Merida eSPRESSO CITY 300 EQ SE 2026 electric bike image 01

Overview

The Merida eSPRESSO CITY 300 EQ SE is a mountain bike designed for casual trail riding and urban commutes, offering a balanced mix of motor support and practical features. Its 500W motor with torque and cadence sensing provides smooth and responsive assistance, making it easy to navigate varied terrain without feeling abrupt. Hydraulic disc brakes offer confident stopping power, while the removable battery adds convenience for charging and storage. However, the bike's lower battery capacity and moderate range may limit its effectiveness on longer rides or steep inclines. At 26.5kg, it's reasonably sturdy but may feel heavier to lift compared to lighter e-bikes in its class.
