The 2024 Whyte E-160 RS Full Suspension Electric Mountain Bike has the capability to help you conquer everything from trail to e-enduro, or adventure. With its award-winning and confidence-inspiring Total Geometry handling, trail-proven parts, large 750Wh battery and high performance Bosch Performance Line CX 85Nm motor, on the E-160 RS you will truly be able to turn up the fun on every trail.

Whyte's Total Geometry approach gives the E-160 RS a generous reach, reassuring head angle and short offset fork, making it the most confidence-inspiring, nimble e-bike they’ve ever made. They’ve also given the E-160 a rock-bottom centre of gravity by optimising the distribution of the battery and motor mass within the chassis. So you can expect exceptional cornering agility and a planted feel on even the choppiest terrain. You can also adjust the bike's geometry using its Shape.It Link ‘flip-chip’ geometry adjust (switchable from the stock 'High' setting to 'Low' to slacken the bike out by 0.6 degrees and lower the bottom bracket by 8mm) for even more gravity-focused handling.

The E-160 RS comes with a curated parts list that maximises the performance bang for your buck where it really counts: SRAM GX T-Type AXS 1x12 wireless electronic gearing, Maxxis tyres, feedback-rich SRAM Code R four-piston brakes, and more. Plus own custom-tuned suspension from Fox has also been meticulously tuned and tested to deliver you outstanding, ground-hugging grip with the support you need to right out of the box.

This bike is perfect for

Mountain bikers who want the award winning geometry and handling that Whyte are known for combined with reliable power from Bosch and a huge 750WH battery for all-day riding.

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.

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.
