Stolen Merida Bikes: UK Frame-Number Check (Free)
Last updated
Quick answer
Merida frame numbers are stamped on the underside of the bottom bracket. Paste the number into Cyclesite's free lookup for an instant UK check against police records, BikeRegister and community reports.
Where Merida stamps the frame number
On the underside of the bottom bracket shell on the vast majority of Merida road, gravel and mountain bikes. E-bikes (eOne-Sixty, eBig.Tour) carry the frame number on the frame itself, separate from the motor and battery serials.
Merida on the UK used market
The Scultura and Reacto road bikes and the Big.Nine and One-Twenty mountain bikes are Merida’s highest-volume used models. The Silex gravel range and higher-spec carbon frames are lower-volume but higher-value, so confirm the frame number against a receipt before paying.

- Yes, the frame number is stamped into the frame, separate from the motor and battery serials. Stolen-bike databases use the frame number.
