Merida

The Merida eSpresso CC 400 EQ blends the comfort of a city e-bike with the confidence of a light off-road hybrid. It is ideal for riders who want one bike for commuting, shopping, weekend exploring and mixed-surface paths.

Powered by Shimano’s smooth and reliable EP6 drive unit, the eSpresso CC 400 EQ delivers strong assistance for hills, headwinds and longer rides. The integrated 504Wh battery keeps the frame looking clean while offering practical range for daily use.

The low step-through alloy frame makes getting on and off easy, especially when carrying bags or riding in traffic. Suspension up front, wider 27.5” tyres and an adjustable riding position help keep the ride stable and comfortable across rougher roads, bike paths and gravel shortcuts.

It also comes fully equipped with the gear most riders end up adding later — mudguards, rear rack, lights, kickstand and frame lock — making it ready to ride from day one.

Whether you are commuting across town, replacing short car trips or exploring further on the weekend, the Merida eSpresso CC 400 EQ is a practical, comfortable and capable electric hybrid.

Why we like it

The eSpresso CC 400 EQ is a great option for riders who want comfort and practicality without giving up capability. The Shimano EP6 motor gives it proper hill-climbing power, which matters in Hobart, and the fully equipped build means you do not need to spend extra straight away on commuting essentials.

It is not just a city bike. The wider tyres, suspension fork and upright position make it much more confident on mixed surfaces than a basic flat-bar commuter.

Best suited for

• Daily commuting
• Hobart hills and mixed surfaces
• Bike paths and rail trails
• Shopping and errands
• Riders wanting an easy step-through frame
• Comfortable recreational riding
• Replacing short car trips
