22 Merida Espresso Urban 300 UQ – Strawberry (Black) S

The eSPRESSO URBAN 300 EQ is a new breed of city bike that pairs the assistance of a hub-drive motor with a sleek, low step-through frame design that’s virtually indistinguishable from a non-assisted bike. It’s also much lighter than a regular e-bike, making it ideal for city living, though there’s plenty of range from the internal 250 Wh battery and the low-drag motor means pedalling over the assistance limit is easy. It’s fully kitted out as standard too, with full mudguards, rack, lights, lock and a kickstand, plus a suspension fork and seat post for extra comfort. The smooth-shifting Shimano drivetrain is paired with powerful hydraulic disc brakes for excellent control too.

New for 2022 is the eSPRESSO URBAN, which offers an even lighter weight package than the rest of the eSPRESSO range thanks to the use of a highly efficient, low-drag MAHLE ebikemotion X35+ hub mounted motor system and 250 Wh integrated battery. It delivers natural feeling support and is easy to pedal above the assistance limit, making it perfect for sporty riders after a sleek and slimline alternative. Thanks to the slimmed down tubing that houses the internal 250 Wh battery, the low step-through frame design gives even more clearance when mounting or dismounting. You can even use an externally mounted 208 Wh MAHLE Range Extender to boost range. Add in the fact it comes fully equipped with mudguards, rack, lock, lights and a kickstand and it’s your ideal city companion.
