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 assist changes are needed as the torque sensor responds so quickly. Transition points are much smoother and you don’t get that sudden change in power when you shift assist levels or reach 25kph. I can take hills at lower assist levels and my regular 45kms ride uses noticeably less battery power. Very impressed with this bike already.

Does that side stand tie the seat stay to the chain stay? It looks like it does... but it is hard to make out the picture?

FYI, there is a pivot on these two parts above the rear axel and they need to move independently

The bottom stay is bolted, the top stay has an open yoke connector so it can move independently.

I picked up the same bike last week. So far so good! Will probably swap out the saddle and handlebars as they just don't suit my riding style.

Its called the Thule Pack 'n Rack, and the side frames are also by Thule. Great for keeping panniers off the wheels.
