MERACH Recumbent Exercise Bike for Home with Smart Bluetooth and Exclusive App Connectivity, LCD, Heart Rate Handle, Magnetic Recumbent Bikes S08/S23

Compact and quiet 🤫
I’ve only owned this bike for a few days, so far, I am pleased.I purchased this bike because I am out of shape, overweight, suffered a knee injury and have minimal space. I initially planned to purchase an upright stationary bike but resisted because no seat looked comfortable enough to handle my tush and because I am so out of habit of exercising, sitting up was just not appealing to me. This bike caught my eye and I am so glad that it did!I am 5’7, 300 lbs- I suffer from ailments that chain me to minimal movement for months at a time which has caused an adverse domino effect on my health. I needed something to encourage a healthier me without leaving my home and remaining in the room that is safest for me- my room. My room is a descent size but I own a queen size bed which takes up a lot of space. This bike sits comfortably at the foot of my bed next to a chair with a descent amount of space on either side of the bike and in front of the bike. I’m so sold!I appreciate the fact that I can comfortably lean back while riding and the bars offer more stability. Sitting straight up is uncomfortable at this stage of my getting healthier, ya know. Adjusting the seat according to your height and comfort is simple, as well as controlling the resistance. If you prefer to lean forward while cycling, the bars in front should be comfortable, but honey I have too much fupa for all that right now! The cup holder is a bit of a reach but maybe that’s to encourage a consistent workout. I don’t know.The display is nice and easy to read and control. The moment you begin peddling, the monitor begins tracking your session. I do not use the app to maintain my sessions as I use my phone or watch to track.This bike is a win, win! Not too long, the resistance settings encourage easy difficulty, it’s stable and the peddles are comfortable, even barefoot- but I’m country and enjoy walking outside barefoot! Another plus is the silence. Sometimes when I’m unable to sleep at night, I hope on for a few moments and the session does not disturb my family in other rooms if the house and I can comfortably watch and listen to my television!The assembly.It was not terribly challenging but having a person to help makes the assembly even smoother. I could not for the life of me figure out how to attach the monitor bar with the cord but learned that the cord belonged inside bar. Once I figured that out, it was smooth sailing. All of the hardware including the needed tools are included and easily installed.This is a great investment. Comfortable and fulfills its purpose!

Great option for indoor smart bike; do not bother with pedals or app
Our last indoor exercise broke down (probably used it too much :D) so I was looking for a replacement. I wanted a smart bike so I could track my rides. This bike overall is very solid and well built (it is a bit heavier than our old bike). The written instructions were clear, I did not need the video. I did not find an issue with the resistance cable. Even at the highest setting as recommended by others, I still had plenty of cable to attach it (did they lengthen it?). I am 5’11” with a 30 inseam and have the seat on the second hole from the back. The bike is very quiet. Customer service is excellent, just be patient. I received my answers in the middle of the night, probably because they are in China?I did find some issues with the bike:- The pedals are ridiculous. Hard as a rock, profile of arctic worker boots. Wanted to replace them with some road bike pedals I had — DON’T FIT! The crank on the bike is 1/2″ while regular pedals are 9/16″. Why not confirm to the standard? I got me some adapters and now my pedals fit.- The seat has some issues. The back rest can only be adjusted up and down, no tilt. Using a cushion to push myself a little forward. Also the seat gets rather uncomfortable at long (more than 20 mins) rides. Need another cushion there. Adjustment of the whole seat is a little cumbersome with a large knob that needs to be released from the hole, seat slit into position (can be finicky) and then fasten the knob again. You need to get off the bike in order to do that.- The app needs A LOT of work. There is absolutely no integration with any platform (not even Strava) and the routes are very, very limited. There are much better (and free) apps out there.- The display is very limited, kinda useless. I’m using a nice app which gives me plenty of info.Overall I’d say this is a great bike, especially if you can get it for a good price. I was lucky enough to find a great Christmas sale.

I bought this bike about a month ago and have used it 5 days per week since it arrived. It was easy to assemble, taking my time and following the directions, it took me two about hours. The parts are all fairly substantial, bolts are heavy duty and well machined. There were no issues putting it together. I am in my early seventies and decided, on the advice of a sports medicine doctor, that it would be good exercise for my aging knees. I am six feet tall and find the bike very comfortable with the seat moved back to its furthest position. It also adjusts easily for my much shorter wife. More expensive bikes have more bells and whistles but this one has everything I require. The elapsed time and distance are what I pay most attention to and as I gradually increase the tension, the heart rate monitor will come in handy. Just in passing, the tension adjustment is really simple. So far,I am really pleased with my purchase; the bike is sturdy and whisper quiet and the only unknown will be durability. At this point, I don’t detect any issues that would lead me to believe that it will fail any time soon. If your needs are similar to mine, I have no hesitation in recommending this bike.

Bought this bike about 3 weeks ago in preparation for my upcoming total knee replacement surgeries. I have used it nearly everyday since I received it and it’s been working great. It was also much easier to setup than I originally thought. I was able to build it on my own in probably about an hour or so. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something nice and very affordable.

I have been searching for an excercise bike, need to strengthen my leg muscles before knee surgery, and after. It will be good for weight loss and cardio. I have hesitated because I wasn’t sure if I could put it together myself (65yr grandma). After reading the other comments on how easy it was, I said I would give it a go.Let me say I had no issues doing it myself from the instruction sheet provided, took me approx 1.5 hrs alone. It also has a product code on the outside of the box to scan with your phone camera which will link to a YouTube video if you need visual help. It comes with a cardboard with the steps 1-6 all separated into nice little squares with the bolts, spacers and screws all attached in each square for each step! Excellent instructions, both on booklet and YouTube video.Also included are the 2 tools needed to screw in or tighten the bolts. It has an lcd monitor that shows calories burned, distance, time, pulse rate,. There is an app to download for your phone, but I have not used it yet.I am 5’5” ,no issues with the length of the pedals and the seat is adjustable and very comfortable.I got it on a great price, it’s a 5*** purchase for sure. Thank you MerachFor this awesome product.
