Overview
The Merida eSPRESSO CC 675 EQ is a mountain bike designed for trail riding, offering smooth motor support and reliable braking for off-road adventures. Its 500W motor with torque and cadence sensing provides natural assistance, while the removable battery adds convenience for charging and storage. However, the bike's heavier weight makes it less easy to lift, and its range of 55 km may require careful planning for longer rides. Charging takes around six hours, which is slower than average, but the overall value for money and off-road capability make it a solid choice for trail-focused riders.
Best For
✓
This mountain e-bike should suit riders who want a capable trail companion with strong hill support and reliable off-road performance. Its above-average battery capacity and smooth power delivery make it a good choice for those prioritising natural assistance and longer rides on varied terrain. The removable battery and hydraulic disc brakes add practicality and confidence for riders who need flexibility and control in challenging conditions. Riders who value a balance between performance and value may find this bike particularly appealing for regular trail use.
Who Should Avoid It
×
Riders who prioritize longer rides or faster charging may want to compare alternatives, as the range is below average for similar mountain e-bikes and the charging time is longer than average for this type. Riders who need to lift or store the bike frequently may want to check the weight carefully, as it is heavy for a mountain e-bike. However, the bike still offers strong battery setup, confident hill support and natural power delivery, which may suit riders who value these aspects more than range or charging speed.

This mountain e-bike offers a strong motor output for its category, with assistance that should feel responsive and capable on trails. The torque support should compare well against similar e-bikes, helping with climbs and low-speed rough terrain, though the bike's higher weight may make starts and climbs feel more dependent on the motor. The torque and cadence sensor should provide a natural and predictable assistance feel, which should help riders maintain control on technical trails. The motor setup is likely to suit riders looking for a balanced blend of power and trail confidence, though those prioritizing lighter weight and more lively acceleration may find some trade-offs in this model's performance.
This explanation is based on the bike’s motor power, torque, battery capacity, claimed range, charging
time, sensor type and how those figures compare with similar e-bikes in our database.
eBike FAQs
Is this bike suitable for long off-road rides?
This mountain e-bike is well-suited for off-road trails, with hydraulic disc brakes providing confident stopping power and a 500W motor offering smooth assistance for climbing and riding over rough terrain. However, its 55-mile range may require careful planning for longer rides, and the bike's heavier weight could make it less convenient to carry or lift when needed.
How does the motor perform when climbing steep trails?
The motor should provide strong support when climbing steep trails, thanks to its 500W power and 85Nm of torque. This should help maintain momentum on inclines, though the bike's weight may make it feel slightly less agile. The motor's torque and cadence sensing should deliver smooth assistance, making it easier to tackle challenging terrain without overexertion.
Is the battery capacity sufficient for regular trail use?
The 750Wh battery should provide enough power for most regular trail rides, especially with the bike's above-average motor performance helping to manage terrain. However, the 55-mile range may require careful planning for longer or more demanding routes. The removable battery adds convenience for charging, but the average battery efficiency means you might need to recharge more frequently on extended trips.
How practical is the removable battery for charging and storage?
The removable battery is very practical for charging and storage, as it allows you to take the battery indoors to charge it safely or store it separately when not in use. This feature is especially useful for trail riders who may need to recharge the battery in different locations. However, the bike's overall weight and slower charging time should be considered for convenience during longer trips or frequent use.
Does the bike handle rough terrain comfortably?
The Merida eSPRESSO CC 675 EQ is built for trail riding and should handle rough terrain reasonably well, thanks to its mountain bike design and hydraulic disc brakes, which provide confident stopping power on uneven surfaces. However, its higher weight may make it feel less agile on technical trails, and the 55-mile range might require careful planning for longer rides. Overall, it's a solid choice for off-road adventures but may not be the most nimble option for extremely rugged terrain.
Is this bike good value for money compared to similar e-bikes?
The Merida eSPRESSO CC 675 EQ offers a solid balance of performance and features for its price, making it a good value for trail-focused riders. With a 500W motor, strong hydraulic disc brakes, and a removable battery that adds convenience, it delivers reliable off-road performance. While the range is slightly below average and the charging time is slower than some competitors, the bike's overall capabilities and practical features justify its price point for those prioritizing trail riding.
How does the weight of the bike affect its portability and handling?
The Merida eSPRESSO CC 675 EQ weighs 28.57 kg, which is on the heavier side for a mountain e-bike. This makes it less easy to lift or carry, especially when navigating rough terrain or loading it into a vehicle. While the weight provides stability and comfort on trails, it may feel less agile compared to lighter models, particularly when maneuvering through tight spaces or climbing steep sections.
What are the main limitations of this bike for serious off-road use?
This bike is a mountain e-bike, but it has some limitations for serious off-road use. Its 55-mile range may require careful planning for longer rides, and the 28.57 kg weight makes it less easy to lift or maneuver in challenging terrain. While the motor and brakes are adequate for trail riding, the slower charging time and average battery efficiency could be inconvenient for frequent or extended off-road adventures.

The eSPRESSO CC 675 EQ is able to cut it on the mean streets but also handle the sort of terrain that'd scare a regular city e-bike silly. That's because we've paired our stiff, low-step-through ENERGY CRADLE frame design with tough 650b wheels and off-road-ready tyres for extra cushion and grip. With a SR Suntour suspension fork and the powerful assistance of the new Shimano EP6 drive unit and 750 Wh internal battery, it'll keep you going in comfort all day too. Slick shifts from the Shimano 11-speed drivetrain are matched by a powerful performance from the hydraulic disc brakes. We've also added in the convenience of full guards, a rack, lights, lock and a kickstand. The eSPRESSO CC range is the rugged sibling of the regular eSPRESSO CITY, with wider and grippier high-volume tyres on 650b wheels. While it's happy working hard in the urban jungle thanks to standard-fit mudguards, lights, lock, rack and kickstand, it's also capable of taking trips along forest trails and gravel tracks for fun. Models with the low step-through ENERGY CRADLE frame design come with either 630 Wh or 750 Wh fully-integrated batteries, while a more economical semi-integrated frame comes with a 504 Wh battery. All come with a refined but powerful Shimano STEPS pedal-assist motor, including the sporty EP801 unit on some models. Smooth and comfortable progress is assured with suspension forks on all models, while powerful hydraulic disc brakes allow effortless and controlled stopping. All have a high system weight of 150 kg which means plenty of capacity for rider and luggage.
