Uncompromising performance
No short cuts, no half measures. Just the best performance and parts blended to deliver you an exceptional ride.
Made to last
Engineered for longevity and reliability to stay on the trail – and out of the workshop – for longer.
Lean, mean, fun machine
No matter how time-crunched life gets,
ELyte EVO will let you maximise your ride time.
Ride farther, faster
Cover more ground than previously possible in the same time when riding an analogue/non-electric mountain bike. ELyte EVO let’s you go farther and explore more trails, more easily, so you can expand your riding horizons.
Use Bosch’s eBike Range Assistant to see how far you could go.
See the assistant >Fast-forward the climbs
Conquer climbs more swiftly as ELyte EVO smoothly amplifies your efforts by up to 400% – that’s 4x you – letting you climb farther, faster; take on more challenging and technical ascents, and easily self-shuttle to ride more descents.
Enjoy more fun trails
Whatever trails you love riding – swooping singletrack, techy descents, trail centres, bike parks, or wild trails out in the hills – ELyte EVO will let you access them faster and with less effort than ever before so you can ride more of what you love.
Hone your skills
With ELyte EVO you’ll enjoy more quality bike time each time you head out to progress your riding skills and boost your confidence. And with the power and refined performance of the new Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit, you’ll have the control to help you conquer even more technical terrain than ever before.
With a full carbon frame, the lowest centre of gravity of any eMTB we’ve ever made, and the latest Bosch CX motor, ELyte EVO is lightweight, confidence-inspiring and powerful.
We put the mass where it matters
We were the first to pioneer a low centre of gravity, tilted-motor, dropped-battery approach on our first-ever eMTB, the E-150, that launched in 2019. Delivering a radically low centre of gravity was the solution to unlock the best handling possible.
Now for ELyte EVO, we’ve set a whole new benchmark.
Our lowest centre of gravity ever
Our ELyte EVO RS has a 21% lower centre of gravity than our ‘Bike Of The Year’ award-winning E-160 RSX, while the MX-wheeled ELyte EVO Stag Works bike is 34% lower for the lowest centre of gravity of any eMTB we’ve ever made.
Rides brilliantly, all the time
For ELyte EVO we’ve also engineered the bike to ride brilliantly whether you run the PowerMore range extender or not; adding or removing it has almost negligible impact on the bike’s centre of gravity so it handles the same with or without it.
The pursuit of perfection
Since 2019, we’ve continuously refined and evolved this low centre of gravity concept further across every eMTB that we’ve made, allowing us to create what some modern bike testers describe as the best handling eMTBs they’ve ever ridden.
ELyte EVO features
Carbon fibre frame
A full carbon fibre frame is beautifully light and reassuringly strong, and comes with lifetime frame and pivot bearing warranties*.
Bosch CX power
Bosch’s all-new Performance Line CX full-torque, full-power motor is quieter, lighter, and even more refined.
400Wh internal battery
Bosch's low-profile PowerTube 400Wh battery is stealthily integrated so you can fly under the radar – as well as down the trails.
250Wh range extender
Every ELyte EVO comes with Bosch’s PowerMore range extender, so you can enjoy 650Wh of battery capacity for bigger rides.
Lowest centre of gravity
A lower centre of gravity delivers a better handling and more confidence-inspiring ride in all situations – with or without the PowerMore.
MX wheels
Both our latest ELyte EVO bikes come with MX – aka ‘mullet’ or ‘mixed’ 29in front, 27.5in rear – wheels as standard.
Geometry adjustment
Switch from ‘High’ to ‘Low’ – to slacken geo by 0.6º and lower the bottom bracket by 8mm – for more gravity-friendly handling.
Short 155mm cranks
Coupling shorter cranks with the lowest centre of gravity delivers exceptional handling with the ability to pedal through the rough.
Takes two bottles
The frame takes both a full 750ml bottle (using the bottle cage adaptor, included), and an upper 450ml Fidlock bottle (on sizes M-XL).
