The Whyte E-180 RS V3 is self-shuttling gravity enduro machine with 170mm travel out back, paired with a 180mm fork and the Bosch system.
One of the best long travel e-bikes on the market. Sublime suspension matched with ultimate control.
In some situations, this much suspension, strength and capability requires some serious manhandling. Could be even better with a 29in front wheel.

Removeable Bosch motor
Balanced feel and dimensions
Weight limits flickability
I’d boost the rear brake rotor size to 220mm

Every inch of the Whyte E-180 RS V1 is trimmed to the bike's downhill performance. Can you even have fun with such a 180 mm travel beast outside of a bike park?
Mountain bike-like handling
Sensible and robust componentry
It won't hold you back
Rudimentary finish
Only two frame sizes
