 Vamos El Rapido $3,295 Full specs and where to buy |  Merida eSpresso CC 400 EQ $3,299 Full specs and where to buy | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Who it suits | |||
| Best suited to | Off-road or private property only as sold. Riders who want a big-battery commuter with a throttle and understand where they can legally use it. | Commuters who want rack, guards and lights sorted from the shop floor and don't want to think about it again. | |
| Main trade-off | The 500W rating and the throttle put it outside the road-legal pedelec rules. | It is a load carrying hybrid first. If you want anything sporty, look at the eSpresso CC lower down the range instead. | |
