Swytch Ebike Conversion Kit

[Doninho11]

Does anyone know if the Swytch kit is compatible with an 18 inch wheel?

I don't see why not. Best to ask Switch. I heard they are quite helpful before they take your money.

Do they sell a version with an 18 inch motor wheel ?

It might be an idea to explain what you're trying to achieve.

Dropout spacing also matters...but on diameter fitting a motor intended for a 20" wheel in an 18" rim would only be 10% slow, so good enough.

I aim to buy a 'Riese & Muller Birdy' folding bike, (which has an 18" wheel setup) and would like to buy the Swytch Ebike Conversion Kit. I'd like to know if this is possible. Thanks.

Looks as if you would need to buy the bare motor and build the 18" wheel yourself.
Swytch are not generally best for value for money or post-sales support;
but ready built 18" electric wheels look rare from other vendors too.
I can't see any except with non-geared motors which are unlikely to be suitable.

Never seen 18" in Swytch wheel selection menu. Ask Swytch support.
For a folding bike also check the fork spacing. Swytch has two options -- the so-called universal which is 100mm, and folding which will fit 74 to 80mm. You have to choose one of the two based on your fork, not based on folding or not.
