How it works
Unlocking the magic
01
Start pedaling!
One the Kit is successfully installed, first turn the Kit on and just begin to pedal like you normally would. You will see the red LED of the pedal sensor begins to flash!
02
Info gets sent to the controller
The motor controller regulates the flow of electricity from the Power Pack to the motor wheel, controlling speed and torque based on rider input from sensors like the throttle or pedal-assist. It ensures smooth operation, monitors system performance, and protects the motor from electrical overloads. The GO controller is integrated directly into the Power Pack and within the mount for the AIR Kits.
03
Motor wheel gets supplied with power
The motor wheel houses the motor that converts electrical energy from the Power Pack into mechanical energy to propel the bike forward with 250W of power!

Step 1
Swap in the motor wheel
Remove your boring old front wheel, swap the tyre over to the new Swytch motor wheel, built in the exact size to match your bike.

Step 2
Attach the pedal sensor
Simply attach the pedal sensor so the Kit knows when you start and stop peddling, so it knows when to give you power.


Step 3
Secure the power pack
Attach the GO pack to the frame of your bike with the easy to use velcro straps. For the AIR battery, simply attach the mount to your handle bars (or wherever you're putting it) and click the battery in place.


...and that's it!
The electric power feels natural, as if someone is pedalling with you. To stop the power, just stop pedalling, it's a simple as that!
