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. 

The Espresso CC EQ 675 can cut it on the mean streets but also handle the sort of terrain that'd scare a regular city e-bike silly. That's because Merida paired their stiff, low-step-through Energy Cradle frame design with tough 650b wheels and off-road-ready tyres for extra cushion and grip. With a SR Suntour suspension fork and the powerful assistance of the new Shimano EP6 drive unit with 85Nm of torque and powerful 750Wh internal battery, it'll keep you going in comfort all day too. Slick shifts from the Shimano 11-speed drivetrain are matched by a powerful performance from the hydraulic disc brakes. Plus, they’ve also added in the convenience of full guards, a rack, lights, lock and a kickstand.
