Excellent and quiet exercise bike! I have gone through 3 walking treadmills when I decided to try this. Works fantastic and has a great build quality. I was very impressed for the price.

This is my first exercise bike. I didn't want to shell out a whole lot of money. I mainly use it for when it's raining outside and I can't go biking or during the winter which is what I really got it for I bought the silver model. Almost every picture I saw was the black and I noticed that the handlebars are more tilted at least on this model, but I actually prefer it that way compared to the flat ones I've seen so I don't know if it's just a newer design or if they're designed differently between the two colors it's same bike though so I don't know why it'd be different I ended up having an extra screw for the handlebars as well or maybe it just didn't have a drill hole for it, but it works perfectly fine did a quick 30 minute exercise on it and had nothing wrong with it for $250 you can't beat a price like that it's actually built pretty well for the price as well. I would recommend getting either a new seat or a comfy seat cover and that's what I did for mine It's super easy to adjust once you find your size it takes a minute to get used to the dial system. I don't plan on using the app or getting a membership for another app I mean if you have YouTube on like a TV or obviously on a phone there's plenty of fitness guides that are free or just watch TV. Everything shows up on the dial anyways except for resistance which is a little disappointing but at the same time like it'd be nice to be able to track it but it's not necessary the only thing I've noticed obviously after using it I had to re-tighten down the bolts but you get what you pay for and it takes 2 seconds to tighten bolts and I'm sure on other bikes you'd have to do the same thing after using them it is quiet as can be obviously if you are a little overweight like I am, you're going to breathe heavy and and your breath is way louder than the bike. I don't even think the bike makes noise. I would say if you're trying to get into fitness this is a great bike for the price. At some point I might honestly upgrade but I literally use it for rainy days when I can't go out biking and for this upcoming winter I just don't know how long the belt will last or how well it will keep up over time but if you're trying to get into fitness this is a great starter bike and maybe upgrade over time. What I would recommend is definitely getting a new bike seat or a bike seat cushion cover (to be honest all bike seats are uncomfortable just try to find one that works for you a cushion cover will do just fine for most) and buy rechargeable batteries I really like the fact that you don't have to plug this in. It's super easy to move around once you get it set up. It's a little heavy when it's in the box definitely recommend if you're taking up flights of stairs or down to have somebody else to help you. The only thing I don't know is how long this bike will last over time but since I'm using it seasonally I should get a decent value out of it compared to people who will use it daily and that's the one concern that I have is how long will this bike last before it has problems but if it lasts 3 years that it's worth the value that's less than $100 a year I actually personally like riding this bike more than I like riding my mountain bike. It's a lot of fun.

Overall, it seemed very sturdy. If you have short legs, you are likely to have trouble with getting the seat to stay in the forward position. It's a design flaw. They're trying to use a bolt to keep the seat in place. They should have used a series of cotter pin holes. The bolt simply can't be screwed in tightly enough to fight the shear force of a cyclist's full weight pushing backwards I've been fighting this thing for a month and am going to the hardware store tomorrow to figure out what I can stuff in the gap behind the seat to keep it from sliding back. But again, the only reason I'm willing to deal with that whole nonsense is that overall, this seems like a really high quality bike!

Priced right, Easy to assemble, like the adjustability and it is quiet. Has a basic digital display and Bluetooth connectivity to your phone with the Merach App. No service fee or subscription to use the app. I got the magnetic resistance model with two cup holders on the handle bar. I’ve had it two days and have tried a beginner workout with the app and I liked the concept with stretching and taking it easy to warmup and then alternate between aerobic sessions. Now is the hard part, using it regularly.

OK I'm a 75 year old female who does not relish going outdoors in all kinds of weather like the heat and wind here in Arizona. I also go riding by myself and do not feel safe out there alone anymore. The Merach bike has been great, low noise level, good stability and a smooth ride. My only issue was the seat, just too narrow and uncomfortable for me. I contacted support at Merach and asked about what I could do to resolve this issue. Jessie replied that they would provide me with a wider seat at no cost. I was really surprised and happy with the good customer service.

I hate to write negative reviews. I almost never do it. It makes me feel bad, but I feel like it is needed for this one. I feel ripped off by all the good reviews and even the positive reviews on youtube. I feel people who are thinking about buying this bike deserve to know my experience with it. I have had the bike for a month now. Unfortunately just missed the window to return by one day. There is alot of stuff I don't like about this bike. 1.The pedals are spikey, you can not ride without shoes. 2. I hate the resistance on the bike. All the other bikes I have had in the past had a dial with levels of resistance you could turn to. You always knew what level of resistance you were at. This bike has a dial that is not specific. Its just turn one direction for higher resistance and turn the other direction for less. It's very tricky to get it where you want it, especially if you live in a household with multiple users who change the resistance all the time. So, I absolutely hate that about it!! 3. The handle bars feel so far away from me, I don't like to be hunched over while riding, I like to sit pretty much straight up while I ride. I feel like the handle bar placement is awkward, feels very unnatural. I have nothing to hold on to. I know that the handle bars are "adjustable" but only with a screw driver. My past bikes handles were movable at anytime. They were truly adjustable and they were close to you. So it may just be that this bikes handles are just different form the way I'm use to, either way I hate it. 4. The seat is stupid. I had read reviews that the seat the comes with the bike is very uncomfortable, so I had seen they do sell a bigger more confortable seat for the bike separately, so I bought that and put that on the bike. They claim the bike is so quiet and the bike itself truly is, that is the one positive thing I can say it is you can not hear the bike while pedaling at all, it is silent. But, the seat creaks like no body's business. It's very distracting even while playing music. The seat moves around while you ride due to the "4 way seat feature" and it creaks so loud. I hate that!! 5. The app does not work properly. I have wasted so much of my very little time I have available to workout on trying to get my bike to connect with the app, and then once it does to keep it working properly. I gave up on it was not worth my time and it was very disappointing to me. 6. The digital monitor on the bike is next to useless. It will stop and restart your progress if you stop pedaling very quickly. Other moniters I've had would stay on longer, this one shuts off and zeros out alot faster and I dont like that. 7. No matter how hard I try, I just feel like I am not getting a good work out on this bike. I'm very sad to say that. I have not in a whole month working out on it 3 sometimes 4 times a week, I have yet to have finished a workout on it and feel like I had a great workout. I have had 3 bikes prior to this bike and this one is by far the worst I have ever had. I feel I have waisted my money, but that is my fault because I missed the window to return. I wanted to wait and give the bike a fair chance. I wanted to like the bike so much that I thought it had to be at least good enough to get the job done. But so far it is proving to not be. I will Write a new review if I change my mind. But so far this is my opinion. The bike is not good, and there are other bikes in the same price range or even cheaper that are better than this bike. I don't want to leave the review with out mentioning anything I noticed that is positive. There are some positives but the negatives way overweigh and out number the positives for me. #1.The bike is very solid and sturdy. The reason the bike got 3 stars instead of 2 is because the bike is so solid and sturdy. I was pleasently surprised by the heaviness and sturdiness. #2. I do really like the cupholders, where they are placed and the fact that there are two of them. I wish I had more positives to list.

Very impressed with this bike. Works well, the app works well. The seat was just very uncomfortable

Bike is well made and easy to assemble.
