Where to buy
Priced at £4,000, the Merida eBIG NINE 675 sits towards the higher end of the commuter e-bike market for 2024 models. Its value is supported by a robust build and feature set, though the price may be a consideration for buyers seeking more affordable options in the same category.

The Merida eBIG NINE 675 is listed at £4,000, which is on the higher side when compared with similar commuter e-bikes from 2024. It offers a strong range of around 70 miles and a robust 750Wh battery, both of which compare well with many rivals in the category, while its 85Nm torque and power-to-weight ratio also stand out for daily use. However, the 6-hour charge time is slower than some alternatives, which could be a consideration for riders who need quick turnaround between rides. For a commuter e-bike, the balance of range, battery size and payload capacity makes it appealing for those prioritising reliability and carrying capacity over charging speed. Riders who value long-range and strong hill support in a practical, well-equipped package are most likely to see the value in this price point, though those needing faster charging may find the trade-off less appealing.

eBike FAQs
Is this bike suitable for daily commuting in a city or suburban area?
Yes, the Merida eBIG NINE 675 is a solid choice for daily commuting in a city or suburban area. It offers a strong 500W motor with 85Nm of torque, which provides good hill climbing support, and a high-capacity 750Wh battery that should give you a range of around 70 miles on a single charge. The hydraulic disc brakes offer reliable stopping power in various conditions, and the bike is well-equipped with built-in lights for safety. However, the charging time is slower than average, and the bike's weight may make it a bit harder to lift when needed.
How does the motor perform when climbing hills or dealing with steep inclines?
The Merida eBIG NINE 675's 500W motor with 85Nm of torque provides strong support when climbing hills or tackling steep inclines, making it a capable choice for urban and suburban commutes. The high torque ensures you won't struggle with steep gradients, especially when using the higher assistance levels. While the motor is powerful enough for most daily riding scenarios, the bike's weight and average battery efficiency may slightly affect performance on very long or frequent climbs.
What is the real-world range on a single charge for typical daily use?
The Merida eBIG NINE 675 offers a real-world range of around 70 miles on a single charge, which should be more than enough for most daily commutes or errands. This range is above average for commuter e-bikes, and with the high-capacity battery, you can expect reliable performance for longer trips without needing to recharge frequently. However, battery efficiency is average, so factors like riding style, terrain, and weather may affect the actual range you experience.
How practical is the removable battery for charging and storage?
The removable battery on the Merida eBIG NINE 675 is quite practical for charging and storage. You can easily take the battery out to charge it indoors or at work, which is convenient if you don't have a dedicated charging spot at home. However, the bike's weight and lack of a folding frame mean storage might still require some space, especially if you need to keep the bike itself in a small area.
Does the bike feel comfortable for long rides on rough or uneven roads?
The Merida eBIG NINE 675 is designed for daily commuting, so it offers a reasonably comfortable ride on city streets and suburban roads. However, it may feel less comfortable on very rough or uneven terrain, as this is not its primary focus. The frame geometry and seat design prioritize efficiency for regular use rather than long-distance comfort on challenging surfaces.
How does the braking system perform in everyday riding conditions?
The Merida eBIG NINE 675 features hydraulic disc brakes that provide reliable stopping power in everyday conditions, including wet or uneven city streets. These brakes are responsive and offer good control, making them suitable for the typical demands of urban or suburban riding. While they may not be the most refined option, they are adequate for the bike's intended use and should handle most daily scenarios confidently.
Is this bike good value for money compared to similar commuter e-bikes?
The Merida eBIG NINE 675 offers strong value for money when compared to similar commuter e-bikes, especially considering its high motor power, excellent battery capacity, and practical features like built-in lights and a removable battery. While the price is on the higher side, the performance and equipment justify the cost for daily urban use. However, the slow charging time and average weight may be considerations for some buyers.
What are the main compromises or trade-offs of this bike?
The Merida eBIG NINE 675 offers strong performance for daily commuting, 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 average in weight for its category, this might make it slightly harder to lift when needed. The frame doesn't fold, so storage options are limited to its size and weight. These factors are important to consider if you're looking for a bike that's easy to handle and store in a small space.

Who says you can't have it all? With a versatile, high-quality aluminium frame that integrates the new Shimano EP6 drive unit and a large capacity 750 Wh battery seamlessly and the ability to handle off-road riding just as well as the daily commute, the eBIG.NINE 675 delivers the holy grail for riders that don't want their bike to pigeonhole their riding. Add in a smooth SR Suntour fork to tame the bumps and quality Shimano drivetrain that can handle everything from steep mountain climbs to fast, flat sections and you'll be wondering if you need anything more. Arguably the most versatile e-bike in our range, the tried and tested eBIG.NINE embodies the perfect balance of day-to-day usability and sporty leisure activity. It's a bike that can handle serious off-road riding but can also handle the commute to work with ease - especially if you want to have some fun on the way. The high-quality aluminium frame integrates a choice of 630 or 750 Wh battery sleekly into the downtube, with a more economical frame featuring semi-integrated 504 Wh battery on some models. All feature powerful and smooth Shimano drive units that will power you up any hill. Ready to be equipped with mudguards and even a side stand (or available as the EQ fully equipped version), the eBIG.NINE will help you make the most of any situation.
