Store CollectionWhilst we love eBikes here at Scotby Cycles, they do tend to need a little more after-sales support than conventional bikes. To enable us to provide the best after-sales support to our customers we have decided to no longer ship eBikes, you can of course still order an eBike from our website but only for collection from our retail store. |
The eSpresso City 300 EQ is an extremely versatile e-bike rolling on fast 700c tyres, perfect for use in town, on gravel tracks or cycle paths.
The battery is mounted low to keep the centre of gravity down and tapered head tubes deliver confidence-inspiring handling. The eSpresso 300 EQ is a stylish hybrid eBike fully equipped with mudguards, rack, kickstand, lock and lights the eSpresso 300 EQ uses a Shimano Steps 5000 series 40NM motor and 418W battery.
Model Highlights
Fast-Rolling 700c Wheels
All eSPRESSO e-bikes roll-on fast-rolling 700c wheels, ideal for rides on roads, lanes and smooth tracks. Merida fit tyres with reflective sidewalls and puncture protection that will get you to your destination quickly and safely. However, their 'classic' eSPRESSO frames can also take 650B wheels if desired.
Ready to Go
The eSpresso City 300 EQ SE comes equipped with mudguards, lights, lock, rear rack and a kickstand, making them ready for anything from the moment you leave the store.
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. All MERIDA e-bikes, as well as all used componentry, go through a rigorous and e-bike specific testing schedule which mimics the higher forces and strains to guarantee the rider the highest level of safety.
Internal Cable Routing
Merida features internal cable routing on all eSPRESSO bikes. Cables are routed through the frame, entering and exiting through smooth sockets. Only a clever system for our internal guiding and fixing guarantees reliable and rattle free routing, whilst the cables are protected from moisture and dirt and gives the bike a cleaner look.
Smart Entry
Cables, housings and brake hoses are clamped under tension to prevent rattling when the trail gets rough. All inlets are completely interchangeable to deal with Di2, hydraulic hoses, brake cable and gear cable housings etc for later upgrades.

Stock Availability
Unlike our competitors, many of which don't actually have a significant proportion of the products they list online available in stock in their own warehouses, these stores depend on suppliers being able to provide products quickly on demand which in these trying times is a bit of a gamble.
For this reason we now only sell products we actually have in stock and know we can provide rather than just 'SIM' feeding product availability from suppliers.
Click & Collect
If you are local to our area (Carlisle), you can collect your order from our store at your convenience. Collection is free of charge no matter how big or small the order value and you'll be able to collect your order from our store usually within 2hrs on weekdays.
Please note that at this time Click & Collect is not available if you're using an accelerated checkout such as Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal. Sorry.

Secure Delivery
For security purposes, we regrettably can no longer ship to forwarding centres, PO Boxes and locker boxes. For some items such as bikes and electric scooters, these can only be delivered to the billing address, no change of address or in-transit redirection is permitted for any consignments.
Easy Returns
If an item doesn't fit, or isn't quite what you expected then simply fill out the enclosed returns form and return your unwanted items to us within 28 days for a full refund, we'll accept orders returned to us after this period with refunds made via gift vouchers for use against future orders. Unfortunately, we're unable to cover the costs of returning items to us.
For further information please see our Refund Policy for further details.
Bike Delivery
Unfortunately we only have a contract to ship large consignments to MAINLAND UK addresses, if you live in the Highlands or on an offshore Isle please get in touch prior to purchasing as we can arrange for an ad hoc collection with Parcelforce for a fee - see details at the bottom of this section for details.
We aim to have all the bikes we stock pre-built and available for immediate purchase online and for in-store collection, once you have ordered a bike from us one of our fully trained Cytech mechanics will package your bike into one of our custom built boxes.
These extra-large boxes allow us to ship most bikes almost fully assembled but before we do so our mechanics will carry out a PDI (pre-delivery inspection) on the bike to ensure that before it's prepared for shipping everything is set up correctly, e.g. brakes, gear indexing etc.
Upon receiving your bike, you will simply need to take your new bike out of the box, turn and tighten the handlebars and fit one of the pedal (if your bike comes with pedals). In some instances, such as for road bikes, you may also need to attach the handlebars as they're too wide to simply be rotated so they'll be secured to the side of the frame with zip ties.
If you live outside of MAINLAND UK or in any of the postcodes listed below we can most likely still ship a bike to you but please get in touch as the surcharges we're billed by the courier vary from location to location.
Postcodes: AB, FK, HS, IV, KA, KW, PA, PH, ZE, IM, BT and GU, JE.
