I ordered and fitted the Swytch kit to my 2018 Giant Fathom MTB to use to commute to work. The MAX battery is only good for 10 - 15 km, around the hills in town. I can extend the range to 20km if I turn off the power on the downhills and flat terrain.
Overall, I'm happy the way it works for short commutes.
Converting our Bromptons has allowed us to get out more and go greater distances
the only thing i wish i had done was also get the hand controls as it would make it a little easier for my wife who is now in her seventies.
I have been using the Swytch Max Kit 16" for my daily commute and occasional trips. It's a great kit that is easy to use, smart and reliable. However, during the kit set-up, I faced the issue of a broken pedal sensor cable. Despite that, I love the Swytch Max Kit.
During the kit set-up, I faced the issue of a broken pedal sensor cable. The Swytch Support team sent me the replacement items for free, which was great. However, the support process was slow and it took a long time for them to respond to my queries. Even after receiving an automated response with a ticket number, I had to wait for days, sometimes even weeks, to get a response from them.
This Swytch bike is brilliant. I had bought one before and was very happy with it, and was very pleased to see that they had introduced the Swytch GO range at a lower price point, so I ordered another one.
A few days in and we're very happy with our new purchase. Fitting was straightforward (with a little help from someone who understands bikes better than I do!), and it rides beautifully. Sure, the battery is larger and heavier that the Swytch Max that I bought previously, but given it's an electric bike, that doesn't matter so much. And it's still a lot lighter than an electric bike! And as the battery can easily be removed, you can choose to go light when you don't need the batter.
When you live in a hilly areas like we do, Swytch is really fantastic!
Delivery was a little longer than originally expected as the team were ensuring their new Go+ units met their standards. However, in the end I didn't mind the slightly longer wait... and it was worth it! Installation on my Trek bike was really easy and took no more than 45min from start to finish. I wanted it to make the hills to and from work a bit easier... and it hasn't disappointed. Cycled to work for the first time yesterday with the new electric powered Trek and it's made the commute so much more enjoyable and the hills are barely noticeable now.. which is no mean thing given I have a 130m altitude gain in each direction.
Overall, great item and worth the wait!
Kit arrived and was relatively easy to install. All the parts fitted well and the wheel and spacers fitted perfectly. Once put together, the cables were routed and the bike was ready to ride. No issues. And good customer support when I had a a couple of questions.
In some respects the MessianicJewish movement has made phenomenal strides. Whereas a mere thirty years agothere were very few Messianic Jewish synagogues, today there are many. Backthen, nothing but a grand ideal motivated us-our conviction that Jewishidentity and belief in the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua, must come together. Today, wehave our own buildings, day schools, adult education programs, and quasi-denominationalstructures. In our midst many Jewish people have become faithful followers ofMessiah Yeshua. We have scholars in training at Harvard, Cambridge, Duke, and other world-classuniversities. We have found a measure of favor among a small but growing numberof mainstream Jewish leaders who, sensing the sheer breadth of Jewishorientations worldwide, want to make room for us at the Jewish table. Finally, wehave had a profound impact on an important segment of the Christian Church, theEvangelical community. The Lord has used Messianic Judaism to raise theconsciousness of thousands of Christians to the God-ordained role of theirelder brother, the Jewish people.
However, ourstory is not unambiguously positive. One area of great need is this: to clarifythe identities of men and women, boys and girls in our synagogues. Identityconfusion has been the hallmark of Messianic Judaism, in part because of ourunique claim about Messiah. With that claim has come our union with twohistorically antagonistic communities, the Church and the Jewish people. Sortingout this dual connection is immensely challenging. But if we do not resolve theambiguities, it is hard to imagine that we can build a viable movement thatwill last beyond one or two generations. One thing is clear: We can no longertravel only on the enthusiasm generated by worship, dance, and a "Big Idea."Our people are confused. They don't know who they are because we have notspoken clearly to them. Many inwardly wonder...
"My nameis Rachel Sandler and I'm Jewish. I like going to temple but I end up confusedwhen I go. My Bat Mitzvah is coming up in May, but my Jewish friends at schoolsay our congregation is all wrong and their parents won't let them come. Theysay our rabbi shouldn't have Bar Mitzvahs for kids who aren't Jewish, but theyknow that we do. I kind of agree, because Bat Mitzvah is really a Jewishceremony. But, there are more kids at our Messianic temple who aren't Jewishthan kids who are. And we have Bar Mitzvahs for everyone. I don't want to actlike I'm prejudiced, but it all feels weird. I'm confused about a lot of things.And I'm really sad my best friends from school won't be coming to my BatMitzvah."
