From Premium to Accessible — Expanding the Connected eBike Fleet
Success Story I - Merida Taiwan
This partnership was initiated through Wanshih Group, Datalake's parent company. Datalake was brought in as the core technology layer — bridging hardware, firmware, and software into a unified connected system across three new Taiwan-exclusive Merida models.
No consumer-facing app — riders had no digital touchpoint after purchase
Dealers lacked diagnostic tools; after-sales support was entirely manual with fragmented data
Smart eBike technology was limited to high-end models, leaving the entry-level market underserved
No scalable platform to extend the connected experience across a wider product range

Merida - Software Ecosystem
Rider’s App
Rider's App Plus
Developed and published by Datalake under the Merida brand, Merida Plus connects to the bike via Bluetooth to let riders bind their vehicle, adjust assist modes, customise power output per level, track ride data, and navigate with built-in maps. OTA firmware updates keep the motor and controller current — no dealer visit required. Available for both iOS and Android.
Dealer Diagnostics
Merida DST
Deployed across Merida's Taiwan dealer network, the DST connects directly to the bike and gives technicians instant visibility into system health — reading fault codes, inspecting battery status, checking motor parameters, and verifying firmware. Issues that once required factory escalation are resolved at the shop floor in minutes.

Limited experience in eBike segment, needed help to transfer sports equipment expertise to new area
No rider app or dealer diagnostic tools — zero digital touchpoints
One way China-origin supply chain: weak differentiation, elevated pricing
High China-production ratio triggered market limitations in key regions
