eMTB Hire

For the singletrack and bridleways of the South Downs, we offer hard-tail and full-suspension electric mountain bikes (eMTBs) from two leading brands, Whyte and Trek.

All our eMTBs have everything you would expect - 'slack' geometry, 29" or 27.5" wheels, dropper posts, 1x chainrings, four pot brakes and they run tubeless.

All our eMTBs e-bikes are Bosch-equipped, giving unequalled reliability and power.

Whyte e504 and e505 Hardtail

Whyte's hardtail eMTB is an incredibly capable machine, well-suited to South Downs riding. The e505 (M, L and XL frames) is a 29er while the e504 (S and XS) runs 27.5" wheels. All models have the Bosch Performance CX motor with a 500w battery.

The RockShox 35 Silver fork offers 120mm of suspension and the combination of this, dropper post, slack geometry and powerful four-pot brakes enable it to tackle anything you will find without ever finding the limits of the bike.

Whyte e160 and e150 Full Suspension

Whyte has great pedigree in enduro bikes thanks to its focus on perfect geometry and lowering the centre of gravity and the e160 and its predecessor, the e150 have been highly rated in reviews.

The e150 has a 625w battery while the e160 has a massive 750w.

Suspension is covered by RockShox (ZEB29 on the front, Deluxe Select R on the rear), while braking and shifting is taken care of by SRAM.

Trek Powerfly Hardtail

The Trek Powerfly Gen 4 is a well-specced modern eMTB and is equipped with a Bosch Performance CX drive system and 625w battery.

Trek Rail 5 Full Suspension

Flow Mountain Bike described the Trek Rail as " A plush, powerful & frustratingly near-perfect electric mountain bike". With 160mm of travel at the front and 150mm at the rear, it will deal with just about anything you might come across.

Whyte e506

This is the SUV of e-bikes, the ideal e-bike for off-road touring. It is equipped with a pannier rack, stand and mudguards, but this is a wolf in sheep's clothing - with the same frame as the e504 eMTB, dropper post, Bosch Performance Line CX motor, Tektro four-pot brakes and RockShox fork, the e506 is perfect for off-road adventures like the South Downs Way and King Alfred's Way.

This eMTB is available (and recommended) for multi-day all-terrain rides.
