Whyte improves the performance of its mid-travel electric trail bike with centre of gravity research
Calm and composed
Intuitive feel that’s easy to ride
Fun in tighter terrain
Hides its weight well
Sorted spec
Chain-slap noise
Bottle cage mount positioning
A steeper seat tube angle would improve climbing performance

Whyte’s 29er Trail e-MTB gets more travel, a 750Wh battery, and Bosch smarts but has it kept its outstanding handling?
Superbly poised handling balance
Exceptional suspension performance
Big 750Wh battery
Bosch Smart System tech
Excellent aggro spec
Fully weatherproofed
Expensive for an alloy-framed bike
Kiox 300 head unit is an extra upgrade
No mullet version of the RSX

Building on the success of the E-150, Whyte have launched new Whyte E-160, and it's even more capable. Bosch Gen 4 motor and Fox 38 fork lead the charge.
Hits the ride and handling sweet spot.
Getting the battery out is a pain.
