Whippet – The Light eBike
Only 13.9 kg
We accept all cycle to work schemes!
The whippet eBike is light and nimble and a joy to ride. It’s fitted with an efficient, powerful 250W rear hub motor that’s smooth and super quiet. The whole eBike weighs 13.9kg, including the 200Wh battery. To enhance the riding experience top-quality components have been used throughout with shifter, 7-speed rear derailleur, cassette and hydraulic disc brakes all by Shimano, along with a Brookes saddle and Schwalbe Marathon Greenguard tyres.
Size: Whippets only come in one size. The frame is unisex with the frame geometry giving a low standover height of 77 cm. The bike is generally suitable for people from 1.65m (5ft 5in) to 1.83m (6ft 0in) tall.
Impossibly light and powerful.
Designed for Bristol hills, a 25-mile battery!
Most bike trips, more than 95%, are for 4 miles or less. So we thought it would be great to have an eBike designed for those journeys; to work, to the shops, down the pub. So the Whippet has a battery sized for use around town. Why drag around a big heavy battery when you rarely go further? (Next time you go for a 90-mile eBike trip, drop us a line – we’d love to hear about it!)
It’s impossible to give a really accurate range for the Whippet as there are so many variables: wind strength and direction, tyre pressure, rider weight, fitness of rider, steepness of hills, how often you stop and start in traffic, and whether you use the pedal assist all the time (to name a few).
Having said that, in practice we’ve found that if you use electric assist all the time on the maximum power setting then for urban trips in hilly Bristol the battery will take you about 25 miles (40 km). So of course if you use the lower power settings or sometimes switch the power off, for instance when going downhill, then the range will be greater.
The battery takes about two hours to charge to 80% from empty so you can easily recharge at work or over lunch using the small, lightweight charger provided.

Whippet Electric Bicycle Accessories
The lightest ebike with great range
The Whippet is so light (13.9kg complete) and has top quality bike components so that you’ll still fly along even without the power switched on. That means that you can extend the battery range if you like and just switch on the power for steep hills or when you get tired.
Whippets are much lighter than most eBikes, we don’t know of a lighter one that you can buy. The total weight is 13.9kg including the battery. So that means that a Whippet rides like a normal bike and is light enough to carry upstairs or lift onto a bike rack. The removable battery itself weighs 1.3kg.
Minimalist Design
A lot of passion, hard work, long hours, failed prototypes and tinkering went into making this minimalist e-bike the simple joy that it is. Whippets only come in one size. The frame is unisex with the frame geometry giving a low stand over height of 77 cm.
High-quality parts
To enhance the riding experience top-quality components have been used throughout with shifter, 7-speed rear derailleur, cassette and hydraulic disc brakes all by Shimano, along with a Brookes saddle and Schwalbe Marathon Greenguard tyres.

GREEN COMMUTE INITIATIVE
An electric bike offers huge benefits for commuters over public transport and cars, improving your lifestyle and saving you money.
Improved health, increased confidence and able to make longer commutes easier are just a few benefits you can enjoy.
However, we’re aware that they aren’t the cheapest to buy upfront.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Cycle to Work Scheme and the Green Commute Initiative (GCI) to help you spread the cost into monthly payments with discounts on the initial purchase price.
Please note, GCI is for Electric Bikes only. e-Mopeds and e-Scooters are excluded from the scheme.

EcoMove Customer Reviews
3 months ago via Google Got an e-bike from Eco Move recently and very pleased with it! Makes cycling into work much nicer. Mark and Nilloy were super kind and helpful when it came to ordering the bike and making sure everything got sorted. I also had to bring my bike in for some break adjustments and Jack sorted it all out and undid the mess I made of it trying to adjust it myself. My partner also got his E bike from here and has been really pleased with his bike as well. Thank you Eco-Move team!
a month ago via Google Bought a bike through EcoMove 6 months ago and had a few questions about how smoothly it's was running. Popped in after work at gone 4:40pm expecting only an opinion. The technician couldn't have been more helpful. Gave the bike a good check over, fixing chain tension and tightening brakes. Then found and sorted core issue with spokes on rear wheel. Great customer service.
a month ago via Google Picked up the bike on Saturday morning, not quite ready when we arrived had walk along the harbour and a coffee, ready when we returned. My wife is absolutely over the moon with her first E bike and the service at the shop 5***** . Hills absolutely no problem.Would highly recommend.
a month ago via Google Can’t fault EcoMove. Really excellent customer service from start to finish. Nilloy and Simon made me feel comfortable the moment I walked in and were both very knowledgeable about the bikes, as well as just genuinely nice people. I love riding my new Mi-Rider to work and am really pleased I bought it from EcoMove. Thanks so much guys!
5 months ago via Google Quite honestly the best customer experience I have ever encountered!
Not only helpful, friendly and very quick to respond to queries a d delivery of parts but also going the extra mile with assistance on a bike that I bought elsewhere!
Fantastic work guys keep it up 🥳
