Comments
The Merida eBIG Nine 300SE is a mid-drive bike that didn't feel as powerful as expected. We had to use the maximum pedal assist of the motor to feel comfortable going up hills. Overall comfort was not high, with the bike feeling a bit more rigid than most, and its handlebar grips lacked softness and contours.
