I have multiple ebike kits, tried them all. My personal favorite is the E-Switchy Electric Bike Kit www.eswitchybikes.com Here's why:

Customer service - is extremely professional, they answer calls and emails right away.

Quality - is Excellent! Decent power to go over mostly any hill, I am 180LB and enjoy going on some trails, more than enough power to get me over the hill. Battery lasts a long time many hours of riding over trails. Pretty fast too! I get about 28mph on pedal assist, throttle power only is a bit less. The kit is pretty light it's about 14LBS with all accessories so I don't feel much difference in weight from my original bike to my newly converted ebike, can still pick the bike up with one hand and loaded on my truck.

Warranty - I had a small issue with the controller they send me a new one right away, within a few days I was back on the road.

After sale services - I am old school and I needed help with the setup. I talked to one of their tech guys and he helped me set up the parameters like bike weight, rider weight etc to get the most accurate performance. Pretty cool

Supportive of a good cause - That's my favorite part, they support a cancer foundations. On their website it states from every sale they donate an amount to a cancer foundation, you don't see that often from businesses.

Conclusion, for me it is worth the investment. I love my bike and couldn't be happier with the E-Switchy product. Happy Customer and would recommend. If anyone interested check them out www.eswitchybikes.com

Is it really that simple? Looking at the Switch One, it says
"Replace the front wheel to convert your bike into an electric bicycle" Apparently this is possible because it has an Integrated motor, battery, and control module all in one wireless wheel.

That leaves the display and throttle which apparently are (free) accessories. I assume the wiring for both are included.

Will the 250W motor really get you up hills and the 5.8 Ah battery get 55 miles on a charge? I'm in Florida; so I'm really more worried about range than hills?

I see they have a 20" model, which is what I need for my Dahon mu P8 bike.

I’ve tried the Switch One, and yes, it really is that simple. Swapping out the front wheel transforms your bike into an e-bike in under 10 minutes. Everything is integrated into the wheel like the motor, battery, and control module, so it’s super clean and straightforward.

As for the display and throttle, there’s no wiring whatsoever! The LCD display works wirelessly via Bluetooth, and it’s super convenient. I only need to charge the display about once every six months, so you don’t have to worry about it often.

The 250W motor performs great. I’m in a fairly flat area, but I’ve tackled some inclines with no issues, it provides solid assist. In Florida, where it’s mostly flat, you should be more than fine. Regarding range, I’ve come close to 50 miles on a single charge using pedal assist, so with your terrain, you could likely hit the full 55 miles or more if you’re not using full throttle all the time as you get more range using pedal assist function vs throttle function!

It’s awesome that they have a 20” model for your Dahon Mu P8. That bike is a great match for the Switch One. You’ll love it! Customer support is on point, best in the industry no doubt.

Looking at my post again, I see I was talking about the E-switchy, not the Switch. Looking at my post again, I see I also mixed up the e-switchy with the switch.

In any event, measuring the distance between the front forks on the Dahon Mu p8 is much smaller than that required by the various e-switchy's. So I bought a full fledged ebike.

Thanks for you attempt to help.
 
I saw your message and wanted to share my experience. I own a Dahon Mu, and the E-Switchy - Switch One model fit just fine on it. I was also told that the Switch Two and Switch Three models would work perfectly as well.

Here’s a photo of my bike with the Switch One installed.

I hope this helps clear up any confusion about compatibility. If you’re still considering it, I’d say go for it, it's been a great upgrade for me!

I recently converted my tandem bike into an e-bike using the E-Switchy Switch Three model (battery located under the front seat) and I’m seriously impressed. I was a little unsure at first if it would work well with a tandem, but the install was easier than I expected, and the results have been awesome. The motor has plenty of power, even with two riders, my heavy bag with tools on my rear rack and going up hills that used to be a struggle are now effortless. The battery life has been solid so far, I feel like I can go forever on this thing even with the additional weight because we go for long rides and the battery remains almost full! That's a lot of riding, my wife and I we just ride a few miles and it's plenty with lots of battery life left. I really like that I was able to keep my existing bike instead of spending a ton on a new e-bike. If anyone is thinking about converting their bike, I’d definitely recommend checking out E-Switchy. It’s made a huge difference in how often I ride and how much I enjoy it. a HUGE plus for me that it has both pedal assist function as well as throttle powered, which is pretty awesome! This company truly has the best customer service you will ever encounter.

Now that’s gotta be fun. I have hit 40mph on my analog tandem with two strong riders. I can’t imagine the speeds you could get to with an unrestricted e-tandem. Lol
