Our view
An in depth review from the experts at DASH
At DASH, we've had the pleasure of testing countless bikes over the years, but the Whyte E-505 Hardtail Electric Mountain Bike has truly left its mark. This British-born beast, often referred to as the 'Land Rover Defender of e-bikes', is a testament to Whyte's 25 years of engineering heritage and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of e-bike technology. The E-505 has ruggedly stylish aesthetics. The matte black and grey finish, coupled with rose accents, exudes a sense of adventure and sophistication. But as we all know, looks can only get you so far. It's the performance that really counts, and the E-505 delivers in spades. The heart of the E-505 is its Bosch Performance Line CX 85Nm motor. This powerhouse provides an impressive amount of torque, making uphill climbs feel like a breeze. Paired with a large capacity Bosch PowerTube 500Wh removable battery, the E-505 offers long-range freedom that is perfect for those who love to explore off the beaten path. The Purion handlebar display is a nice touch, providing clear information about your ride and remaining battery life. The E-505's light and robust 6061 T-6 aluminum frame is a marvel of engineering. It provides a confident and capable ride, handling bumps and dips with ease. The 29-inch wheels, shod with high-volume Maxxis tyres, offer smooth-rolling performance and excellent grip on a variety of terrains. The 1x11 SRAM transmission ensures fast and reliable shifting, while the powerful four-piston hydraulic disc brakes provide all-weather stopping power. One of the standout features of the E-505 is its geometry. The upright position and wide bars make for a comfortable ride, whether you're cruising back country lanes or tackling challenging trails. The bike's handling is superb, thanks to the same design genius that has won Whyte national championships. In conclusion, the Whyte E-505 Hardtail Electric Mountain Bike is a game-changer. It's a bike that amplifies your fun, whether you're looking to stay fit, explore the countryside, or push your limits on off-road trails. It's not just a bike; it's a partner for all your adventures. The E-505 is a testament to Whyte's commitment to performance by design, and it's a ride that we can wholeheartedly recommend.

How do your monthly plans work?

Our flexible monthly plans are designed to offer you great value and maximum flexibility. Here's how they work:

Plan Length: We offer a range of plan lengths to suit your needs, from one month to several months. The longer you commit, the lower the monthly price. At the end of your plan length, your subscription will continue on a rolling monthly basis.
Extensions: If you're not ready to commit to a longer period when you sign up, don't worry! You can extend your commitment period at any time to take advantage of better pricing.
Upgrades: If you want to upgrade to a different model, you can do so after your minimum commitment period has ended.
Cancellations: We understand that circumstances can change, so you can cancel your subscription at any time. If you cancel during your commitment period, there may be a cancellation fee of up to £150 (before tax). We're not trying to penalise you for leaving early; we just want to reward loyalty and keep our prices low for our subscribers.

How does the pricing work?

What's special about DASH is that we're structured in a way that enables you to save tax through salary sacrifice in line with the Cycle to Work scheme. The displayed prices are the illustrative net monthly cost to you after tax savings (ie. the reduction in your "take home" pay). You can find a full breakdown of our pricing within the hire agreement which you must read as part of checkout.
