Modern hardtail frame geo with great components, the Merida Big Trail is a great platform to build a more than capable aggressive MTB.
We mocked-up the kit install for a customer to confirm fitment.
Motor Fitment
Motor needed to be spaced out by 11mm rt clear the chain-stay so we fitted a 83mm BBSHD motor. It fitted perfectly with no spacers required between the locking plate and motor.
Battery
DP6 battery mounted to the bottle cage mounts , two sets on mounts so used one form each set of mounts to spread the load.
Drivetrain
Lekkie Bling Ring 42T Pro package was fitted, no spacers required and still had a few mm clearance. If wanted a better chain-;line you could file the chain-stay to allow the motor to move over further.
