The Merida eSpresso 400 S EQ is a versatile electric hybrid bike that pairs Shimano’s reliable touring and commuting focused E6100 drive unit with the powerful Shimano E8035 downtube integrated battery, built around a comfortable and efficient frame platform. The two-component battery cover offers a softer outer layer, which reduces noise, seals the downtube perfectly and absorbs hits from debris easily, while the harder inner layer gives it a solid structural shape. Fast rolling 700c wheels are fitted with reliable Continental Ride Cruiser Tyres with puncture protection. The Suntour NEX front fork offers 63mm of travel, to swallow up any curbs or potholes along the way, while the Shimano Hydraulic Disc Brakes offer precise brake control in any weather conditions. Cables are all internally routed, ensuring a clean appearance and rattle free ride. The EQ means this bike comes equipped with front and rear lights, a kickstand, rear rack, full mudguards and an Abus 5650 frame lock.
