Whyte Bikes website www.whytebikes.com

Inuences - Never ride your eBike/pedelec whilst using
headphones. Never ride whilst operating your mobile phone
or other electronic device. Never ever ride your bike under the
inuence of alcohol or drugs. Failure to follow these strict rules
could lead to a serious accident or even death.
Riding conditions - Under wet and slippery conditions please
consider your cornering and braking. Make adaptions to your
riding by decreasing your speed, braking earlier, and gradually
applying braking force. Braking distance is likely to be signicantly
increased especially in off- road conditions. Ensure you ride at an
appropriate speed for the conditions, terrain, and your ability.
Bicycle carrier - Child carrier or seat - Trailer
Whyte bicycles are only designed and tested for use by one
person at a time. Carrying a child, pet, or cargo load on your
Whyte bicycle is at your own risk. If you choose to install an
accessory on your E-Lyte model such as a child carrier or a
trailer, make sure it is compatible and refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Do not attach a child carrier, trailer, or similar
accessory to a composite or carbon bre part or component,
either directly or indirectly. For example, do not attach a trialer to
a rear axle when the rear triangle is made of composite or carbon
bre. Likewise, do not attach a trailer to a composite or carbon
seat-post or a child carrier to a composite or carbon fork.
Failure to follow the warnings in this manual may result in damage
to the components on your bicycle and will void your warranty,
but, most importantly, may result in serious personal injury or
death. If your bicycle exhibits any signs of damage, do not use it
and immediately take it to your authorised Whyte Bikes retailer for
inspection.
01 - INTRODUCTION 1.2 Product Warnings
The Whyte Bosch system can only be activated when there is sufciently
charged battery installed. Please check the ‘CHARGING’ section of this
manual which shows how to charge your bicycle safely. If a sufciently
charged battery is installed and the eBike system is switched on, pedal
assistance can be engaged when pedal force is applied. For all pedal
assist modes please nd the correct operating system in this manual.
6
Bosch Power - Your Whyte/Bosch bicycle features a powerful
pedal assist when force is applied to the pedals. Familiarize
yourself with your bike’s ride and pedal assist characteristics in a
safe and at environment. Ensure you feel comfortable with your
bikes performance before riding in public areas where you may
put other peoples safety at risk.
Keep your ngers away - Do not place your ngers or tools near
the Drive unit. Maintenance and repair of the drive unit should
only be performed by an authorised Whyte Bike service centre.
Modications - Do not modify the Bosch Drive unit or any
components directly connected to the drive unit. Maintenance
and repair of the drive unit should only be performed by an
Authorised Whyte Service Centre. Any attempt to modify the

immediately void the bicycle’s warranty.
Tyres - Never inate a tyre beyond the lower of the two values
of the maximum pressure marked on the tyres sidewall and the
maximum pressure marked on the rim that the tyre is installed
on. Exceeding the recommended maximum pressure may blow
the tyre off the rim, which could cause damage to the bike and
injury to the rider and bystanders.

01 - INTRODUCTION 1.3 Rider Advice
Rider advice
Riding an eBike offers a very different experience to riding a conventional
bicycle with no motor. The injection of power and increased weight can
change your riding approach. Below are some considerations to ensure
safe riding, reduce component wear, and increase battery range.
• Additional weight can affect braking distances. Consider your speed
when entering corners and trail features. Pedalling through corners
or trail features will increase your speed and may exceed the riders
control.
• Shifting gears efciently dependant upon gradient and terrain
ensures an efcient cadence reducing wear to drive-train
components. This will also extend the battery life of the eBike.
• Check tyre pressures regularly to ensure optimum grip and roll
efciency. Store the eBike indoors and where possible avoid storing
in temperatures lower than 5 degrees.
Rider advice
Ensure that the eBike is properly sized for the user. Check your owners
manual for assistance with size adjustments. Please ensure you have read
the sections in your owners manual regarding set up, mechanical checks,
and safety checks. Please see advice below specic to EPACs.
• Check battery charge level prior to every ride.
• Ensure you are familiar with the display functions.
• Ensure you are familiar with the remote functions.
• Make sure the bike is disconnected from the charger before every
ride.
Please note the use of a Pedelec/E-MTB by children or adolescents under
the age of 14 is not recommended and illegal on UK public pathways.
Please check your regions laws and restrictions.
Fellow riders and your environment
Always be courteous to other trail users. Use extra caution around
domestic animals, such as dogs and horses. Give other trail users right-
of-way in all situations. Take care in urban areas where human trafc is
greatly increased.
The E-Lyte has been designed for off-road riding. Please see the
‘regulations and usage’ section of this manual to learn about your bikes
capabilities. This bike is not designed for extreme forms of riding that
include hardcore Dirt Jumping, Free-riding, Downhill, or North Shore trails.
Riding your bike in environments that it hasn’t been designed for could
lead to mechanical failure and put the rider at risk.
Public roads
Before riding your Whyte E-Lyte, please inform yourself of all applicable
legal requirements and regulations in your country, state, and/or province.
There may be restrictions on riding your E-Lyte bicycle on public roads,
cycling paths, and/or trails. There may also be applicable helmet and light
requirements, age restrictions, license or insurance requirements. Whyte
Bikes encourages its bike owners to research all legal requirements for
their own safety. Failure to do so puts the rider and others around them
at risk, voids warranty, and support from Whyte Bikes will not be offered.
As laws and regulations regarding electric bicycles vary by country and/
or state and province and are constantly changing, please make sure to
obtain the latest information. Please read this manual fully and if you have
any further questions please contact your Whyte Bikes retailer.