Uncompromised parts
Pitch-perfect, trail-proven components that are up to the job and won't let you down. No corners cut to shave off a few grams.
Zero distractions
Bosch’s Mini Remote and System Controller deliver a clean cockpit with everything you need for the ride but nothing you don’t.
Switchable rear wheel
Whichever ELyte EVO you choose, you can also swap the rear wheelsize by changing the ‘Shape.It’ link to go from MX to 29er, if you want.
Suspension perfection
Whyte custom-tuned rear suspension delivers perfect performance, wherever the trail takes you.
Skid plate
A robust motor ‘sump’ skid-plate protects the Bosch Performance Line CX motor from strikes.
Your choice of routing
Every ELyte EVO frame comes ready to give you the choice as to how you want to run your cable or hose routing – internally or externally.
Smartly connected
Personalise and manage your bike how you want, and get more from your riding with the rich features of Bosch’s eBike Flow app.
Fully weather-sealed
Fully weather-sealed with a seat-clamp gaiter, and sealed cable and hose ports to keep the water out.
Protected charge port
The charge port is positioned at the base and to the front of the seat tube, out of the firing line of the rear wheel spray.
Yoke gaiter
A gaiter on the chainstay yoke prevents against sand, grit and debris getting behind the suspension yoke.
2.5in tyre clearance
Generous mud clearance for up to 2.5in tyres between the seat and chainstays to prevent mud and gunk slowing you down.
Armoured frame
Frame protection on the lower downtube and chainstay help keep the frame in great shape.
Pivot bearing protection
Phosphate-coated, marine grease packed bearings maximise service life through the worst conditions and come with a lifetime warranty*.

Your bike, your way
We believe you should be able set-up your bike, however you want. Geometry. Wheelsize. Cable and hose routing. The lot.
This is why every ELyte EVO comes ready to route hoses in different ways, the ability to adjust the geometry, as well as being ready for you to change the rear wheelsize: from MX to 29er, or from 29er to MX. All so you can ride your bike, your way.
How high/low will you go?
Our Shape.It link shock extender with its brass ‘flip-chip’ insert lets you change the geometry – but importantly not the shock performance – of your bike so you can have consistent suspension performance, regardless of the position you’re running.
Switch it from its ‘high’ to its ‘low’ position to slacken the bike out by 0.6º and lower the bottom bracket by 8mm.
Why go low?
Go low if you want a slacker, lower ride for riding steep and technical terrain with an emphasis on descending. Also, the lower bottom bracket reduces the centre of gravity further for even better handling. Perfect for self-shuttling and gravity-focused riding.
Why go high?
Go high if you want to raise the bottom bracket for more responsive handling both up and downhill – perfect for mixed trail rides and all-day adventures out in the hills.
As stock, our bikes come fitted with them in their high position. The longer shock eye-to-eye position gives you the high position; the shorter shock eye-to-eye position is the low position.
By swapping around the shock extender’s brass ‘flip-chip’ insert from its high to low setting you can effectively move the eye-to-eye length of the shock to steepen or slacken the head angle and raise or lower the bottom bracket (BB) height.
Roll on the wheels you want
Want to change from MX front and rear to a full 29er set-up? Or vice-versa? With ELyte EVO you can set up your wheelsize, however you want.
Want to smoothe out the trail and cover ground quickly, efficiently and comfortably? Go 29er.
Want the sharpest, most playful handling and the best rear wheel clearance for riding the steepest, techiest terrain? Stay MX.
Go 29er
Go 29er Want to change from an MX set-up to a 29er one? Just replace the bike’s stock Shape.It Link V2 with the Shape.It link and a suitable ASTM/EN17406 rated rear wheel (category 4, enduro) laced with an e-bike rated rear hub.
Designed to perform, engineered to last
We’ve designed, tested, and proven every ELyte EVO in our native UK, riding all year round through the best and the worst of conditions. Riding through the foulest, bearing-killing winters and their bike clogging mud means we’ve added a whole host of weather-proofing touches that may not grab headlines, but will keep you riding sweeter and for longer, come what may.
