Industry type:Transportation
Product model number:eSILEX
MERIDA INDUSTRY CO., Ltd.
award 2

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.

It was more than half a century ago in a trip to the United States, when Mr. Ike Tseng, an engineer and businessman from Taiwan, was overwhelmed by an infamous sign stood at the front door of a bike shop saying no repair was for Taiwan-made bicycles because of their awful quality. That sign since triggered Ike’s ambition to focus on the production of high-quality bicycles when he made up his mind to establish Merida in 1972. Ater years of being just a factory behind the OEM business model, in late 1980s Merida started to turn its name into a real bicycle brand that stands for quality, innovation and reliability in the international markets. Eventually it turned out to be a decades-long road for Merida to start from the scratch to become a notable international high-end bicycle brand. Now being a trusted elite brand of bikes and e-bikes in the international markets, Merida is honored by Interbrand as the 12th Best Taiwan Global brands in 2023 with a brand value USD494 million.
