I spent three months testing this e-bike conversion kit — and it turned me into an actual cyclist

As Reviews editor here at Tom’s Guide, I get to try out all kinds of tech, but I’ll admit I was particularly excited when Swytch offered me their latest e-bike conversion kit for testing, the Swytch Go ($349), which can turn any bike into a fully functioning e-bike with just a few tools and about an hour of your time. See, while I love my bicycle, as a single-speed it isn’t the easiest thing to ride, so I was hoping that turning it into one of the best electric bikes would solve some of the headaches and let me enjoy cycling more.

We’ve already covered the conversion kit in our Swytch Go review, where we rated it very highly. It’s a great bit of tech that’s easy to use and gives you all the benefits of an e-bike from a reliable and trusted brand, without a huge expenditure. You can use the bike you love and even breathe new life into one that has perhaps lacked the TLC it deserves.
