Description Vitus E Mythique LT VRX
Top of the range. Size large. Brand new, still in the box.
Bought from the dying embers of CRC. Intended to use it but have...
I guess you can get warranty direct with Bafang for their components and Rockshox, Suntour, SRAM etc for theirs if you have to.
All Vitus supply is the frame & hubs. I've seen frames for under £200 on eBay already & I've never had a sturdily built alloy frame fail by itself - it's been me...
Well, I pulled the pin & got the VRX for £2430. Along with a spare loom.
I wanted a VR & was gonna upgrade the fork but they'd sold out (at £1800).
I've got Magura MT5s to go on it & some Hope wheels & Maxxis tyres.
I really don't want 12spd so I'll sell the drivetrain along with the wheels...
E Mythique is now 38% or 39% off at CRC.
Plus another 10% off with the code EXTRA10.
So the VRX is now £2430 , the VRS is £2160 and the VR was £1800 but think it's out of stock...
That's really useful. Thanks.
Hadn't thought about the car rack. I take it transporting on the roof is preferable then? (If a bit tougher to load!)
I rode my Bosch CX equipped bike off-road in absolutely torrential rain a few weeks ago & it didn't like it. Showed a battery connection fault...
I wonder if they'll go back to the 30 or 32% off they had?
If not, they're starting to appear on the 2nd hand market.
Who will handle warranty stuff once CRC are gone? Do Bafang have a warranty team in the UK?
Anyone looked at putting a Bafang M560 motor in the E Mythique?
I'm guessing the 48v battery requirement would cause the biggest headache?
Just asking as I have the option of a bare frame.
You missed out heated gloves!
I don't usually get cold hands with normal gloves but in severe temperatures I've used gloves with a little battery pack on the cuffs and heating elements in the fingers & over the back of the hands. Work well.
On my motorcycle I have plug in 12v clothing...
Yeah, of course if you're going really fast then pedalling doesn't come into it.
It's the flowing bike park type trails that aren't that steep where you get the problems especially when you want a bit more speed at certain points.
Kindernay may resurface in a cheaper form if some far Eastern company buys their intellectual property. Who knows?
I don't need an excessive amount of power either. I just want it! 😁
But restriction DOES matter on the downhill. That's the whole point.
You're pedalling down a flowy descent then you hit 15.5mph and the motor cuts out leaving you mashing the pedals on what feels like an oil tanker until the speed drops and the motor cuts in again. Then you pick up speed...
I built an E-MTB during lockdown. An On One Codeine 29er FS with a Tongsheng TSDZ2 750w motor, no speed restrictor and a throttle.
I use it mostly off-road with the very occasional commute or shopping trip (with a trailer).
In addition, I acquired a Haibike XDuro Nduro RX 180mm travel bike...
Bafang have to be thinking about a gearbox motor. It's what I'm waiting for. A fully integrated setup with a belt drive is surely the way ahead? Preferably with 1000w. 😆
I researched the Kindernay hubs long & hard and, whilst they look like a great system, the cost is prohibitive & I understand...

I've seen the Haibike Nduro 7 for £3799 as well as the 8 for £4250 and they're both serious bargains.
The E Mythique is up in price at CRC - are there any bargains elsewhere?