02 - RIDE INFO 2.3 Pre-ride Check
Pre-Ride Check
Routinely check the condition of your bicycle before every ride.
Regardless of ability and experience level, you should read all of your
Owners Manual (Assembly Safety Equipment, Pre-Ride Check, Safety
Checks, And Set Up) and carry out all the required checks. In addition,
make sure you are comfortable operating the eBike’s controls and are
familiar with all aspects of your bike.
• Make sure nothing is loose. Lift the front wheel off the ground by
approximately 5cm (2 inches), then let it drop and bounce on the ground.
Does anything sound, feel or look loose? Then do a visual and tactile
inspection of the whole bike. Can you nd any loose parts or accessories?
If so, secure them. (Frequency: Before every ride)
• Tyre pressure. Make sure tyres are correctly inated. Check by pushing
the bike down into the oor, while looking at how the tyre deects. Check
Manufacturer’s recommended tyre pressures indicated on the side wall.
Adjust the air pressure if necessary. (Frequency: Before every ride)
• Tyre condition. Spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread and
side wall. Replace damaged tyres, do not ride on them. (Frequency: Before
every ride)
• Wheels are true. Spin each wheel and check for side-to-side rim
movement. If a rim moves side to side even slightly take the bike to a
Whyte retailer to have the wheel trued. (Frequency: Before every ride)
• Ensure there is sufcient battery charge before setting off (Frequency:
Before every ride)
• Check that the display and control functions are operational (Frequency:
Before every ride).
WARNING
It is critical that the checks above are completed
before every ride.
Brake Lever Adjustment:
INFO
Please note front and rear brake levers change sides dependant
upon country/state. Ensure you identify which brake lever
operates each brake.
Whyte recommends that at least the index ngers have the range to
reach the brake levers easily. Brake lever adjustment can be achieved -
please consult brake manufacturers manuals or by consulting a Whyte
retailer for further details.
INFO
Take care during assembly not to damage the discs, callipers,
or pads when installing the wheels. With hydraulic brakes, never
apply pressure to the levers with the wheel removed.
12

02 - RIDE INFO 2.3 Pre-ride Check
WARNING - As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is
subjected to wear and high stresses. Different materials and
components may react to wear or stress fatigue in different
ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it
may suddenly fail possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any form
of cracking, scratches, fraying or change of colouring in highly
stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been
reached and it should be replaced.
Control Checks
Checking over your bike controls prior to every ride is critical to the
riders safety. These checks must be carried out after assembly.
• Brake function.
Squeeze the brake levers. Can you apply full braking force at the
levers without having them touch the handlebar? Try to move
the bike forwards with the brake levers squeezed. Are the wheels
locked? If not, then the brakes are not working properly. Do not ride
the bike until you have consulted your Whyte retailer.
• Wheel attachment.
Ensure the front and rear wheels are correctly secured to the fork
and frame.
• Secure seat post.
If the seat post has a quick-release clamp fastener for easy height
adjustment, check that it is properly adjusted and in the locked
position
• Handlebar and saddle alignment.
Make sure the saddle and handlebar stem are parallel to the bike’s
centre line and clamped tight enough so that you can’t twist them
out of alignment. If they are not, do not ride the bike until you have
consulted your Whyte retailer.
• Handlebar grips.
Ensure the grips are tight by twisting the handlebar grips with force
making sure they do not move. Make sure there is a plug in each end
of the handlebars.
13
INFO - Ergonomic adjustments to seat-post heights,
handlebars, and suspension set ups can affect the control,
comfort and performance of the user and bicycle. Correct set
up can have a great affect on increasing or reducing the rider
safety and enjoyment.
WARNING - Aloose or damaged stem, handlebars, grips or
extensions can cause you to lose control and fall. Unplugged
handlebars or extensions can cut you and cause serious injury
in an otherwise minor accident.

