Merida eSpresso City 300EQ SE Step Through Hybrid Electric Bike 2021 – Silk Green
New for 2021, Merida return with their eSpresso City 300EQ SE hybrid Electric Bike, finished in a lovely Silk Green.
Coming back every year that little bit more refined. If you're after a reliable transport companion that aspires confidence through build quality, with features to make that commute or rural adventure a joy, a means to replace that expensive, polluting car you're been barely justifying for years. Merida eSpresso is definately the place to start.
Based around a Hydroformed step through frame to ensure easy mounting, with comfort geometry, front suspension forks and suspension seat post making a long day in the saddle a breeze.
Designed for all walks of life, coping just as well on a beaten rural track as it does on the paved city streets. Merida have included a broad Shimano Altus M2000 gearing system and responsive Shimano MT-200 hydraulic disc brakes to aspire confidence whatever the conditions, and with front/rear mudguards and sturdy rear rack, you're all set for one hell of an adventure.
Shimano Steps E5000 Powered
The heart of the eSpresso City 300 lies with it's Shimano Steps E5000 crank driven motor. Offering 40Nm torque with easilty switchable power assist modes, the E5000 is Shimano's lightest motor to date at only 2.5KG, and with virtually silent, seamless power delivery, it would seem this motor is perfectly suited. Ready for all weather conditions, so you're never left high & dry.
Powering the motor, you'll find a 418Wh Shimano E8014 battery, neatly situated on the seat tube for a balanced centre of gravity. Capable of up to 40 miles from a full charge.
Prolite 66 Triple Butted Aluminum
Our proven high-end aluminium (6066) is extremely light and durable. Using triple butted wall thicknesses and hydroforming technology, we can tune the aluminium tubes to give the best possible stiffness to weight ratio.
HFS – Hydro Forming System
Tubes are inserted into negative moulds and a hot emulsion of water and oil is forced through at pressure, enabling them to be formed into complex shapes.
Di2 Ready
Bikes/frames with the symbol ‘Di2 Ready’ are prepared for the installation of Di2 technology with battery mounting in the seat post or within the fork steerer.
Internal Cable Routing
Cables are routed through the frame, entering and exiting through smooth sockets. The bike looks neat, whilst the cables are protected from moisture and dirt.

ABUS Integrated Security
Attached to the rear of the frame, Merida have included an Abus 5650 LH-3 wheel lock, so no more lugging a heavy cable lock about.
F-Mount
'F-Mount’ equipped bikes have integrated fittings for mud guards (some bikes require model specific mud guards), making fitting fast and simple.
C-Mount
‘C-Mount’ equipped bikes have the fixing points for a rear rack already integrated (some bikes require model specific rear rack), making fitting fast, simple and reliable.
X-Taper Headtube
Our X-Tapered headtube offers the space for a tapered fork to be fitted. Tapered forks offer superb stiffness and precise and deliver confidence-inspiring steering.
Smart Entry
Cables, housings and brake hoses are clamped under tension to prevent rattling when the trails or roads get rough. All inlets are completely interchangeable to deal with Di2, hydraulic hoses, brake cable and gear cable housings etc.
Smooth Welding
Sometimes called ‘double pass welding’, a second pass over the weld gives a clean organic look to the frame. At first glance, you will be convinced it is carbon.
