Elcykel Merida eONE-FORTY 4000

Carbon front triangle with integrated battery technology, paired with 6016 rear end with aggressive enduro/trail geometry and 133 mm rear wheel travel – Shimano STePS E8000/E7000 motors allow for short chain stays delivering agility. Internal cable guide for rattle free running. Full carbon motor bracket creates an integrated appearance of the motor into the frame as well as provides an extremely strong connection between frame and motor.

A two-component battery cover, which offers perfect protection for the internal battery. The softer (outer) layer reduces noises, seals the downtube perfectly and absorbs hits from trail debris easily, while the harder (inner) layer ensures that the battery does not get damaged and gives it the structural shape. All critical parts like the rubber strap and o-rings for perfect fitting can be replaced.

First introduced in our 2015 NINETY-SIX, the new version of the ’Internal Block’ is incorporated directly in the frame and prevents the fork crown from hitting the carbon frame in case of a crash or an extreme steering angle. As an extra protection, there are additional rubber bumpers on the frame to avoid any frame damage from the fork crown.

To give the eONE-SIXTY precise steering, fantastic ‘rolling over obstacles’ behaviour yet maximum traction, we have combined a 29er front wheel with a 2.5″ tyre and a 650B rear wheel, equipped with a slightly wider 2.6″ tyre. The perfect combination of precision, playfulness and traction.

Specifically located openings on the carbon eONE-SIXTY models near the head tube which work like a chimney and allow the warm air to dissipate to guarantee the optimum operating temperature of the internal battery. The ’Thermo Gate’ enables the battery to perform at its best, in any condition.

Due to the integrated battery, we were able to offer water bottle cage fixing points, allowing bottles of up to 0.75l to be fitted into the main frame triangle. Great if you want to keep your back free of hydration packs and backpacks.
