High Performance, Unleashed

Whyte have poured everything into Kado Works to give you the highest performance possible: an optimised low centre of gravity delivers exceptional cornering agility, high-speed stability, and balanced handling on any terrain – no matter how fast or rowdy things get; custom-tuned suspension for the very best grip, feedback and control; confidence-inspiring geometry, and much more. All combined so you can beat the clock – and your personal best.

Charge time: 50% in 2.3hrs from empty, and to 100% in 6.9hrs with 4A Charger.

Technology

Low, Centered, Unstoppable

As part of Whyte's Total Geometry approach, Kado Works has been designed around the lowest, most centred centre of gravity (The point at which an object’s mass is evenly distributed and balanced) to give you the finest handling possible. By positioning the major masses of an eMTB (The motor and batteries) as low and centrally between the tyre contact patches as possible, Kado Works delivers you balanced control, effortless agility, sure-footed stability and absolute confidence. All so you can ride faster and with more poise to master every track.

Switchable Batteries

With an 800Wh internal battery as standard and compatibility with BOSCH’s aftermarket 250Wh ‘PowerMore’ range extender (Available separately; fits size M–XL frames), Kado Works is ready to give you up to a 1050Wh of combined battery capacity. Kado Works is also compatible with BOSCH’s aftermarket lighter, smaller 600Wh – PT600 – internal battery (Just add Whyte's battery end caps), so you can pick and choose smaller or larger batteries for different races. And all without needing to adjust any of the battery compartment internals – just slide the old battery out, add the endcaps to the new battery, and slide it in.

Smartly Connected

With the BOSCH Smart System – which links up the Kado Works’s top-tube BOSCH Kiox 400C LCD display, battery and motor via the E-Bike Flow app – you have even more information at your fingertips to manage, tailor and personalise your bike just how you want to get even more from your riding: tune the motor support levels; upgrade to the latest motor software updates, and more. We’ve also wired-in SRAM’s AXS wireless electronic rear mech directly into the bike’s main battery, so you’ll never need to remember to charge your gears again.
