The Merida eBig Tour 600 EQ is an electric bike which allows you to experience mountain bike trekking at its best. The eBig Tour combines mountain bike design with trekking at the core of the riding experience on this bike. The alloy frame is based on the eBig Nine Frame which is light and tough with a more upright geometry, yet matched with a Suntour XCR34 LOR DS Fork with 100mm travel for added comfort. The integrated Shimano STePS E8036 630 Wh Battery is centrally located for an optimised centre of gravity and it charges in under 6 hours, with a 25% increase in capacity over previous models. Merida's Energy Twist Guard protects your battery and gives you easy access to the battery thanks to the tool-less locking, finished off with a satellite charging port at the down tube/seat tube junction for easy access. The Shimano EP8 Drive Unit packs a bigger punch with 85 Nm and is also lighter by 300 grams for a swift ride which is quieter and smaller with a 36% reduction in drag.

You'll be hard pressed to find a weak spot on this bike, kitted out with Shimano Deore Shifters and rear derailleur for a smooth operation. While the Shimano MT402 2 Piston Hydraulic Disc Brakes give you the reliable control you need over a heavier e-bike, especially if you load this bike up for the full trekking experience. The wider 29x2.2” Kenda Booster Tyres help give you a more comfortable ride, offering a good mix of traction and speed. As a touring bike the eBig Tour comes loaded with front and rear lights, kickstand, water bottle mounts, fenders and a rear rack to meet all of your needs. The Merida eBig Tour 600 EQ is one of the most capable touring bikes on the market, matching advanced e-bike technology with a comfortable and practical design which riders will love.

Features

More Range & Power: Shimano's EP8 motor offers a perfectly balanced power delivery with up to 85 Nm and has further improved on size, weight, noise and motor drag. The new 630 Wh battery is perfectly integrated into the hydroformed down tube and delivers an impressive range for even longer detours home.

Go Big & Go Bold: The eBIG.TOUR EQ is rolling on 29er wheels which have fantastic ‘rolling over obstacles’ behaviour. As standard, it comes equipped with 2.2" wide tyres which offer plenty of grip and comfort. 

Water Carrier: The eBIG.TOUR EQ frame offers the possibility to fit a water bottle or further accessories like a lock or pump in two different positions. One is on the top of the down tube, while a second is below the top tube. This gives the rider, besides the possibility to mount bottle cages, the option to mount for example a folding-lock or pump bracket. 

System Weight: The system weight of a bike is the combined weight of bike, rider and additional luggage. The allowed system weight is 140 kg. As an e-bike is already heavier than a regular bike, and as it also makes it easier to transport larger amounts of luggage, it is imperative to certify a higher overall system weight.

Get The Right Travel: 100 mm up front offers lots of comfort while having plenty of reserves when you choose a more ‘off-road’ route home. Ultimately e-MTBs encourage the rider to go ‘off the beaten track’ whenever possible.
