His is a large so probably too big. At least with an e bike you can see how many km the motor has done, but they are pretty thin on the ground at the moment.
Hi Uncle, whereabouts in NZ are you?
Any of those 3 are will be great, I'm on a Merida E-120 and it's great for what I need and wouldn't hesitate to recommend a Merida.
Hi Carlos,
I have a medium E120 800 and am the same height as you. according to these to geometries there is only a 5mm difference in reach.
I don't think it would be too big for you as you can move the seat around and play with different stem lengths...
Hi guys,
I have been offered some wheels off a new e140 (basic Merida TR 30mm id) and am wondering if it is worth replacing my current set - again basic Merida TR but a 40mm rim.
I have changed the 2.8 tyres for 2.5 so thinking the new rims might suit the tyres better? Also going to a 29er up...

What I like about it is you can tailer eco, trail and boost depending on your preference and for the most part trail is heaps.
I would...
Looks pretty good Rob and I agree the all black one doesn't look that great. The red on the 140 Ltd Ed I think is even better than the green.

Having an external battery I would take a look at last years bikes and see what sort of deals there are, the two below are probably better specced:
Merida eOne Sixty 800 E-Mountain Bike Silk Titan Black (2019)
and if you can squeeze a little more:
Merida eOne Sixty 900 E-Mountain Bike Red/Black...
