Whyte E-Lyte 150 RSX V1 Electric Bike

Fast, light and powerful

The E-Lyte 150 RSX delivers the very best lightweight, natural mountain bike handling and ride feel together with the capability of full-fat electric mountain bikes (eMTBs). At just 18.9kg (size M) with 55Nm of torque, 600W of peak power, and 400Wh of battery, it packs the power to do it all: the climb, the singletrack, the all-day epic, the home trail hot laps, the drop-ins, the descents, the tech and the climbs back out.

Features

• 150mm front + 142mm rear of custom-tuned suspension travel.
• Uni-directional carbon fibre frame is light and reassuringly strong.
• Bosch Performance Line SX mid-torque (55Nm), full power (600W) motor.
• 400Wh internal battery.
• 29er wheels front and rear for balanced handling.

Pitch perfect parts

The E-Lyte 150 RSX is dressed in a curated parts list of trail-proven, real-world kit that will serve you brilliantly both now and for the long haul: SRAM GX T-Type AXS 1x12 wireless electronic gearing, Maxxis tyres, feedback-rich SRAM Code Bronze four-piston brakes, and more. Our own custom-tuned suspension from RockShox has also been meticulously tuned to deliver you outstanding, ground-hugging grip with the support you need to right from your first pedal stroke.

E-Lyte 150 RSX: fast, light and powerful.

Beautifully light, reassuringly strong

The beating heart of the E-Lyte 150 RSX is an all-new, lightweight yet strong carbon fibre chassis that carefully packages Bosch's light and powerful Performance Line SX mid-torque (55Nm), full power (600W) motor – and the 400Wh internal battery – seamlessly so you can fly under the radar as stealthily as you'll fly down the trails. We've also carefully positioned the lower 750ml water bottle mount – which also mounts the aftermarket Bosch PowerMore range extender (sold seperately) – as low in the frame as possible to optimise the bike's centre of gravity and deliver an exceptional handling bike.

Your bike, your way

We’ve engineered the E-Lyte 150 RSX to give you the option to set it up and ride it as you want. Want to run a bottle, or even two? The frame has two bottle positions: a lower for a full 750ml bottle (using the included bottle cage adaptor), and a higher Fidlock position for a smaller 400ml bottle (on sizes M-XL). Or you can use the Fidlock mounts for tool or tube mounting (all sizes). Want to slacken the geometry out? The ‘Shape.it Link V2’ geometry adjustment lets you change between the stock high to its low setting for a lower, slacker geometry for more downhill grins. Want to pedal further? Keep it in its higher, more all-day ride-friendly position. Want more battery? The E-Lyte 150 RSX is compatible with Bosch’s 250Wh PowerMore range extender (sold seperately) – that mounts in the lower bottle boss position – to give you a total battery capacity of 650Wh for bigger days on the hills.

Engineered for the best – and worst – conditions

We’ve designed, tested and proven every E-Lyte in our native UK, riding all year round through the best and the worst weathers, and have added a whole host of touches that will keep you riding sweeter and for longer. Things such as: a fully weather-sealed seat-clamp gaiter, and sealed cable and hose ports to keep the water out; positioning the charge port at the base and to the front of the seat tube out of the firing line of the rear wheel spray; clearance for up to 2.5in tyres between the seat and chainstays to prevent mud and gunk slowing you down; Phosphate-coated and marine grease packed pivot bearings to maximise pivot bearing service life; as well as frame protection on the lower downtube and chainstay to keep the frame in great shape, and much more.