02 - RIDE INFO 2.4 After a Crash
AFTER A CRASH
Crashing and falling off your bike is part of cycling. Check yourself for
injuries. Take care of them as best you can. If necessary, seek medical
help. An apparently minor incident could have major implications later
on.
WARNING:
Carbon composite components, including frames, wheels,
handlebars, stems, crank-sets, brakes, etc. which have
sustained an impact must not be ridden until they have
been disassembled and thoroughly inspected by a
qualied mechanic.
Ensure a thorough check of the complete bike is completed before riding
the bike after a crash/fall. Damage might be obvious like a cracked frame,
forks, or bent handlebars. Less obvious damage like bent or twisted
controls on the handlebar can affect handling of the bike and will need
to be rectied. Please go through the ‘Pre-Ride’ checks supplied in this
manual. Carefully examine all areas of the frame, forks, and rims for
any dents, cracks or deformations. If you nd any signs of damage to
the frame, forks, or rims then do not ride the bike. Consult your Whyte
retailer to have the bike thoroughly inspected before riding the bike
again.
Check the seat, seat-post, stem, and handlebars are still in the correct
orientation. NEVER try to correct the position by force. Loosen xings/
bolts with the correct tools and reposition before re-tightening (Ensure
you refer to the specied torque settings).
Check both wheels are securely tted in the right position in the frame
and fork. Lift the eBike at both the front and rear to test the wheels
rotate freely. Make sure there are no dents or deformations to the rims.
Ensure the wheel runs true with no interference from the frame. Be sure
to check over brake alignment with discs and pads as this may have
been altered in the crash. Failure to carry out these checks before riding
puts the rider at risk.
WARNING: Aluminium components when deformed can break
unexpectedly. If any of your Whyte bicycle components have
been deformed or bent after a fall then the bicycle is unsafe to
ride. Please ensure damaged parts are replaced and correctly
installed. If there is any doubt do not ride your bicycle and
contact your Whyte retailer for support.
14
WARNING: A collision or impact can cause serious damage to
your bicycle and its components, causing them to malfunction
or wear out prematurely. Malfunctions can occur suddenly and
without notice, causing you to lose control of your bicycle and
suffer serious injuries,
If you discover any damage to your Whyte bike or its components, STOP
using the bicycle immediately!
Even if you can not visually observe any damage, pay close attention to
the sound of your bicycle when riding. Unusual noises or riding vibrations
can be a clear sign of damage and you should stop riding immediately.
Contact your Whyte retailer who will be able to correctly diagnose the
problem.

03 - RIDER REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Legal Regulations
INFO - Before riding your Whyte eBike please inform yourself
of all applicable legal requirements to ride safely in your
country/state. Please ensure adequate safety restrictions
are obeyed with regards to lighting, licenses, helmet and insurance
requirements. Whyte Bikes will not make any promise, representation, or
warranty regarding the use of your EPAC. Laws and regulations for EPAC’s
vary in different markets and continue to evolve, please ensure you obtain
the latest information.
An eBike/pedelec is a bicycle where the rider is assisted when pedalling.
The motor can legally go up to 250 Watts with a maximum assisted speed
of 25Km/h. Any bike that exceeds these limits is considered to be a
moped or light motorcycle depending upon country/state law.
Under EU and UK law eBikes/pedelec’s fall under the same category as
bicycles. These laws may differ or special rules may apply dependant
upon region so please take the time to educate yourself before riding. It
is extremely important to obey the regulations governing the operation
of an eBike/pedelec and the requirements regarding minimum age,
certicates, licenses, insurance and helmets.
INFO - Do not tamper with your eBike/pedelec’s electrical
system in any way. Unauthorised modications will void
your bikes warranty, and make the product unsafe, whilst
endangering the user and others. Making any changes to increase the
speed or performance could incur legal problems. Any maintenance to
the electrical system must be carried out by a professional accredited
mechanic and all replacement parts must be original. For further
assistance please consult your Whyte retailer or motor manufacturer.
Possible Legal Implications:
• The eBike/pedelec is required by law to be registered for approval
and insured. All legal requirements regarding the bike components
stated by road trafc licensing authority must be adhered to e.g.
lights, reectors and helmets.
• Whyte do not offer representation, warranty, or liability for use of
your eBike/pedelec
• Tampering with your eBike/pedelec may result in a legal offence and
termination of warranty and insurance. 15
Please check age restrictions for EPAC users in your country/state as it
is common to nd laws banning the use of EPAC’s for children on public
roads.
If you plan to ride with kids on your bicycle, please inform yourself
of all applicable legal requirements and regulations in your country/
state. There may be restrictions on riding your bicycle with certain or
any accessory(ies). This is especially true for electric and pedal-assist
bicycles.

