Switch Two Electric Bike Kit w/LCD Display (Up to 37 Miles Range)

I just installed the switch-2 on a Cannondale Treadwell. The product seems first rate in terms of quality. My test ride exceeded expectations. Installation was somewhat a challenge. But it was easy to get help from tech support, by phone and email. The installation videos seem to have a dual purpose. First is to offer instructions. But they are much more oriented toward marketing… being very short and severely understating the details, especially for disc brakes. I’m an industrial engineer. You either need to have lots of patience or rely on professional help. But there would still be risk involved in relying on a professional due to certain details that must be followed for proper operation. An exception is the video on the app and LCD display/controller, which is longer and got me easily through that process. There were no written instructions included for installing the wheel and battery. If you have rim brakes, my comments would be less relevant because installation would be easier, but not without challenges. All in all, I’m pleased.

The installation was straightforward. The only caveat is to double-check the clearance at the front fork. I initially planned to install it on a bike with disc brakes, but my measurements were slightly off. I installed it on a bike with caliper brakes instead, and it works great. I primarily use it on hills and to fight a headwind.

Honestly it’s everything i hoped it would be. Only used the trigger not the lcd so far but loving it. Easily put it on my fixie and makes hills so much easier.

I was close to buying a $3,500 electric road bike before doing some research and discovering the E-Switch2 conversion kit. I’m so glad I did! Instead of replacing my current road bike (which I already love), I was able to convert it into an electric bike for about 1/5 of the price of a brand-new e-bike.

It did take me about an hour and a half to install because my carbon fork opening was too small, so i had to shave off some of the inside metal first to make the wheel slide in. I also spray painted the silver stripe on the wheel before install to make it match the all black wheel design on my bike.

On my first ride, I only used about 30% pedal assist and covered 10 miles, ending the ride with just 18% of my battery used. That’s impressive efficiency. I even tackled a couple of steep hills using just the throttle—without ever shifting out of the highest gear—and it handled them with ease.

Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the E-Switch2 kit. It performs beautifully, is cost-effective, and lets me keep riding the bike I already know and love. I hope this review helps anyone considering making the switch—it’s absolutely worth it!

Easy install - 1 hour for me (had to play around with # of washers (included) needed to create space so the motor does not rub on the forks, add the disc brake and ensure not rubbing on break pads, install the battery & run the wires with zip ties, remove grip/hand brake/gear shifter to put LCD display on handle bar, swap in a mountain bike tire). LCD app setup is easy, gyro calibration being most important. Take your time!
Riding - I live in a very hilly neighborhood and weigh 200lb, so was concerned eswitchy2 would be powerful enough. After my first ride, at 50% pedal assist and use of the throttle on occasion, eswitchy2 provided the right amount of boost to easily ride up the steepest hill at 15mph. Should provide me with fun, longer bike rides in the future.
