Merida Espresso CC 500 EQ - Metallic Black

Size

The Espresso CC range is the rugged sibling of the regular Espresso City, with powerful motors, large capacity batteries and grippier high-volume tyres on 650b wheels. While it's happy working hard in the urban jungle thanks to standard-fit mudguards, lights, lock, rack and kickstand, it's also capable of taking trips along forest trails and gravel tracks for fun. 

Rugged enough for the countryside, tough enough for the city. The Espresso CC 500 EQ pairs the new, powerful Shimano EP6 drive unit with a 630Wh battery that sits in Merida’s Energy Cradle frame design. It combines the convenience of an external battery with the looks of an internal battery in order to keep the handling safe and secure. Smooth and comfortable progress is assured with the Suntour 80mm travel suspension fork and reliable Shimano drivetrain, while powerful hydraulic disc brakes allow effortless and controlled stopping. Offering a high system weight of 150 kg which means plenty of capacity for rider and luggage. 

Features 

  • Powerful 630Wh battery for long rides
  • Smooth and efficient Shimano motor assistance
  • Robust frame designed for trekking adventures
  • Integrated lights and fenders for safety
  • Comfortable geometry for extended journeys
