Whyte Highgate V2 Electric Hybrid Bike

Delta Bikes Opinion

The Whyte Highgate is now into V2 for 2022. Firstly, this bike is the compact version (look at the Whyte Clifton V2 for the regular version), this means that the frame has a shorter top tube for a closer reach and shorter wheelbase. This may be a preference for some females or shorter riders who don't want to be as stretched out.

Some people may question the external battery, but it's a very sensible choice - compare this bike with practically any other quality brand on the market, and you will see that it offers truly exceptional value for money. The Shimano STEPS E6100 motor is essentially Shimano's top of the range hybrid motor, offering a lightweight compact unit that produces 60NM of torque which is more than enough for a hybrid application. The external battery also makes swaps effortlessly quick and easy - perfect for high mileage users that may want a second battery or even just to help keep the weight down when lifting the bike into a car, caravan or motorhome.

This bike also comes fully equipped with front and rear mudguards, a smart integrated pannier rack, a kickstand and front and rear lights, further enhancing value.

You should consider this bike if you want a great value hybrid e-bike that will make distance and climbing a breeze and is perfect for leisure or commuting.
