Whyte Highgate 2020 Electric Hybrid Bike

Summary

The Highgate is a Fast Urban machine utilising Shimano STEPS assistance to get you further.
Using Shimano’s STEPS e-Bike Drive Unit the Highgate is able to take advantage of the pedal assist without compromising the weight distribution and therefore the handling of this compact fit bike. The STEPS system provides just the right amount of assistance for a true pedal feel. So whether you’re on the morning commute or just looking to get those miles in, the Highgate is the bike for you.

The hydroformed T6 aluminium frame is stiff and light, making the bike rather light for an eBike. Shimano Deore drivetrain will provide accurate, smooth shifting and reliable performance all ride long, with 10 speed options to get you up the meanest of ascents. Tektro hydraulic disc brakes provide all weather stopping power and modulation, so you can ride with confidence in all conditions. The Highgate also comes fitted with 650b wheels and 47c RoadPlus, WTB Byway tyres, offering greater comfort, better grip and increased security on rough urban roads and light off-road rides.

Integrated lighting, controlled from your STEPS head unit gives you fingertip control of your lights for year-round usage. These powerful lights make night riding easy but also give you the ability to use them as daytime running lights for extra visibility.
