MERACH Exercise Bike, Brake Pad/Magnetic Stationary Wheel with Exclusive App, Low Noise Indoor Bike Wheel with 136KG Weight Capacity, Dumbbell Rack and Fitness Classes for Weight Loss

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 can't believe the quality of this bike. It's amazing! I have had it for a week and I've used it for around 2 hours a day. It's really held up perfectly for me. The seat and handlebar posts adjust easily enough. It's a screw-in style pin but that's the least of my worries. I don't plan on adjusting it very much. It's super easy to assemble and will probably take an hour if you go at a slow pace like me. There's a knob between the handles and it's a backlit LED display. It's clear as day and displays how long your current session is, how far you've gone, how fast you're going, how many calories you're burning and how many watts you're expending. You can pair your phone or tablet to it using Bluetooth, it's always on so long as the bike is being used. No need to hold a button down or anything. You can pair your device and use it with the MERACH app (available on Google Play) and the Fantom Fite app, also available on Google Play. MERACH allows you to view all your details on one easy to read display but it requires registration and comes with a 180-day trial with the bike. The kit includes two double A (AA or LR36) batteries to power the electronics. It does have a sleep timer which kicks in 3 minutes after you're done. Now, it will reset your session after about 30 seconds of no activity. If you need to get off and use the bathroom or just give your bottom a quick break before hopping back on, be aware you can't pause it and you only have a short time to continue. There's also a knob with a red cap on the main body that allows you to adjust the tension and also acts as an emergency stop if you need to stop the flywheel suddenly. They recommend never leaving the bike until the pedals are completely halted. There's virtually ZERO NOISE with this magnetic tension model. If you live in an apartment and you have neighbors underneath you or you have it located on the second or third floor of a house, nobody can hear you when you use it. You can even adjust the feet so if it's on uneven ground, you can even it out: no rocking! I HIGHLY recommend this bike to anyone who is looking for cardio equipment for the home. Even if you have a tiny space to inhabit. It's better, more cost effective, lighter and quieter than any treadmill. Leave the treadmill at the gym, get the MERACH exercise bike for the home. You will not regret it, believe me.

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 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.

This MERACH Magnetic Black/Blue Exercise Bike is Amazing. Has all the Bells and Whistles. Love the dual cup holder the Display is sleek and easy to understand. My husband put it together by himself with no issues. All the adjustable features adjust well. It’s very sturdy and strong and does not move or rock when in use or stabilized. Perfect upgrade from a bike I had for years. The Quality is outstanding. The Dual Cup Holders are a Winner. Overall size of the Bike is compact and perfect for me. Display screen is simple and IPad/cell phone holder is great. We chose not to install the dumbbell holder not needed. Received Fast Free Next Day Delivery. Will reach out to MERACH for a wider seat to make it complete. I’m 100% Satisfied with everything else. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MERACH Magnetic Exercise Bike.
