We have not ridden this bike. This read is based on the spec sheet and Australian seller information, not a test ride.
Trail riders who want a playful, shorter-travel full suspension eMTB rather than a full enduro rig.
130mm of rear travel on an EP801 motor is a genuinely capable trail spec at this price point.
Not the bike for genuine enduro descents: that's what the eOne-Sixty range in this same lineup is for.

Yes. The Merida eOne-Forty 400 is a 250W pedal-assist e-bike that stops assisting at 25 km/h, which meets the road-legal e-bike standard in every Australian state. Compliance is asserted by the brand rather than independently verified, so confirm the current spec with the seller.
The Merida eOne-Forty 400 has a claimed range of about 73 km from its 630Wh battery. Real-world range is usually lower than the claim, since it depends on assist level, rider weight, terrain and wind.
The Merida eOne-Forty 400 uses a Shimano STePS EP801 motor, in a mid-drive position, producing 85Nm of torque. Mid-drive motors climb hills better because they work through the bike's gears.
The Merida eOne-Forty 400 weighs about 26.7 kg. That matters if you need to lift it onto a car rack, carry it up stairs, or store it, since e-bikes are heavier than regular bikes because of the motor and battery.
