MERACH Exercise Bike: Low Noise & Exclusive App

I like to ride this more than my mountain bike!
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.

Great bike terrible app and misleading ad about touchscreen
I love this bike. It was super easy to assemble and appears to be of high quality and very sturdy. I am 6’4 and was concerned about fitting on the bike but that has not been an issue. The adjustment capability is great although a bit tough once you tighten everything. I did deduct a point since this was advertised as being a touchscreen once your phone is connected via cable but this is not the case. The screen is not touch sensitive at all. I figured there was a firmware update or something I needed but I could not figure out how to perform this. Another gripe I have is that the app is terrible. If you switch apps, the workout will not save and if you try to connect once you already started working out, the app will reset your progress on the bikes screen. I do like the fact that there is an HDMI input so I have an apple tv connected to use fitness plus spin classes with my apple watch since the app itself is useless.

They offer a nice application help in training

Im a filthy casual, I dont need app support, it gives me power output, ride duration and thats about it, cave man basic metrics. The build quality for the price 299 AUD… absolute bargain, thank you China and its amazing economies of scale. Rock solid construction, you should grease the screws because once its on… its not coming off. The Info console is just a bit of plastic that is poorly implimented compared to the rest of the bike. 100/10 bang for buck.

Buen producto, de buena calidad y facil de armar, lo único malo el envío, tardó la mayor parte de tiempo en la aduana