03 - RIDER REQUIREMENTS 3.4 Safety Equipment
WARNING! Safety gear such as helmets may be required by
law. Please educate yourself on current laws and legislations
before riding. The use of helmets and other protective wear can
reduce serious injuries and even death.
Lights: Lights are mandatory for night riding by law, reectors are not
sufcient. Please make yourself aware of all laws and regulations for your
country/state. Riding at night or in poor visibility is dangerous. Ensure
lights are installed at the front and rear of your bicycle before riding at
night.
Helmet: Whyte Bikes strongly recommend that when riding any of
their bikes, that a helmet is worn at all times. This is regardless of the
discipline or bicycle type. Ensure the helmet is securely fastened. Failure
to wear a helmet could result in serious injury or even death.
Reectors: The reectors on your bicycle reect light, which illuminates
them, making the cyclist visible to other vehicles, pedestrians and
cyclists. They make you visible in conditions of poor visibility/light.
They are therefore a crucial part of the safety system and must not be
removed.
Please ensure all reectors are securely fastened, clean, clear of any
obstructions and exhibit no signs of damage. Do not remove reectors
from your Whyte bike, they have been installed to meet current laws and
are tted for the users safety.
INFO The user of this Whyte bike is responsible for
understanding current laws and regulations regarding bicycle
use. The rider must obey regulations and must be aware of the
penalties for their violation.

Considerations:
Speed: Always ride at a speed within your comfort zone and or
according to the conditions you’re riding in (e.g., rain, darkness or loose
dirt). This especially applies when riding in wet weather, as you’ll need
even more time and greater distance to slow down and are more likely
to crash. Give lots of room to slow down and apply brakes gently. Riding
at speeds beyond your comfort or skill level can result in a serious crash.
Even if it’s legal, it’s not always safe to be riding at high speeds on paths
or trails when other users are present.
Failure to take these potentially dangerous conditions into account can
cause a crash, leading to serious personal injury or death.
WARNING - Conditions on the road, path or trail you are riding
on can present sudden hazards. Avoid or exercise caution by
slowing your speed on dangerous terrain, including:
• Potholes
• Train tracks
• Wet, oily or icy terrain
• Gravel or sand
• Kerbs
• Wet leaves
• Speed bumps
• Drain grates
• Broken glass
• Thorns
• Steep hills
• Sharp or sudden turns
• Other hazards that can cause a puncture and/or loss of control
WARNING - As a road user, it is your responsibility to follow the
rules of the road and operate your eBike in such a manner as to
reduce your risk of a collision. Failure to follow this warning may
lead to a collision or crash, resulting in serious personal injury
or death.
Surrounding people:
Exercise caution when passing pedestrians or other cyclists. The greater
the speed difference, the greater the likelihood of a crash. Slow down
when people or pedestrians are present, as they may not be aware of
your presence and may step out in front of you. Riding with greater
speed and weight requires more care, especially around other riders.
Avoid distractions and stay focused on the road ahead. When following
other riders, maintain a sufcient enough gap to allow you to stop safely.
The higher your speed, the greater the gap should be.
CAUTION - When riding in a group, following other riders, or
riding on crowded roads, paths or trails, always maintain a gap
sufcient to allow you to stop safely.
Passengers:
Transporting passengers with your eBike is NOT permitted. Your eBike
has been designed and tested for use by one person (the rider). Any
transportation of a passenger beyond the intended design of the eBike
is at your own risk.
