Founded by engineers Oliver Montague and Dmitro Khroma in 2017, we’re a London-based startup with an industry-leading product and global recognition. To date, there are over 60,000 loyal Swytchers across 100+ countries, who’ve collectively ridden over 10 million miles!
So, are you ready to make your bike electric?
Swytch Legacy
2017
In early 2017, CEO and co-founder Oliver Montague created the original Swytch eBike Kit concept and patented the design. By the end of that year, Swytch launched on Indiegogo, raising over $500,000.
With the funds, the team completed the first Swytch Kit, and in 2018, over 3,000 Kits were shipped to 45+ countries, marking the start of Swytch’s journey.
Swytch Eco/Pro
2019
Now a seasoned crowdfunding team, co-founders Oliver (CEO) and Dmitro (CTO) set out to elevate the Swytch Kit. With major R&D advances and user feedback, the second-gen Kit launched with a sleek, compact design—raising over $1M on Indiegogo and gaining media buzz.
Over the next two years, Swytch sold 35,000 Kits worldwide, expanding from under 10 to over 80 employees. By 2020, 1 in 20 eBikes sold in the UK featured a Swytch Kit, cementing its place in the industry.
Swytch AIR
2021
In late 2021, Swytch introduced the AIR and MAX Kit, the next evolution in eBike conversion. Building on our original kit’s success, the AIR Kit features an ultra-light, pocket-sized battery for unmatched portability.
Led by CEO Oliver Montague and CTO Dmitro Khroma, our team refined the design over two years, using user feedback to perfect the patented quick-connect handlebar mount—allowing riders to electrify their bikes in minutes.
Swytch GO
2023
In the wake of rising living costs post-COVID, Oliver Montague recognised 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 even more accessible.
By integrating a larger, more powerful battery with an innovative Velcro mounting system, the GO Kit offers riders a robust yet simple solution which can power your rides for up to 60 miles on a single charge, while its universal compatibility makes installation easier than ever before.
Swytch MAX+
2024
Building on the success of the AIR Kit, the MAX+ was designed to give riders extended range and enhanced convenience. With a high-capacity battery offering up to 60 miles on a single charge, integrated USB-C charging for devices, and a built-in front light for added visibility, the Max+ redefines what’s possible in a lightweight conversion kit.
Designed for seamless compatibility and effortless installation, the Max+ makes upgrading your ride easier than ever – so you can go further, ride smarter, and experience the freedom of electric biking.
