electric gravel bike

Industry type：Transportation

Product model number：eSILEX

MERIDA INDUSTRY CO., Ltd.

It is about how Merida makes eSILEX from an ordinary product to be a premium electric gravel bike and features more value for money. Eventually the sleek design is so successful that eSILEX is honored with "Design & Innovation Award 2021" in Germany and also the award of "Best Price-Performance" e gravel bike judged by Radfahren.de.

As indicated by the above mentioned organizations, it is the clear appearance the most compelling from eSILEX. That is the result partly from an unique “wire port system" applied. Also, a compact Mahle X35+ rear hub motor unit is almost invisibly integrated into the frame and does its duties quietly and reliably while the battery is build-in and an one-touch switch is beautifully fitted into the top tube.

More added value: the integrations of wide tires, oversized head tube + tapered fork, comfort-oriented frame geometry offer extremely stable ride feeling, while lots of mounting points for luggage & mudguards extend the use to all types of ride.

Over 50 years ago, Taiwan-made bicycles were often seen as low quality, with U.S. shops even refusing to service them. During a business trip to the U.S., MERIDA’s founder, Mr. Ike Tseng, witnessed this firsthand. Determined to restore confidence in Taiwan's manufacturing, he founded MERIDA in 1972 with a focus on engineering precision and quality craftsmanship. Initially an OEM producer, MERIDA launched its own brand in 1988 and gained success in Europe. From 2000, it began sponsoring elite athletes, forming its MTB team in 2003 and later entering WorldTour road racing. That same year, MERIDA and Giant jointly initiated the A-Team alliance to strengthen Taiwan’s bicycle supply chain. MERIDA embraced e-bikes early, producing its first in 1995. In 2024, e-bikes accounted for 42% of Taiwan’s exports. That year, MERIDA was also named Taiwan’s 13th Best Global Brand. Today, MERIDA continues to drive innovation, blending German-Taiwan R&D to deliver bikes trusted by riders worldwide.
