Merida eSPRESSO 500 EQ

The Merida eSPRESSO 500 EQ is a super comfy touring ebike with lots to offer any budding cyclist.

Shimano E6100, High Torque 60Nm Motor

The eSpresso features the fabulous Shimano STEPs E6100 high torque motor. Delivering a gutsy 60Nm of torque, the E6100 weighs in at only 2.88kg. As a result, hill-climbing has never been easier! Building on the success of its predecessor, the E6000, this new motor is over 200g lighter. In addition, it’s quieter too! It gets better still as the new motor/battery combination saves energy and delivers 20% more range than the E6000!

Like all Merida ebikes featuring Shimano drives, the eSPRESSO 500 has a long range 630Wh Shimano battery. Full integration within the frame maintains sleek lines, with access on and off the bike remaining very easy. It’s low center of gravity is favoured by many. Tidy and neat, the eSPRESSO is a very easy on the eye.

Shimano’s LCD is bright and clear. There are a number of display options. The traditional mode provides info on speed, distance, trip time, clock, gear, estimated range, battery indication, and more. Further options include wireless connectivity via Bluetooth to a smartphone or 3rd party, such as Garmin. The most simplistic mode simply shows battery life and support mode.

Long Range, Super Comfy

Everything about the eSPRESSO 500 EQ is designed for ease and luxury. The eSPRESSO 500 comes with front and rear mudguards, rear rack and top of the range LCD lighting. Long tours and lazy days out is what the eSPRESSO is all about. Powerful on climbs, the 10-speed Shimano derailleur gearing ensures optimum performance. In addition, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes on 180mm rotors are responsive and effective for great stopping power.

If you’re looking for a long range, comfortable touring bike utilising the very latest technology and fantastic looks, then the eSPRESSO 500 EQ is very worthy of consideration.

How do I measure my height?

With your shoes off, stand upright against a wall, with your shoulders back and legs together. Use a pencil to make a small mark on the wall above your head (make sure you hold the pencil parallel to the floor). Then measure from the floor to your mark, in centimetres or feet and inches.

How do I measure my inside leg length?

With your shoes off, stand upright with your back against a wall. Place a book/ruler between your legs, level with your crotch. Then measure from the floor to the top of the book/ruler, in centimetres or feet and inches (it’s easier if a friend helps).

Q & A

Do all brands of ebike use the same unit of measurement?

No. Most brands show sizing in centimetres, however some use a S/M/L system, and others use inches. The table above includes all of these variations to help you find the right size.

Which size should I go for if I'm in between those listed?

If your measurements suggest that you have a choice of two different sizes, then in the end it’s a personal choice. Here are some rules of thumb to consider: Touring/Trekking ebikes - choose the smaller size. It is possible to make a smaller frame bigger (for example, by raising the saddle or fitting a longer the stem), whereas if the frame itself is too big for you, it’s likely to be less comfortable and won't feel right. eMTBs - choose the larger size. You’ll find an eMTB with a slightly larger frame easier to handle than one that feels cramped. You can always fit a shorter stem if necessary to reduce the reach to the handlebars.

How are ebike frame sizes measured?

An electric bike’s frame size is calculated by measuring the distance from the top of the seat tube (where the seat post inserts), to the centre of the front chainring. Sizing Guide
