Carbon fibre
E-bikes that use carbon fiber are a common choice among amateur and professional cyclists. Previously, it was mainly road e-bikes, but today you can enjoy the benefits of carbon on almost any type of e-bike. It remains an ideal choice among lovers of fast driving and off-road driving. The main advantage of e-bikes with a carbon frame is exceptional shock and vibration damping, they resist corrosion and wear very well and, compared to other materials, they excel in their low weight.
Avinox M2S
A high-performance motor with 130 Nm of torque (150 Nm in Boost mode), a peak power output of 1500 W, and a lightweight design (2.59 kg). The second generation features flat-wire winding for higher efficiency, quiet helical gearing, and Dual Gear Engagement technology, which eliminates rattling during descents without assistance. Internal resistance has been reduced by 41%, ensuring a natural ride even with a depleted battery. Integrated sensors enable adaptive power control based on cadence and riding conditions. Intelligent electronics ensure lightning-fast pedal response and smooth power delivery that will support you even on the most demanding terrain.

An intelligent health management system ensures long lifespan, retaining up to 80% capacity after 500 cycles. GaN fast charging recharges the 800 Wh battery to 75% in just 1.5 hours.
Avinox DPC100 Display
A smart 2" OLED touchscreen integrated into the frame with a high resolution of 326 ppi and 800 nits of brightness, which automatically adjusts to the surroundings.

Whyte Lifetime Warranty
Whyte offers first owners an extended lifetime warranty on the frame (for models from 2025 purchased on or after November 1, 2024) and on the rear triangle pivot bearings. The standard warranty without registration is 2 years. E-bike drivetrains come with a standard 2-year warranty (for batteries, limited to 500 charge cycles).
