Maybe that's why it doesn't bother me on my 20" wheels, though I have lowered the mounting height a little also so that it's down below the handlebars, nor on my 16" wheels where I've mounted it just above the wheel. But then that is also the versatility of the Swytch kit. There is also a bracket that has been developed within the Swytch Brompton community that mounts the power pack low down.
I have never needed access to or visibility of the Swytch LCD whilst in motion so don't see it as an important USP. It's USP is the integration with the mounting bracket. During a ride I much prefer to refer to a generic bike dashboard on an old smartphone. The only time the Swytch LCD would be useful, IMO, is when you want to monitor Watts being expended on the go.
I don't get you. Lots of people have integrated all the electronics either inside the downtube battery mounting base or a controller box fitted in front of their rack battery. In case of a folding bike, all the electronics can be integrated in the chainring like this:
Clearly. The USP is the ease with which you can remove the greatest part of your ebike investment, the batteries (plus the controller and display), and take them with you. If your bike is stolen you haven't lost that investment. Sure other solutions lock the battery into or onto the frame and when your bike gets nicked your whole investment has gone. Don't get me wrong, I like the look of your bikes, I have one somewhat similar (somewhatish), I just personally prefer the whole concept of Swytch, but can't blame you for fighting your, naturally biased, corner as a Trade Member, and it's great to see how quickly you support your customers in this forum.
Aaaahhhh!, my mistake/misunderstanding, I'll slap myself. That makes more sense then, and why the Swytch'd Brompton community have have been able to develop a similar bracket to mount the Swytch Kit
for me, this thread is a technical discussion, not a fight.
My apologies Woosh, I didn't expect nor intend 'fight' to be taken in a derogatory sense. I meant it in terms of my expectation that a business would naturally defend their own, in this case technical', decisions, and I was merely explaining and trying to defend my technical decisions. I too only saw this as a technical Discussion NOT a fight. If you ever add something along the lines of the Electra Low-Rider Cruiser to your range, I'll certainly give it serious consideration, Swytch'd or pre-powered by yourselves.
My motor is very quite to be honest. For the communication yes they need to improve on that. The good thing is they will sort the problem at the end. There is a new campaign coming with small power pack. Worth checking it out.
