Hey mate, where in Melbourne are you? I'm in Camberwell. We have a pair of Merida E160's on order arriving in December. A couple of guys here in Melbourne. Where you riding?
Think you're kind of missing the point. How often are you drag racing uphill? I read somewhere that over 90% of people only use Eco and Trail so how relevant is the max power issue? How much more important is reliability, integration, noise, feeling?
I'm dying to get my hands on my Merida e-One...
Anyone use Bikesure? Got a combined contents and two E160's totalling $20,000 for $1,480 per annum. No depreciation and worldwide cover. Great for when we want to take the bikes to NZ and Europe / America.
Any 3 apart from the Levo. I just don't see the value in them for the money you pay. Much better value out there. A great bike but $$$.
FWIW i just bought the 2021 e-ONE SIXTY 9000 for the same price as what you get a Levo Comp for and it's got the following over the Levo

10mm more travel and a slacker head angle means sweet fa in the real world to everyday people. The Essential build spec didn't do it for me and the 9000 represented much better value for what I got it for. Plus I don't have to wait until next year.
Well after 2 months of going Levo, YT Decoy, Commencal Meta 29, I put down a deposit on the e160 9000 for me and 8000 for the girlfriend. Delivery mid November in Aus. Cannot wait now!
It's got the EP8 and 630wh battery. My budget put me in line with the Essential and this 9000 blows the Essential out of the park spec wise. Plus I got a great deal on it.

So i got a good deal on a Merida e160 9000 and they're arriving in Australia in October. Commencal were saying January for a Meta Essential and the spec on the e160 9000 blows the Meta Essential out of the water. Now working a two bike deal so my girlfriend can get the 8000.

Guess is US prices are exclusive of tax. They have a state based tax whereas here in Australia it's a flat 10% gst. Should buy one in America and get it sent here haha
Is it just me but is the SX a better bike than the 29 Essential? I want the
I was ready to pull the trigger on a 29 Team at or around the old price. Now it's gone up by that much?
New motor looks the goods too apart from the noise when free wheeling. I thought the 29 team was a shoe in. Now...
