- 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

I must rate it five Stars because it’s a great well-built bike for the money. Good points: it’s sturdy, gives readout for speed, time, calories, distance and rpm, easy to assemble, its light enough to move around with the built in wheel, has a nice mount for a tablet or smartphone, and it’s extremely quiet while riding. Not so good points: the seat slips unless the adjustable knob is really tightened, handle bars don’t adjust high enough for my comfort, and the pedals are hard to slip into due to the flimsy straps but I use the under side of them with no problems. I haven’t used the fitness app so I can’t review that aspect. Overall I’m very pleased with the purchase. For the money I doubt there’s a better one.

Be prepared: there is a lot of assembly. My husband, who is really adept at multi-step instructionals and is very logical, still needed almost 2 hours to complete the build. If you do not feel confident with machine building, it may be worth your time to pay for someone to assemble it for you. That being said, this bike is excellent and very worth the money. Easy to use and the app function tracks progress with many data points. It is very quiet, as advertised, and great for a small one bedroom apartment. The workouts can be varied in many different ways and it works well for beginners (me) looking for an easy start as well as 'experts' who want to sweat buckets (my husband). The seat height is decently adjustable. At it's lowest setting, it works for me (5', short legs) and I believe the 2nd to the highest setting works for my husband (6'). In my opinion it paid for itself in the first 2 weeks.

Very quiet bike! Easy set up ,mostly put together. Very compact and does the job. Not made for big screens, but that is cool. Electronics is just okay. You can use any program or app on your iPad, so their app is not necessary in some cases. You can use your Apple, Garmin, Withings, etc watch to track exercise. I’d say one small negative thing was the quality control. My screen holder bar and tray are off a bit. Looks a little wonky, but not too big of deal. That’s what a mass produced bike gets you sometimes. I use a binder clip to level out the tablet, but the plastic ledge and bar holding it is obviously off a bit. It’s bolted down, so it’s not something you can fix or bend. In the picture, it's hard to tell but it's noticeable when you have your tablet on it. No worries. At this price point, I’m okay with it. Not sure if it was a fluke with just this bike. I’m just glad the deformity was not in the flywheel or pedal system. All good! I have a bony bum, so the seat is not comfortable. I bought a cushon cover for it so I'm all set. Happy with the purchase!

I bought the Magnetic version, well worth the added cost. The is a very well-built cycle, robust construction and very sturdy (even on carpet), while being easy to roll about. Surprisingly small footprint, great for apartments. Easy to assemble, and all necessary tools are included. Hate to admit it, but Chinese quality is excellent with this bike. Nothing cheap, no quality issues. Highly recommended. If Merach is reading, a few requests: Freewheeling (you can pause peddling and the flywheel continues to rotate) would be great. As it is now, if you need to pause peddling to adjust something, you cant. The pedals, and your feet, keep rotating. It will buck you until you get used to it. Add a digit to the mile distance display. It show in tenths (0.0) but hundredths (0.00) would help with motivation to see it move a bit more rapidly.

I’m very new to cycling and every time I get on this exercise bike, it kicks my butt, lol. I love it tho! I’m drenched in sweat 5 minutes into my ride! It was really easy to put together. I read the instructions for my husband and we had it together in less than 20 mins. It doesn’t take up much space at all. The stability is great! Three things I need to say: 1) I need to change out my seat. It really hurts my butt. 2) I do need to change out the pedals. My husband and kids keep hitting the bar the pedals are attached to every time they ride. 3) Make sure to always fully tighten the screws after you adjust the seat, handle bar and height of the seat. I promise you, you will NOT have a wobbly bike if you do.😊 All in all, great bike! 5/5

Great exercise bike. Easy to put together, I did it on my own, and easy to get started. Has enough adjustment options all 3 people in our family can use it. Great value for the money!

This stationary bike is perfect for anyone looking to workout at home. It was easy to assemble with clear instructions, came with all necessary tools to assemble, all parts were in the box, and everything was wrapped perfectly to prevent damage. I love the Bluetooth connection to my phone and the app that tracks your progress, has training videos, scenic routes you can follow along with, and challenges to participate in. It’s very easy to move around, sturdy, and quiet! The adjustable seat and handle bars make this product adaptable for the whole family. This is an affordable product with high quality value.

quality bike and quiet as a church mouse. Putting it together was a breeze but I don't know how to track anything. I downloaded the app and it connects to the bike and I can pedal for days and no numbers are anywhere. I just set a time on my phone for the amount of minutes I want to pedal and when that goes off I stop. could use some help if MFG monitors this.
