Merida eSPRESSO CITY 700 EQ 2022 electric bike image 01

Overview

The Merida eSPRESSO CITY 700 EQ is a well-rounded commuter bike designed for urban riding, offering a comfortable and practical experience with its smooth motor support and reliable hydraulic disc brakes. Its removable battery adds convenience for charging and storage, while the built-in lights make it ready for everyday use. However, the bike's charging time is notably slow, and its weight may make it slightly harder to lift when needed. While it handles typical city terrain well, it may struggle on steep hills due to its moderate torque, making it better suited for flat or gently rolling routes.
