I just joint the forum. I had a Haibike xduro but I wasn't really happy with it so I sold it and got a Merida eOne Sixty. WOW! That's what I was looking for! A lighter, a more enduro geo type bike, etc so I couldn't be happier.

Welcome to the forums
It's a kick ass bike for a good price, good choice!
Do you have a local Merida dealer or did you blind-order it?

Here is my storie:
When I jumped into eMTB, there was that eye catching blue/orange beauty Haibike on sale. I felt in love with it, although I haevn't really look it up all the details. "It will be perfect for me" - I said. Than soon realized the disadvantage of that specific bike. Was a little high top tube, the wheelbase was short, the centre of gravity was too high, etc..small little details (talkin' about 1-2 cm) but it counts big time.
I saw bike like the Merida and similar, but it was way too expensive for me than....And after 7-8 month riding the Haibike (I had great time with it for sure) I've decided to sell it and look for a a new (or even used) bike which suits me better.
Right after I sold it I saw Merida's with awesome price here in a Budapest store specially one 2017 model was incredibly good price just because 2017 model (which is basically almost the same as 2018-19. 760 mm handle bar instead of 780 like this)
So I was there at the store half hour before opened. Soon it opened, got to the bike (which was already HOLD for someone ) tell them I need that, pay cash right now. They couldn't reach the guy and he's been holding the bike for weeks, so the gave me with a little more discount too
I was sooo sooo happy. Basicaly I changed my Haibike (with suntour) to my dream bike the Merida almost 1:1 ! (100 Euro plus)
Sorry for the long post but I'm still exciting about this deal
