Thanks for replies everyone, some good points and info

Hi Guys, some help/advice please. So, thinking of a ebike hardtail ideally but mostly for commuting which is a bit hilly and will take me through a few parks, with access to some singletrack, probably 70/30 road/gravel/offroad stuff - ideally want it to save me a bit of time on 10 mile each way...

great thread and some advice if possible please - I've got a whyte e160 and it's a great bike - I'm thinking of a spec keveno sl - I like really techy climbs, and downs - normally ride everywhre on the whyte in trail mode - Would a kenevo SL be OK for the type of riding I like? I had a very...

Thanks for link - from those stats probably makes more sense with another 625w - not much difference in weight between that and the 500 - Shame Whyte havent built in a piggyback system

Hello, does anyone know ifa smaller battery and how small will fit into an E160s?? Currently has the 625wh Bosch but for big days outI could do with a bit more, not sureI fancy another 625 as I will have to carry it around with me, was thinking of 300 ish?? cheers Mo

perfect - thanks for the reply.

Hi Guys, can anyone tell me if when having the firmware upgraded with tour+ - Does this show as "tour+" on the display or does it just say tour? I've just had it upgraded from local shop but when I got it home it's just showing "tour"?? cheers Mo

Thanks for the replies everyone - all very useful and helpful. I dont really want to spend the money on upgrading and would rather try and make them work so I'll take all the above and see how I get on. @RustyMTB - when you say you "advanced" the pistons ? how did you do that please? thanks...

Yeah, tried that, they are ok at the start but when I'm into the ride and looking at coming down a long decent they just feel vague and I dont have any confidence in them really. I think because the bike is heaver than analogue I'm braking a lot more in advance and for longer. When I've...

Hi Guys, Whyte E160S - it come with SRAM Guide RE 4 pot - I'm finding them pretty spongy and vague on long downhills - and well I need brakes I can trust especially being a very average rider :) so I'm thinking of the Hope tech3/e4 brakes as I've tried a mates non ebike with them and they feel...

Thanks for info - great help. Also if anyone has any good gpx files they want to send me dont be shy ;) cheers Mo

Is there enough at Ikley for a full day do you know?? I've been trying to find a few routes etc but nothing showing up, found a trails on trailforks but only a few short ones..

Looks like a great place to ride - anyone know the trail/route?

Good to hear - I'm similar re the drops and also want a bit more support for the faster rocky downhill sections - pity I have to work this week as I might not get a chance to test until next weekend now!! - Need to invest in some decent lights now :)

Wasnt sure myself if the extra for the RS and Fox was going to be worth it - TBH I'm glad I stuck with the S as I'm more than please with the Rockshox - faster colour as well always helps ;) Yep comes with 2 from factory - I've added one of the spares and going to be doing to comparison next...
