  • Merida's Mahle powered E-gravel bike is a distinctively light, quiet and practical ride but how does it handle on a mix of trails and road? Find out by joining me on a live gravel ride review.
    Thanks to Giro Cycling UK and Crud products for sponsoring the channel, Merida for sending the bike in for test and for my Patreon supporters for their monthly pledges.

    Cykling that fast on a tiny trail with pedestrians and dogwalkers would have cost me my life in my country. People would have gone crazy if I was to ride like that...

      They generally would in the UK as well. I'd never ride that fast down a narrow trail full of dog walkers.

      Where were the pedestrians? Good on him, had every right to use the trail as safely as he did.

    3:30 "Zero" removable system. Which system is this? I think that might be the best system for me.

    Great review.. I've looked at this bike and like it a lot, but not sure it has enough pedal assist for me on the hills (68yr old) ..Its defiantly a gravel bike I'm after... Any ideas ?

      I’m starting testing a Cairn E gravel bike tomorrow so that could be a good option. Watch this space

    • @JC-un4bg

      I think it depends more on how heavy you are mid drives are better for heavy riders. But mid drives are harder to pedals out of assistance

      My wife, just a few years younger than you finds MAHLE X35 to be enough, even in the Italian Alps. I just bought one so I can keep up at 68 years myself!

    Hello. I have a question or two. How tall are you, what is your inseam and what frame size do you ride? I'm hesitating between M and L. Greetings Tristan

    What mile range did you get from one full battery charge?

    • @wladmanzi007
      @wladmanzi007 Рік тому

      No Answer... I would have the same question... Thanks😉!

    • @bitsandblocks7826

      I have this bike, love it. Range will vary a lot with your weight, number of hills and assistance mode used. I'm 200lbs and typically get between 40-60 miles riding mostly in eco mode (single battery). This bike is perfectly rideable with no assistance to get home so I have no range anxiety.

      @GuyKesTV  Рік тому

    Is the battery accessible at all so it can be replaced at a later date?

    • @GuyKesTV
      @GuyKesTV  3 роки тому +1

      Yes but it’s a shop job really as various bits need removing
