WhyteELyte 150 RSX
e-mtb
01
Origin
The ELyte range (launched 2023) was Whyte's pivot toward the lightweight e-MTB segment — a response to the growing market for e-bikes that feel closer to pedal bikes. The ELyte 150 RSX uses a carbon mainframe and seatstays to minimise weight, and the Bosch Performance SX motor (55Nm, not 85Nm) deliberately delivers a more natural, less 'assisted' feel. The 400Wh battery is smaller than the 750Wh on the E-160, but at 18.9 kg the ELyte 150 is dramatically more manageable on technical terrain and portaging situations.

The verdict
+Strengths
- 18.9 kg makes it the most manageable Whyte e-MTB for technical terrain and portaging
- Bosch SX 55Nm motor delivers natural, trail-bike-feel assistance that doesn't overwhelm
- Carbon frame construction and proprietary TeXtreme carbon rims are rare at this weight/price point
−Weaknesses
- 400Wh battery limits range compared to 625Wh or 750Wh competitors — requires more frequent charging
- 55Nm torque is noticeably less powerful than 85Nm CX bikes on steep climbs
- RockShox Lyrik Select+ (not Ultimate) is one step below top-spec for a premium e-MTB price
