Kado S proves that high performance doesn't need a high price. With Whyte’s Total Geometry concept, it delivers exceptional handling, whether you’re riding tight tech, flow trails, or long climbs. The low centre of gravity design boosts confidence, letting you stay stable and controlled even when the terrain turns rough.
This is the most accessible Kado — but it's every bit a Whyte eMTB.
Reliable Bosch Power
At the heart of the Kado S is the Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 5 motor, offering up to 85Nm torque and 600W peak power. It's smooth, efficient, and ready to tackle any climb. You can fine-tune power delivery via the Bosch eBike Flow app, and from July 15th 2025, unlock E-MTB+ mode and a free software upgrade to 100Nm and 750W.

Battery That Grows With You
The 600Wh slide-in battery offers plenty of range for everyday trail adventures. Want to go further? Add the Bosch 250Wh PowerMore range extender (M–XL sizes) for 850Wh total capacity. Want to race or ride even longer? It’s also compatible with Bosch’s 800Wh battery — just slide it in. No modifications needed.
Suspension, Tuned to Ride
The Kado S runs a 160mm RockShox Psylo Gold fork up front and a 150mm Deluxe Select R rear shock, both custom-tuned for Whyte. This setup balances plush control with trail feedback, helping you stay composed and in control whether you’re sending descents or picking your way through technical climbs.
Smart Design, Tough Build
From the 6061 hydroformed alloy frame to the 29in WTB ST Tough rims, Shimano 4-piston brakes, and Maxxis DHF tyres, every part is carefully selected to give you the best ride performance possible at this price. The dropper post, internally routed cables, and shape-it adjustable geometry complete the package.
