WHYTE E-180 RS V3
£7,250 / 27.5 in / whyte.bike
As Whyte’s longest-travel electric mountain bike, the E-180 is optimised to handle the toughest terrain. That’s not to say it’s entirely downhill-focused, but it doesn’t take long with the powerful Gen 4 Bosch motor to rack up enough trails to realise this machine is most at home hammering down steep tracks before powering back up for another hot lap.
Self-shuttling enduro bike, then? You bet. The full-alloy frame has a massive down tube to house the 625Wh battery, while the E-180’s modern enduro geometry means a sub-64° head angle and roomy reach that stretches to 505mm on the XL size. And, typically for the UK brand, the BB is really low slung, at 335mm, and is paired to (short for an e-bike) 444mm chainstays.
