Show us your Whyte bits

[Tribey]

Out today on South Dartmoor. Here we are at Three Barrows trig, the usual 360 view lost in the low cloud.

Here’s my Whyte E-160 S.

Changed the WTB tyres after first ride. Next up is upgrading the forks to a Charger 2.1 damper and possibly 170mm air shaft.

How do you find the Michelins perform?.

 

[gogsie]

Here is my new E180, 2 small rides in so far but loving it. Managed to scrape the bottom of the frame below the motor striking out so i've fitted a Rockguardz carbon guard.
Looking to upgrade the Purion for a Kiox, anyone attempted this?.

was the rockguardz tricky to fix? I grounded on the same point a couple of times and was looking for a neat solution. Can you provide the link for the item you bought?
cheers

2 mins in a sink of hot water and it slipped on no problem.

The RockGuardZ Real Carbon Fibre Frame protector is a lightweight, super strong, attractive product designed to protect the vulnerable section of your MTB frame just behind the front wheel where rock stikes and debris flung of the front tyre is most likel

I really like them. Not the best in really thick mud as they don’t clear very well but for almost everything else it’s hard to fault them. I understand now why so many people use them.

I've just done the Kiox upgrade on my e-160s, I'm trying to remember where I posted some notes on! If you want to message me I give you some tips.

No trig points on the coast, so not sure if I'm allowed to post this

The snow looks lovely, but the mud makes life more interesting. I have been able to go places today where on a normal peddle bike you would have given up and gone home ?

That’s the joy of an Ebike ?

Late to the Whyte Bits party but here’s my trig point photo from my first night ride........ Beacon Hill

 

[Shane’o’Mac]

clocked 39.7mph on way down...... how accurate is the Purion?

 

[Geetsrevoel]

My E-160RS

 

[Rahr85]

clocked 39.7mph on way down...... how accurate is the Purion?

i reckon it's fairly accurate give or take 10% like most things. I've had high 30's going down crazy steep roads which feels about right given i couldn't pedal any faster.

 

[Clubby]

I find it slightly overeads compared to my Garmin gps (on two different devices) but not by a lot. At round 15mph it’s about 1mph out but not checked at higher speeds. Don’t think you’ll have been far off.

Here’s mine, getting built ready for delivery next week.

Ppf, upgraded bars, proper pedals and upgrade to the Bosch Kiox is being done this week. Can’t wait!

sweet ride. Especially like the wheel reflectors - v important.
Hate the way the bike is hung from the dropper in the workstand. Not a criticism of the shop, but a limitation of the workstands available. I have a more satisfactory solution (IMO) I'll share with you all at some point.
Hope you love the bike. Pray for dry weather to enjoy it to the max.

Yeah the first thing I said is get those f***ing reflectors off!!! He said they automatically remove those, the plastic thing behind the rear sprocket, and all the stickers on the discs. I asked them to remove the made in Taiwan sticker too!

I was out today on my Cube, and am tempted to hang onto that now until the weather sorts itself out!

 

[Wilko58]

Don't forget the frame size sticker too!

Oh yes, that’s coming off!

 

[EebStrider]

Has anyone fitted a bigger skid plate to their bike? I’d like to protect the bottom of the bike from tree stumps etc.

I’ve done a search online, but couldn’t find anything.

Only thing I found was the Rockguardz carbon fibre downtube/motor protector WHYTE - ROCKGUARDZ
It says e-150 & e-180 but does fit the e-160 too.

Yeah that looks a bit pants. I've got a smaller one on my Cube, which does the trick. I didn't know if anyone had found a metal bash plate anywhere??

there was a photo on a thread that I came across which showed a trials rider with aluminium bash plate on an E150. Looked like he'd made it himself and used the down tube bolt to fix it in place.

I've not found any. I've not looked closely but maybe due to a lack of attachment points?

Yeah I think I saw that too. hopefully the guy that did it will see this!

New to the forum, here's a photo of my 2020 Whyte E150S almost 2000 miles in, few upgrades been purchased and now waiting on a Hope Fortus 30 rear wheel.
