Merida eSPRESSO CITY 500 EQ 2022 electric bike image 01

Overview

The Merida eSPRESSO CITY 500 EQ is a mountain bike designed for trail use, offering smooth motor support and reliable braking for varied terrain. Its torque sensor ensures a natural power feel, while the removable battery adds convenience for charging and storage. However, it may struggle on steep hills due to lower torque, and its 45 km range might limit longer rides. Weighing 27.5 kg, it feels sturdy but less easy to lift, which could be a consideration for frequent porters or urban users.
