@Jonnymac seems like you've been waiting a long time :O bet your missus will be glad to get rid of you
Heyy, picked up my Whyte E160 s and loving it so far. Only 3 rides down but so addicting! No issues yet other than a rattly sound from motor over real bumpy terrain, be interested to hear of other people who ride Whytes experienced with noisy motors. Cheeers,

Here's my experiences after 550 miles hat might be helpful for you
I get a rattle noise but only when I hit like 15.5mph sounds almost like rattling metal plates? I'm not sure if it's the motor or the front brake disc though.
my front disc was zinging pretty bad from the store, I had to try and recentre the calliper 3x before it finally went silent but it still rubs ever so slightly. so I don't know if it's the motor or the front disc rattling at high speed.
The chain that comes with the bike lasts for around 550-600 miles I just changed mine at 550 upgrading to an XX1 chain that should last 4x as long.
Jockey wheel bearings still fine at 550miles, repacked the bearings in both with grease but they did look clean anyway ( both jockey wheels are full bearings btw not crappy bushings)
actual jockey wheels looked band new once cleaned, probably only worth checking every 12 months.
chain started jumping around on the cassette at 400 miles ish from chain stretch on the gear cable.
just rotate the barrel adjuster counter clockwise slowly until it goes through the whole gear range again and that is the small sweet spot [only a tiny tension window where it will go from the smallest cog to the tallest]
My tyres are still looking good.
I had a slight knocking sound when lifting the bike up by the top tube just as the rear wheel left the ground, tightened the t25 torx bolts mounting the rear suspension to the frame up to 5nm and it went away.
if you need to raise the dropper post higher out the frame for long legs and it won't pull up then you need to remove the battery as it seems to snag the cable.
Rear maxxle on mine worked it self loose by a few rotations, so keep an eye on both of those.
0 punctures so far running with tubes like the bike came.
btw with the chain off and turning the cranks my motor still feels butter smooth
Bosch
really expensive though.
it is noticeable at first but you soon start to ignore it
