Merida eSpresso City Hybrid eBike | Smooth Efficiency & Seamless Low-Step Design
The Merida eSpresso City delivers the ultimate urban riding experience, pairing one of the lowest and widest step-through frames available with a neatly hidden, integrated battery. Engineered for premium accessibility, daily utility, and smooth city handling, this model allows you to mount and dismount with absolute confidence, making it the ideal partner for busy commuters, daily errands, and casual weekend exploration.
At the core of its performance is the refined Shimano Steps E6100 mid-drive motor, serving up a punchy 60Nm of torque to flatten steep city climbs and smooth out heavy headwinds. The motor draws from a high-capacity 504Wh internal frame battery, positioning the weight low to the ground to ensure an incredibly balanced, agile, and natural riding feel. Comfort is key to the design, incorporating an adjustable handlebar stem to perfectly dial in your upright riding preference and an active suspension seatpost that effortlessly smooths out jarring city potholes, cobblestones, and kerbs.
Fully dressed and ready to roll straight out of the bike shop doors, it comes standard with a comprehensive utility package: full-wrap mudguards, a robust rear cargo rack, a kickstand, an integrated frame wheel lock, and eBike-powered safety lights. Fast-rolling 700c wheels are matched with wide, high-volume 50mm tyres that optimize grip and comfort on tarmac or gravel canal paths, complete with reflective sidewall strips for added low-light protection. Boasting a heavy-duty 150 kg maximum weight capacity, this versatile machine handles you and your loaded pannier bags with absolute stability.
