Hi guys
I finally bit the bullet and ordered an ebike. I always said I wasn't going to do it but now most of my mates have them I'm finding excuses not to ride rather than get out and have fun.
I've got the long wait now until mid December (hopefully) ?.
I went for the Whyte e-160 RS and I hoping it's as good as I've heard. Any advice on setup, general care and things to look out for with it are always appreciated.
Cheers
Ashley

A magnificent choice if I may say.

I’ve the 160-s on order, mostly as I prefer Rockshox over Fox.. having used both for many years.

Thanks for the replies guys, I can't wait for it to arrive now.

I someone posted a link to the review and I watched it yesterday. I was getting fed up with waiting for it to arrive and very nearly changed my order but after watching the review it has cemented my decision to stick with it.
Luckily I can charge it in the garage too so no big issue removing that battery all the time.

I've got the same bike ..its a pita having to wait ..I had a 6 week wait myself ..but worth every second once you get your mitts on it ..I had the T130rs prior to this so I was already a big Whyte fan-boy ..but this bike has completely exceeded all expectations .

So I've just had an email to say my bike (due mid december) is going to be delayed until mid/end january?
Do any of you wonderful people happen to know of any shops that may have one available? I don't really want to wait that long if I can help it?

I think it might be wishful thinking, but who knows, maybe someone knows of one!

I was in Wheelbase Staveley a couple of weeks back getting my first service done and they had a small & a Large on display ..not sure if they were spoken for though ..
They also offer 0% ..if thats of interest ?

 

[Crashley84]

Almost certainly wishful thinking?
Definitely needing IFC especially at this price.

Nice bike to choose. Waiting is the hardest part!
