The manuals that come with the bike are useless. However the various Shimano manuals you can download from Shimano (basically what Mikerb provided) are quite good and provide torque, detail assembly and troubleshooting details. Most Merida bike PN's can be found on the Merida catalogue archives...
Looking on the Merida website, noticed a new model e160-775 with a 745KW Simplo battery and charger. Should give a fair bit more range to those that are interested.

The 900e is a great full spec bike but one would think discount would be more than 200euros. Also i assume you could sell the battery. Just a thought that while more expensive, the 9000 offers a lot in suspension upgrade for the money over the 8000, and would probably be cheaper than your...
I've had my cover fall off. Lucky I found it on the trail. They need a small screw/bolt with a washer in the center of the attaching lug to keep the rubber in place.
Winter here wet and muddy. I've used velcro strap saddle bags on my bikes for last 20 years. Very slight wear on the rear of the post (3mm wide X 25mm high where the front of the bag contacts the post. Never had any issues with crotch clearance. Either weight bike or weight on the hips...
Yes it appears basicaly the electrical connections and wire bundles thst push out the cover. Quick solution: I am using black electrical tape stretched over the opening. Muddy wet ride today and tape held up well. No dirt in the space under the cover. Not sure how long it will last but a...
Good points. Full rear travel is 150 and I have 140 to the guard so yes on a massive hit it may buzz the tire. If i use the Ergon saddle and mount i gain 15 mm so clears even a bottom out by 5mm stress that this is using my height setting for the dropper post. Used these types of bags for...
No the velcro around the post just slides up and scrunches a little to accomodate. One note is if you have the Merida saddle, and its placed forward on the mount, the bag sits lower in the front. but dropper still goes to bottom. If you have an Ergon saddle, Ergon provides you with a Topek...
I use a saddlebag, (under seat) Topek SIDEKICK STW WEDGE PACK. A Tube, 2ea CO2, and the compact inflator fit very comfortably on one side and the toolkit it comes with fit very well on the other.
This may be me being a bit pedantic. I just purchased a 20 e160-9000. I installed an invisiframe kit out of the box which allowed me to have a close inspection of the bike. I noticed a small gap between the frame and the top of the plastic motor cover. I removed the cover to see if I could...
