I think the same guy does a much tougher one but it was thicker and looked(to me) like it reduced ground clearance. NB they may not be connected at all 160 bashguard

I bought one of these a few weeks ago. Fairly easy to fit and remove if required. I've ridden a couple of hundred km and all well

Don't Merida own a large chunk of Specialized(49%?) so I wonder if the new bike will share tech from the Levo

Take this with a pinch of salt but I've just heard from a Merida rep that the new 160s will have will have an internal down tube battery. Very vague on other details but he seemed very sure of this

F2f Teflon spray I meant as it's a lubricant. Just a wee squirt around where the crank goes into the motor works for me. I think wd40 has a little too much degreaser

I sometimes get a "dry" rubbing sound on one side on the pedal downstroke. Wee squirt of silcone spray and it goes away. Is there excessive play in the cranks? I believe a few e8000 motors have crank movement and a creaky noise and have been replaced on warranty link E8000 play/noise

Yes, indeed. Ebikes are a huge boost to the cycle industry but they need to back up the dealers and customers a little more.

Looks great in red, what shock is that?

if it's standard practice then it stinks and is shocking customer service. When the windscreen wiper motor broke on my Subaru within warranty Subaru replaced it they didn't tell me it was nothing to do with them and to contact Bosch. I expected more of Merida. Madison appear to have a monopoly...

Yes a UK dealer, small shop but a great place. He's gone out of his way to help me on numerous occasions. Merida basically said nothing to do with them contact Madison.

Maybe I was just unlucky. I love the 160 and the e8000 but it's put me off another Merida or Shimano motored bike for the meantime

I have a Merida e160 with over 5000km on it and its been fautless other than the charger packing up. My dealer was great but Merida basically didnt want to know telling me it was a Shimano part and covered by their warranty. On the one hand that means any Shimano dealer can assist you however...

Are you in the correct gear? I find if I stop in the lowest gear and use walk mode its too slow so need to change up a couple of gears to suit my pace

Any of you 800e owners upgraded your brakes? If so what do you get?

I've managed over 8000km this year with just under 6000km on this bike and the bike has been faultless other than consumables ie couple of sets of tyres and pads and one broken spoke. I bought a second battery so the load has been split between two batteries but both are still good with no...

Just joined the forum but had my bike for over a year now and all well

I bought this neoprene calf support from Amazon for £8.99 its just the right size to fit over the battery in situ and appears to improve the range at colder temps.
