The 2022 Whyte E-506 Hybrid Electric Bike is a super-versatile, multi-role bike which takes a big leaf out of Whyte’s MTB design book. With Whyte trail geometry for sure-footed mountain bike handling - exactly what you need in traffic when your panniers are fully loaded.

Like its off-road cousins, the E-506 uses a class-leading Bosch system with the exceptional Performance Line CX Drive Unit, providing all the assistance you need to flatten out your ride and power-up your commute.

The 35mm stanchion RockShox 35 Silver front fork and 4 piston Tektro brakes mean comfort and control. These quality off-road developed parts improve your ride whether you’re cutting across town, making a trip to the shops or taking an off-road short-cut home. The E-506 is ready for everything.

Key Features

  • Mountain bike inspired geometry
  • Bosch Performance Line CX motor and 500wh battery
  • RockShox 35 Silver suspension fork

Electric Bike Updates and Diagnostics

As electric bikes have become more sophisticated it’s important to stay on top of updates. Just like your home computer or smart phone regular updates are now released for most electric bike systems. If you buy a bike from Cycles UK we will do electric bike updates and diagnostics you need free of charge.

Electric Bike Updates

Electric bike updates can help to improve battery life, tweak how the motor works and fix bugs and problems. Most systems will require you to plug your bike into some specialist software at an authorised dealer. At Cycles UK we are authorised dealers for top electric bike brands including Specialized, Trek, Orbea, Whyte, Cannondale and Raleigh. As a result our stores have the software and hardware to run updates on all the major electric bike systems including Bosch, Shimano and Ebikemotion.

Free Electric Bike Updates and Diagnostics

We now provide free updates and diagnostics for life on any electric bike purchased from Cycles UK.

Electric Bike Motors Explained

Electric bikes have really come into their own in the last couple of years. Thanks to advances in electric bike motors and batteries. A couple of bike manufacturers, most notably Specialized, are making their own electric bike motors. The vast majority of bike companies are using the same motors. So, you will find exactly the same electric motor being used on bikes from different brands and at different price points. In this guide, we’ll take you through the main types of electric bike motors. Look at the differences between the most commonly used brands.

Electric Bike Hub Motors vs Mid-Drive Motors

Electric bikes tend to either come with a hub motor or a mid-drive motor. Mid-drive motors sit where the cranks and bottom bracket are on a bike and drive the cranks and chain around. Hub drive motors sit in the middle of the wheel and drive the wheel directly. Hub drive electric bikes are cheaper but less efficient, and less smooth, to ride.
