Newbie here, and have trawled the forum for comments on the Whyte but can’t find much comment or review of it, but they are both now around the £5k figure and both seem to get completely different reviews due to the motor and cadence needed on the Bosch SX system.

Spec wise, the Whyte seems good and UK resilient. But discounted Treks do come with lots of bells and whistles.

Anyone compared both or have any feedback on the Whyte ?

Thanks!

lots of reviews of the E lyte on Youtube......you will not find a bad one.
 
I agree, all pretty good reviews, but all seem to caveat the opinion with the spinny nature of the motor and the freewheeling rattle. I know no system is perfect, but it’s the high cadence that seems to be an outlier in current motor technology. So I was after some real world feedback from someone who had one.

As an owner of a fuel exe you'll definitely need high cadence on the TQ motor too.

The Bosch is more powerful than the TQ. If you weigh over 85kgs +/- and ride decent hills then I'd go the Whyte
 
To update this thread, I bought a Canyon Neuron: Onfly.

Seems an incredible bargain at £3,900, and after two rides I’m really pleased with it and genuinely cannot understand the clamour for more and more power. This thing climbs brilliantly, and the SX motors pulls like a steam train.
