What is not compatible?

What Swytch is not compatible with

  • Any bikes with thru-axles – our motor wheel cannot be installed on bikes with thru-axles.
  • Our rims have a standard internal width of 20mm and an external width of 24mm. Swytch wheels can take any width of tyres from 1.1-2.5 inches (28-64mm), so they won’t fit with Fat Tyres or very narrow road tyres.
  • If you have hub, roller or coaster brakes, you may be able to change to disc brakes or rim brakes to use the Swytch kit. Also, our folding kit does not support disc brakes.
  • Some carbon road bikes have wider bottom brackets that do not allow space for our PAS to be fitted, and therefore they are not compatible. The same goes for some mountain bikes that have suspension chainstays. The Pedal sensor and magnet disk need approximately 40mm space between the sensor mounting point and the crank arm.
  • If you aren’t sure about whether a bike is compatible with Swytch, just get in touch with us here and we’ll answer any questions you have ASAP.
