Great to be able to buy these kits from a UK company. All parts required are provided, and all fitted and running in a few hours. Made a massive difference to my old mountain bike. Very good customer... See more

Cyclotricity Have Gone Into Liquidation

Whilst researching eBikes and their manufacturers, I looked at the Cyclotricity offerings currently available online. Having then researched the company itself, I became aware that Cyclotricity had commenced the liquidation process on the 1st May 2025. This was as a result of actions taken by the companies creditors. All of these details are available on the Companies House UK government website.

Dear Miss O'Connor, you had purchased the following bike which clearly states a front wheel isn't included - hence the 80% discount:

We'd be most grateful if this could be changed to a fairer review.

250W front wheel kit, 19ah battery

I bought a 250W front wheel kit with a 19ah battery. I paid my local bike shop £60 to fit it (the 19ah battery is large and heavy so I wanted an extra hole drilling in the frame to make the mounting more secure, they also routed the kit's cables internally so it looked nice and tidy.

I bought the cyclotricity kit on the bike shop's recommendation when I was replacing a 2 yr old Swytch kit. The Swytch kit had been reliable and was a good product but after 2 yrs of daily use the battery was inevitably losing some range. I considered just buying a new, larger capacity Swytch battery but my bike mechanic talked me into getting a Cyclotricity replacement. He uses them a lot and says they are very reliable. I'm glad I got it!! The Swytch kit is good but is much more expensive, has lower range per £ spent and takes a lifetime to arrive (unless you are willing to pay a lot of money for faster delivery) By contrast, the cyclotricity kit arrived within 5 days (my swytch kit took 9 months!)

So far it has covered me over 1,500 miles and has not had a single problem. (Occasionally, after cleaning my bike, the pedal sensor needs pushing back into place if I've knocked it while cleaning)
It gets very heavy use; 15 mile round trip to work and daily rides of approx 15 miles for fun. I ride it in all weathers including very heavy rainfall.
The 19ah battery is highly recommended. If I have it on the lowest setting it gets over 100 miles between charges. On level 2 or 3 (with occasional short goes on level 5 as a treat) the range is approx 60 miles. I am very heavy, so smaller riders will get much more!

I would definitely recommend the kit to anyone considering getting one.

The staff at Cyclotricity were very helpful with some technical questions I had when I was deciding whether or not to buy the kit.

I received my bicycles without problems. I think I got good value for the money that I spent. From ordering to delivery took 7 days, which I think is reasonable for a small company.

I have seen they have mixed reviews, but for me, the customer service was excellent, which means they are working towards a better customer experience.

Great value cycle

When I first saw the advert for a hybrid cycle for under £100 I thought there has to be big catch. But no, it states you get no front wheel, yes but when it arrived ever thing else is there . You just need a bare front disc brake wheel . It came very well packed and all things like tools, peddles, front disc, wheel tape .Aluminium frame and rear carrier.

250w Front Wheel conversion

The kit is really easy to fit and is great quality. I had one small issue with the LCD Dashboard, but Elaine diagnosed the problem within an hour or two, it was my fault all along for bending a connector pin. I straightened it out and it all works perfectly. I’m really happy with my converted bike! My commute is now enjoyable and I catch myself smiling as I’m cycling into work.

Straightforward conversion

Conversion was straightforward and when I finally got around to getting the derestrict codes they were very helpful. It's good that I can swap from normal to deristricted and back as I only need derestricted occasionally.
It was appreciated that help was still there even though the support person had been hospitalised.
