Looking to turn your regular bike electric but not sure which Swytch Kit is right for you? With two sleek options available — the MAX Kit and the GO Kit — it’s easier than ever to electrify your ride. But choosing the right one depends on your bike, your lifestyle, and how far (and fast) you want to go.
Let’s break it down.
First, What’s the Difference?
Both kits use the same lightweight front motor wheel, cadence sensor, and easy installation system. The only difference is where the battery goes, and how much power it holds.
Feature | MAX Kit (Handlebar) | GO Kit (Frame) |
---|---|---|
Battery Mount | On your handlebars | On your bike frame |
Range Options | Up to 60 miles | Up to 60 miles |
Design | Sleek and removable in seconds | Integrated and locked on with a key (Bottle Cage Mount Accessory) |
Why Choose the MAX Kit?
The MAX Kit features a compact, removable Power Pack that sits neatly on your handlebars. It’s ideal for:
-
Commuters who want to pop the battery on and off easily
-
People with multiple bikes (or folding bikes) who like flexibility
-
Urban riders who want fast charging and plug-and-play simplicity
-
Those who live in shared buildings and want to take their battery inside
Highlights:
-
USB-C phone charging (on MAX+/MAX++)
-
Battery can be removed quickly
-
Available in 20-mile, 40-mile, and 60-mile versions
Why Choose the GO Kit?
The GO Kit keeps things stealthy. The battery mounts on your frame using the Velcro straps or the Bottle Cage Mount, making it look almost like a regular eBike conversion Kit.
It’s best for:
-
Daily riders who want a more fixed setup
-
People concerned about theft (battery can lock to frame)
-
Anyone looking for a clean, integrated aesthetic
-
Riders on rough terrain who want low center of gravity and extra stability
Highlights:
-
Always on the bike, locked securely (Bottle Cage Mount)
-
Clean, low-profile design
-
Also comes in 20, 40, and 60-mile options
Final Thoughts
Both kits offer the same powerful electric boost and simple installation — so you can’t really go wrong. The decision comes down to how you plan to use it.
-
Choose MAX for convenience, portability, and plug-and-play riding.
-
Choose GO for integration, security, and a more built-in, rugged look.
