Whyte revealed the prototype model of its E-Lyte 140 Works electric mountain bike at last week's Eurobike show. The award-winning British bike company which has been at the forefront of making some of the best mountain bikes for over 22 years, says the production E-Lyte downcountry e-MTB is expected to arrive later this year.
There were plenty of lightweight electric mountain bikes around Eurobike including the Scott Dangerholm Lumen, which weighed in at a staggering 12.9kg, and although the E-Lyte 140 Works hasn't had the Dangerholm 'shaving' it comes in at a claimed and a very respectable sub 17kg, which is pretty feathery as far as competing with the best electric mountain bikes that are commercially available goes.
