years down the line so their support is basically this: "got a fault? sure, we can help. we can provide replacement parts for £££££." Swytch wheel, or any brushless motorised hub wheel, will not spin "forever" like non-motorised hub (they do spin though). But that shouldn't matter as...

I'm interested in looking into this. One obvious question is "will it be a simple plug & play" to the Swytch motor hub. I suspect the wiring plug ends won't be the same (I can see different terminals) and will the wiring within the terminals be in the same sequence. How can I tell?

Very interesting comments from everyone, thank you very much. Have you got the replacement controller from Aliexpress? And how is the controller going? Just looked and the price as gone up to £108.92. So maybe it could be wiser to ditch the original controller and get KT controller as...

Thanks very much both; helpful to find out a bit more about the controller. The issue I can see here is that, unless I find an identical controller I'd have to fiddle the connectors to match wire to wire configuration. Just Googled KT controller and led to an eBay page which shows 500W...

Hello everyone, I had Swytch PRO kit since October 2020 and I've done 3,500miles in nearly two years of commuting. Swytch has been great overall to get me into "pedelec" but I've also had the typical experience of its components failing regularly and having to go through the frustrating email...

First post here, so glad to find a forum about ebikes. I'm following this thread with interest. I also have Swytch PRO kit, since Oct 2020. I've done nearly 3,500miles on it and overall the experience has been positive as a first ebike experience. I echo the comments about support team and...
