Once the order has been processed and dispatched, we will send you a ‘Whyte Bike Dispatched’ confirmation email. This email confirms that the bike has left our premises and will shortly arrive with your selected Whyte dealer. Once received the Whyte dealer will perform a Pre-Delivery Inspection and make the bike safe and ready for use.

HOW TO ORDER A BIKE WITH ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES/CLOTHING
