Best For
✓
This commuter e-bike should suit riders who prioritize comfort, practicality and reliable assistance for daily travel, especially on varied or rougher urban surfaces. Its strong motor power and torque, combined with front and rear suspension, make it a good fit for riders who need confident hill support and a smoother ride on uneven roads. The removable battery and well-equipped design also appeal to those who value flexibility in charging and everyday usability.
Who Should Avoid It
×
Riders who prioritize fast charging or significantly longer range against similar commuter e-bikes may want to compare alternatives. The charging time is slower than average for this type of bike, and the range is only average, which could be a drawback for those needing more flexibility on longer commutes. The chain drive also requires more maintenance compared to belt-driven models, which might be a consideration for riders seeking low-maintenance practicality. However, the bike still offers good value, smooth power delivery and strong everyday equipment for most commuter needs.

eBike FAQs
Is this bike suitable for long daily commutes in the city?
The Merida eBIG TOUR 675 EQ is a solid choice for long daily commutes in the city, offering a comfortable ride and reliable performance. With a 750Wh battery, it provides a decent range for most urban trips, and the removable battery makes charging and storage more convenient. However, the charging time is slower than average, which could be a consideration if you need to recharge quickly between rides.
How does the motor perform when climbing hills in urban areas?
The Merida eBIG TOUR 675 EQ's 500W motor with 85Nm of torque provides strong support when climbing hills in urban areas, making it easier to tackle inclines without excessive effort. The motor's smooth power delivery should feel natural and controlled, helping you maintain a steady pace on city streets. While the motor is powerful enough for most urban climbs, the bike's weight and average range may mean you need to plan your route or charge the battery more frequently for longer commutes.
Does the bike have enough battery range for a full day of commuting?
The Merida eBIG TOUR 675 EQ has a 750Wh battery that provides a range of around 65 miles, which should be sufficient for most daily commutes, especially in urban or suburban settings. However, the battery efficiency is average, so factors like terrain, weather, and riding style can affect the actual range. The removable battery adds convenience for charging, but the charging time is slower than average, which may be something to consider if you need to recharge quickly.
How practical is the removable battery for charging and storage?
The removable battery is quite practical for charging and storage, as it allows you to take the battery indoors to charge it safely, which is especially useful if you're charging at home or in an office. This flexibility also makes it easier to store the bike in smaller spaces, as you can keep the battery separate when not in use. However, the bike's overall weight and lack of folding capability may still make it less convenient to carry or store in some situations.
How comfortable is the bike on rough or uneven city roads?
The Merida eBIG TOUR 675 EQ should handle rough or uneven city roads reasonably well, thanks to its sturdy frame and smooth power delivery. While it's not designed for extreme off-road conditions, the motor's assistance helps maintain a comfortable pace over bumps and cracks. The bike's weight and tire design likely contribute to a stable ride, though you may feel some vibration on very rough surfaces.
Is the bike good value for money compared to similar commuter e-bikes?
The Merida eBIG TOUR 675 EQ offers a solid balance of features and price for a commuter e-bike. It has a powerful motor, a large battery, and is well-equipped with practical features like built-in lights, making it a good choice for daily use. While the charging time is slower than average and the weight might make it a bit less convenient to carry, the overall package provides good value for money compared to similar commuter e-bikes.
How long does it take to charge the battery, and is this a drawback?
The battery takes longer than average to charge, which could be a minor inconvenience if you need to recharge it frequently. However, the removable battery design makes it easy to charge at home or work, so you're not tied to the bike while it charges. For most daily commuters, this shouldn't be a major issue, especially since the 750Wh battery provides a solid range for typical city or suburban trips.
What are the main compromises or trade-offs of this bike for everyday use?
The Merida eBIG TOUR 675 EQ is a solid commuter bike, but there are a few trade-offs to consider. The charging time is notably slow, which could be inconvenient if you need to recharge frequently. Additionally, while the bike is well-equipped and comfortable for daily use, its weight may make it slightly less convenient to lift or carry when needed. The frame doesn't fold, so storage will depend on the bike's size and weight, which are average for this type of e-bike.

Dressed for the city but ready for the trails, the eBIG.TOUR 675 EQ has all the equipment needed for everyday urban riding but with the powerful helping hand of the new Shimano EP6 drive unit and 750 Wh battery integrated into the low-step-through frame. Thanks to chunky tyres and a SR Suntour suspension fork, it's also more than capable of taking detours into the dirt, whether you want to liven up your everyday riding or head off on a bigger adventure. A wide range, 12-speed SRAM drivetrain takes care of hills with ease, while powerful yet controllable brakes keep you safely in control. Are practicality and excitement mutually exclusive? We don't think so - and neither does the eBIG.TOUR. It's a reliable day-to-day companion for riding to work that's equally happy taking you on big adventures off the beaten track, thanks to a winning combination of mountain bike inspired geometry with low step-through frame practicality. A powerful and smooth Shimano pedal-assist motor is integrated cleanly into the aluminium frame, while a suspension fork and high-volume tyres provide comfort and safety. Add in standard fit mudguards, racks, lighting, wheel lock and a kickstand plus long-lasting 630 or 750 Wh batteries and you'll realise you've got the best of all worlds.
