Nice video Alex , nice trails over there. It look nice this new E160 but in my opinion is a lot heavier than the last generation ( I have a Merida E160 700 whit a Fox Factory 38 180 size L) and is just 24.3 kg . The new E160 is around 26.5 -27 kg and I don't understand from where . The battery difference must be max 1 kg between the 630 wh and the 750. Also in size L it feels much smaller than the old one , it feels almost like an M size . I was thinking to buy the new Merida but after the test ride I think I will go with another brand ( Score 6080 z is in my mind now)

Hi Alex, you mentioned it was an XL that you tested. Can I ask how tall you are and how you felt the XL was? I am 6'3" and can't find a demo anywhere here in Oz to test the size on.

[@alexbiketester]

I'm 6' XL was a tad too big. For you probably ideal.

[@rraymakers]

what is the price on these? is it still cheaper to buy a car then an ebike?

[@alexbiketester]

depends on the car... 5000-10000 is guide pricing

So, which one do you prefer the most, the carbon or the aluminum version? Also, what is the bottom bracket height? There is also a new similar to the Merida 875 E160 bike from Marin, the new Alpine Trail E Bosch, would like to see how these two bikes are compared

[@alexbiketester]

The Marin and Merida are the two killer fun options at good prices for 2024...

[@alexbiketester]

The |Carbon one is nice, slightly lighter, but based on what i experienced with teh 875, its a really top option.
