    Display unit on new Merida EP8

    If your eyesight ain’t great you won’t like the stupid tiny B & W display unit on the new Merida eOne Sixty EP8. In daylight, for me, it’s like having black tape across the screen. Even in low light I can’t see the power assist font. Shimano seems too quiet about the option of the bigger...

    Merida 2021 eOne Sixty 8000 EP8 Carbon

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Merida 2021 eOne Sixty Carbon 8000 EP8. This is my third eOne Sixty so I have a baseline for comparison. It’s not just a motor upgrade but completely new power curve ergonomics. The motor is quiet and torque response smooth and proportionate to pedal load. Less gear and power...

    New Merida SC-E7000 Display Unit

    Just got my 2021 Merida eOne Sixty EP8 and had my first ride at 45kms. This bike has not just been upgraded but it has a completely different power curve and is much more power efficient. But there is one component that is very disappointing for a premium bike: the SC-E700 Display Unit has been...

    Reversing a mullet

    As a 70 yr old dude my eOne Sixty is set up for long tours, not track work. I had the 2018 model, now have the 2020, and a 2021 order has landed and I should have it soon. The two main mods I've asked for is a Di2 system and swapping a 27.5 for the front 29'er. I want to reduce the overall...

    Shimano BT-E8035 spare battery available

    Bought this as a spare on 27 Feb (from Syd Elec Bikes) and now do not need it as I'm upgrading to the 2021 eOne Sixty. Very little use, maybe 30 recharges. Ad on Gumtree or msg if you are looking for one, for pickup near Manly Sydney.

    Fitting Di2 electronic shifters to eOne Sixty 8000

    Hey all; does anyone have any experience with the Di2 system on an eOne Sixty 8000? I know that means going to an 11 speed cassette which is not a big deal for me as I set up for comfortable touring. Richard

    Shimano eTube Project failures

    Hi all; just got a 2020 Merida eOne Sixty 8000 and have tried multiple, multiple, times to connect via the Bluetooth eTube Project software. Version 3.4.4 is the latest, but it repeatedly fails to find my display unit. My iPad can find it via its own Bluetooth, but the Shimano App seems...

    Fitting oversize tyres

    I'm thinking of putting 3" Maxxis Chronicles on a Merida with 27.5 rear and 29 front. The Maxxis site says these tyres need a minimum of 40mm inner rim width but the current wheels have 30mm. The current tyres are 2.5 rear and 2.6 front and there is ample room to wider 3" tyres. Does anyone see...

    EARTH ANT 4 INCH FAT TYRE FOLDING E-BIKE

    Does anyone have any experience, positive or negative, with the Earth Ant range of ebikes? I'm looking for a second bike (I have the Merida eOne Sixty 800) that has fat rubber and can be folded into the boot of my car.

    Noise from Merida eOne Sixty 800

    My eOne Sixty 800 has done 4,500kms and its been a joy to ride, butI cannot find information about when they need servicing. A pulsing harmonic noise has appeared only when applying pedal torque. I have an mp4 file of the sound but cannot attach it here. Has anyone experienced this? What was...

    Hey, from an old Aussie

    So much great info on these forums; glad to join in. Now that I'm retired I indulge my passion for ebike touring. I rode over 8,000kms last year, most of it on a Merida eOne Sixty 800. It is set up for long distance rides, with 3" fatties, a super-gel saddle, and a Thudbuster which further...
