Had the same, only mine was a rock. Took it to my Lbs who sent it off to whyte for a repair free of charge and a new hanger.
I later realised it had also killed the bearings in the motor.
This is 1000% correct, be very careful what you wish for. Watch what steve has said, yes minister or yes prime minister, you really dont want humphry applying more cost!
If your going for the SWB transporter try and get the one with 3 single rear seats thats the most versatile and with a seat tilted forward the bike will fit with wheels on, if nit get the 1+2 split rear. Also go for a highline, AC, cruise and heated screen, are nice
Yes i think it would, but not sure whether handle bar may hit window or poke over rear seat. Tbh mate i would never put my bike in like that as usually i got other stuff in there. What rear seat have you got?
I have the 2+1 split rear seats and if i tilt the single seat forward my whyte e160 will fit with front wheel on. Otherwise its a no it wont fit. Even with bike on a fork mount as close to tail gate as possible the bike still need to be at an angle to fit with rear seats fully up.
I used the hope rotor with the standard e150 magnet mate. All i had to do was bend the magnet inwards. When you first fit it with the hope rotors, because there is a sunken bit around the bolt holes, as you tighten the bolts it causes the magnet mount to bend outwards. All i did was fully...
Yeah thats the ride, ive done it a couple of times in a clockwise route through newton heath and studland up to old harry then along ridge to corfe but always thought it maybe better doing it in a figure 8 so through heath to dean hill, up to obelisk and then the long down hill to old harry...
Hi guys probs should be in the for sale section, but my workmate has decided to sell his e160s.
He bought it from Heales Cycles in chingford late last year and has returned it to them to sell it, it is pretty much mint with iirc less than 200miles on it. As i have experienced with Heales they...
I was told by my lbs that when in walk mode the motor has to sense an intial push movement to activate it.
So you select walk, hold down the button and give it a littke push and it will start, if you just hold down the button and it doesnt sense any movement it will not activate. Took me a...
Got the mudrocker on my e160 its ok but slaps against tyre on downhill, it not an issue just noisy. Its sits quite close to tyre so likely to have mud clogging issues in winter and wont keep mud off rear pivot. Not seen the new mudhugger, but the old one was fugly but did a better job than the...
Thats a shame mate, they do make great bikes, as others have said they are totally planted going downhill but just as capable going up. I dont think for me there is another brand that i would even entertain.
Had my 150rs nearly 3 years, done naerly 6000 miles on it, iirc i think im on my 3rd cassette and probably 6 chains, on its 2nd motor, x2 headsets, x1 main pivot kit. Changed fork travel to 160 and shape it up link on back, frame bearings been changed once. Now got a DVO topaz shock. Also Hope...