"I grewup in Messianic Judaism but frankly, on reflection I think it is such ahodgepodge of confusion that I can't possibly stay in such an environment. Itwas nice when I was a kid, but as a young adult it really makes no sense to meat all. How can I possibly stay? I don't expect any religion to be perfect. I'msurely not perfect. But, I just cannot continue to support a faith which seemsso utterly ambiguous about its very nature. Is it really a Judaism? Is it aChristianity? No one seems to offer clear answers to even such obviousquestions."
Under theright conditions offering conversion can help solve some of the challengesfacing our constituencies and enhance the staying power of our movement. InPart I of this essay we will explore several reasons we believe conversion mustbecome part of Messianic Jewish practice. In Part II I will seek to address anumber of common questions and concerns about the practical outworkings of theconversion process.
What exactly do we mean by"conversion?" Conversion is the means whereby a non-Jew moves fully into thestatus of a Jew among the community of Israel, with all the privileges andresponsibilities accompanying such a fundamental change of religious identity.
Why isthis so important to a maturing Messianic Judaism? I offer three basic reasons:Offering conversion is a matter of integrity, a matter of love and a matterof fidelity to the overarching plan of God as revealed in Scripture.
Let us begin where many MessianicJews agree: Messianic Judaism is indeed a Judaism and not merely a primitiveform of Christianity. When Messianic Jewish leaders wear tefillin and talliseswe make this point. We are a Judaism. When we have Passover Seders-aninstitution not specifically commanded in the Bible-we declare ourselves aJudaism. When we perform marriages under the Huppah, we do so because weclaim to be a Judaism. When we celebrate Rosh Ha Shanah and fast during YomKippur services, we declare ourselves to be a kind of Judaism.
Here iswhere the matter of integrity becomes so central. In our congregations we havelarge numbers of non-Jews. In fact in many Messianic Jewish synagogues, themajority of people are not Jewish. Yet, we invite these good folks toparticipate in any and all aspects of our congregational life, treating them asthough they were Jews. We do so in part because we don't want to hurt thefeelings of people who make large contributions in our congregations. But, anunintended effect of our inclusiveness is that we trivialize our most basicclaims. We inadvertently teach that being Jewish merely means participatingregularly in a Messianic Jewish synagogue! Should others respect a movementwhich so undermines an identity which our grandparents and our ancestors oftendied for?
Orthodox,Conservative and Reform rabbis take an adversarial posture toward MessianicJudaism. Surely our claim that Yeshua is the Messiah accounts for part of thehostility. But are we not partly to blame for the hostility? We are at faultbecause we have so muddled the uniqueness of our calling as Jews that we havenot deserved the respect of the larger Jewish world. Imagine this familiarscene:
A well-intentionednon-Jewish young man dances enthusiastically at a Messianic Jewish conference.He is wearing tsitsit. He had been brought up as a Pentecostal Christian, buthad discovered his "Jewish roots." Are we not aware that the tsitsit are thequintessential symbol of Israel'sfidelity to the covenant God made with us at Sinai? And yet, we say nothing tothe young man. He imagines that, "since he is Messianic," he has a right towear the fringes. Such gross misappropriation of a sacred symbol is not hisfault. It is our fault. I speak particularly to fellow leaders. We have notdisplayed integrity in our service to the Jewish people.
Eventuallythe young man's dance will end. The room will become quiet and he will be leftwith his thoughts. And, if he is a reflective individual he will one day ask thequestion, "Who am I really? Is it this easy to become a Jew?
Historically,our people have understood that premature commitments are easily broken. Thatis, when the music is playing it is easy to be Jewish. But the words of theProphets and our historic experience tell us that pleasant songs will notalways play for us. Through the centuries Jews have been hunted and hated. Willthe young man with the tsitsit dance with us if persecution comes? Willhe continue to want to be a Jew? Such questions can never be answered inadvance, but a process of conversion which is challenging, slow, intentional, andsymbolically rich has been the Jewish people's way of increasing the odds thatthose who wish to take upon themselves the responsibilities and privileges ofJewish life will make a genuine commitment.
