Merida eSpresso L 700 EQ Bike - 2022

Getting around the city shouldn't be a drag - and with the eSPRESSO L 700 EQ, it never will be. Even if you're on your way to work, coming back fully laden from the shops or just off to visit friends, our high-quality aluminium frame paired with refined Shimano E6100 drive unit and long-lasting 630 Wh battery will make it easy. The low-maintenance Shimano Nexus hub gear delivers huge gear range options without the complexity of a traditional drivetrain, while hydraulic disc brakes offer predictable power in all conditions. The eSPRESSO L range is the perfect partner for urban riding, offering comfort and practicality. Standard-fit mudguards, lights, lock, rack and kickstand mean you’re ready to go from the moment you leave the shop. Choose between frames with internally mounted batteries of either 750 Wh, 630 Wh or 504 Wh capacity or a more economical, 504 Wh semi-integrated design. All use a range of powerful Shimano STEPS drive units, with the option of the sporty EP8 motor on some models. Low step-through frame options on all models help ease mounting and dismounting. Suspension forks offer improved control, while powerful hydraulic disc brakes give reliable and controllable stopping power in all weather conditions. The 700c wheels have wide 50 mm tyres for extra grip and comfort, plus reflective sidewalls strips improve rider safety in low light. Internally routed cables give a sleek look, while a 150 kg maximum system weight means plenty of carrying capacity.
