MERIDA eSPRESSO 575 EQ

Life can feel awfully busy at times, which is why the eSPRESSO 575 EQ is designed to get you where you need to go with a minimum of fuss. The latest Shimano EP6 drive unit is paired with an extra high-capacity 750 Wh battery to give smooth, time-saving pedal-assistance. Whether it's getting across town to see friends, commuting to work or carrying the shopping home, it's equipped to keep you safe and secure thanks to a long list of standard fit accessories, while a suspension fork delivers extra comfort and control. The smooth Shimano 10-speed drivetrain gives a wide range of gears for all kinds of terrain, while powerful hydraulic disc brakes are low maintenance too.

The eSPRESSO 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 EP801 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.
