WHYTE RHeO 2
A lightweight city and trekking e-bike with a quiet Bosch Hub Line rear motor (45 Nm) and an integrated 360 Wh battery. It offers a natural riding experience, low weight, and responsive assistance for everyday commutes to work and leisurely weekend trips.
Description
The Whyte RHeO 2 is a lightweight e-bike designed for city riding and trail riding, weighing as little as 17.4 kg, and looks like a classic bike at first glance. The discreet Bosch Hub Line motor (45 Nm) in the rear wheel, combined with an integrated 360 Wh battery, provides natural assistance and a range of up to 72 km. Equipped with Shimano Cues 1x9, Tektro hydraulic brakes, a Quadlock mount, and integrated lights, it’s perfect for both daily commuting and leisure rides.
Integrated Quad Lock Phone Mount
The stem features a built-in Quad Lock mount. You can securely snap your phone into it (after purchasing a compatible case), keeping your navigation and ride data right in front of you at all times.
Connection to the Bosch eBike Flow app
The Bosch eBike Flow app turns your phone into an on-board computer. It lets you monitor your range, navigate your route, automatically update the firmware, and record all your rides in the background.
Approved for use on bike paths and light terrain
The Whyte e-bike falls into Category 2—Cross/Trekking—and is therefore designed for riding on roads, paved bike paths, and natural or gravel surfaces. The design is tailored for recreational use, during which the wheels may briefly lift off the ground, with jumps limited to 15 cm.
The Sophisticated Total Geometry Concept
Whyte draws on its experience in mountain bike development in the Total Geometry concept. The combination of specific angles and fork offset delivers excellent stability at higher speeds as well as agile handling in city traffic.
Whyte RHeO 2 – A lightweight and agile companion for everyday city riding and trips
Forget about traffic jams, crowded public transit, and searching for parking. This lightweight city and touring e-bike, weighing as little as 17.4 kg, combines the clean design of a standard bicycle with modern electric assistance. It’s designed for active riders looking for a nimble, natural, and reliable mode of transportation for daily commutes to work and weekend rides on paved roads.
Smooth and quiet assistance is provided by the Bosch Hub Line motor integrated into the rear hub, with 45 Nm of torque and a peak power output of 400 W. Power is supplied by the Bosch PowerTube 360 battery, concealed within the frame, with a capacity of 360 Wh, which provides a range of 33 to 72 km and charges in 3.5 hours. The bike uses the Bosch Smart System with an intuitive Bosch LED Controller, connectivity to the eBike Flow app, and the option to extend the range by 60% using a Bosch PowerMore 250 Wh auxiliary battery.
The frame is a lightweight, hydroformed 6061 T6 aluminum frame with internal cable routing, a lifetime warranty, and a rigid aluminum fork with a 12mm thru-axle. Reliable shifting is provided by a nine-speed Shimano Cues groupset with an 11–46-tooth cassette, while safe stopping is ensured by Tektro M3120 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors. A fast and comfortable ride on both asphalt and gravel is guaranteed by 28" ( 700c) wheels fitted with Maxxis Reaver 700 x 45c tires, complemented by a Whyte Custom saddle, a Whyte 6061 seatpost, 720mm handlebars, and a 60mm stem with an integrated Quadlock phone mount. Integrated lighting is also included as standard equipment.
Overall, this model is the ideal choice for those who demand a lightweight bike, easy handling, and a natural riding experience without unnecessary resistance. It’s perfect for dynamic riding through city traffic, on bike paths, and for light touring.

The Bosch Hub Line drive unit (BDU306Y) is the ideal choice for lightweight city and fitness e-bikes, combining an extremely low weight of 2.3 kg with optimal peak power of up to 400 W and torque of 45 Nm. With responsive, instantaneous assistance, a sleek design integrated directly into the rear wheel hub, and a maximum speed of 25 km/h, it ensures a smooth riding experience without any resistance when pedaling and without excessive chain wear. The motor is equipped with advanced features such as Hill Hold to prevent rolling backward on hills and an automatic “Auto” mode; thanks to its integration with the eBike Flow app, it offers state-of-the-art digital security and wireless updates.
Bosch PowerTube 360 Battery
The Bosch PowerTube 360 is the slimmest integrated battery in the Bosch lineup, and thanks to its minimalist design, it blends seamlessly with the e-bike’s frame. With a capacity of 360 Wh (9.7 Ah) and a weight of approximately 2.1 kg, it offers the ideal balance for city riding and a reliable range of over 80 km. It is fully compatible with the Bosch Smart System platform and supports DualBattery technology (an additional second battery) to extend the range.
Charging with the 4A Charger takes 1.2 hours to reach 50% and 3.2 hours to reach 100%; with the 2A Charger, it takes 2.5 hours to reach 50% and 5.7 hours to reach 100%.
Bosch LED Controller
The Bosch LED Controller is the minimalist heart of your e-bike. Thanks to its ultra-compact design—which is 65% smaller than its predecessor—it frees up space on your handlebars without sacrificing full control. The controller offers intuitive control of riding modes, excellent readability thanks to an ambient light sensor, and an integrated USB-C port that lets you charge your phone directly from the e-bike’s battery. A clean look, top-notch ergonomics, and smart technology—all in one package.
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). The paint, graphics, and other components are covered by a 1-year warranty.
To obtain the extended frame warranty, online registration is required within 28 days of purchase.
The warranty is non-transferable, and to be valid, the bike must be used in accordance with its designated category, professionally assembled by an authorized dealer, and maintained regularly. The warranty is void in the event of racing, modifications, accidents resulting from a fall, or repainting of the frame.
Whyte is an iconic British brand founded by former Formula 1 engineer Jon Whyte, who brought cutting-edge engineering expertise and the holistic Whyte Total Geometry concept to the world of cycling. This innovative approach to perfectly balancing angles, the center of gravity, and components gives Whyte e-bikes exceptional stability, precise handling, and a feeling of absolute confidence even on the most challenging terrain in any weather—a fact further underscored by the lifetime warranty on the frame and rear suspension bearings.
