MERACH Exercise Bike, Brake Pad Stationary Bike with Exclusive App, Low Noise Indoor Cycling Bike with 300lbs Weight Capacity, Tablet Mount and Fitness Courses for Weight Loss

My husband recently underwent full knee replacement surgery, and we purchased this stationary bike to assist with his recovery. Given the price, this bike offers exceptional value. It is incredibly sturdy, well-built, and was easy to assemble with no issues. The belt-driven mechanism operates more quietly than expected, making for a smooth and pleasant riding experience.The bike's adjustability—seat, handlebars, and resistance—adds to its overall functionality. The only drawback is the seat, which is quite narrow and firm, making extended use uncomfortable. However, after reaching out to customer support for possible alternatives, I was pleasantly surprised by the prompt and helpful response from Jessie. Jessie immediately offered to replace the seat with a wider Merach model, which was greatly appreciated.Overall, this is an excellent stationary bike, backed by outstanding customer service.

Very nice so far Great deal for the money I was expecting a piece of crap, but this seems to be very solid well-built with very little noise,, works the way it should was not very hard to put together It was harder taking it out the box then putting it together lol Seat is a little hard wrote them they sent me a new one Big old seat having a little trouble with the blue tooth connecting for app Wish it was a free spinning it's not but the app is pretty cool if you can get it up and running should help keep this old man in shape During the winter times I ride bike in the summer will give a update in a about a year Oh yea and Regester it for an extra year warrantee 2 years all together

Overall, quite satisfied with the bike. It was easy but a bit involved to assemble. All tools, bolts, washers etc. were included along with great pictures showing the assembling process.I've ridden it several times, around 40 miles or so. It is very quiet as most have stated. However, mine has a slight rubbing sound that comes and goes. It seems dependent on what resistance level is set.Pros:*foldability*position of the resistance bands. They work well and retract very nicely to the frame of the bike when not in use*resistance knob is very well positioned; very easy to get to beneath the retracted resistance bands*very stable. I'm 255 lbs. it remains stationary throughout my pedaling at various resistance levels.*bluetooth works very well with appCons: (note of these are not deal breakers, just 'be nice' category)*acceptable height. I'm just under 6'1" and find I can't get the seat up high enough to get better extension of my legs. It is acceptable and works fine, just not the extension I would like as I get on my ebike.*display is not backlite and the numbers are not illuminated. it would be nice if either one of these were present, the numbers are well displayed though*although foldable, I dislike having to screw in and unscrew the knob to fold and unfold the bike. I've had other stationary bikes where you simply pull out the knob adjust as desired and let the knob slip back into place, it being spring loaded. This bike's method is ok once you get used to it; just be nice to simply pull the knob out and let it slide back in once the adjustment is as desired.*wheels for moving around - it has them, however, you really have to lower the bike quite a bit for them to roll smoothly thus making it harder to move into compact areas when the bike is upright.*no battery backup - although I haven't confirmed this yet being I just installed the batteries, based on what the manual says, the odometer will reset with a replacement of the 2 batteries to activate the display. A previous stationary bike I had contained a small (CR2032 if I remember correctly) that retained the odometer setting. Thus, every time you replace the batteries, the odometer will revert back to a '0' reading.Merach app - It installed easily on my android tablet. With bluetooth active on the tablet, the app connected to the bike with no issues. On subsequent uses, it connected with no issues or need to try and reconnect. In the 'free training' mode, all display items worked great except resistance. I contacted Merach. Since the bike sets the resistance manually, this value will not be displayed. If you have one of the bikes where resistance is automatically set, then this value will be displayed. The one value I would have liked displayed in the 'free training' mode is speed which is missing. Not a big deal, just be nice. If you connect the bike to the app, then the physical display will be bypassed. If the app is not used, then the physical display will work normally.I only tried the online riding courses once. It worked fine. Showed nice display of path in the country. It was fun to use.I would recommend this bike with no reservations. I only gave it a 4 star rating because of the cons above which again are not deal breakers, just things that I didn't like.

Seems pretty great for the price (~$250 w/coupon). Packed very well, no scratches, dings, or any random cosmetic damage you might expect at a lower price point due to poor packaging. Assembly was easy enough, tools are included. It makes no noise when riding but the bolt on the inside of the pedal crank can brush the belt guard if it isn’t secured as tight as possible. Handle bars are padded but not textured in any way or excessively soft. Nothing has come loose or makes any noise after about 100 miles of riding, seems very sturdy.Pairing this bike with Zwift works almost every time. If you have just started a ride it will connect right away but if you end a ride and start a new one, it seems to have trouble reconnecting.

Use this daily and it’s easy to use, comfortable, sturdy, good for my exercise level and changes, magnetic restraint is good for tougher pedal times, value for money (worth it).
