About Merax Magnetic Recumbent Exercise Bike with Bluetooth, 8-Level Resistance
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
79% were impressed with comfortable seat design, but 21% weren't
The seat and backrest are comfortable.
I initially thought the seat was not sturdy enough and it wobbled. However, the seller sent me a video which fixed the issue.
I have criticized the exercise bike seat for rocking side to side on the arm, even when locked.
80% found it easy to assemble, but 20% disagreed
I found the assembly of the bike to be fairly easy. Although the instructions didn't include any information on how to assemble the seat component, I was able to set it up after reasonable deduction.
Assembling the bike was not easy and it took me two days. It is important to correctly assemble the wires in the bike's neck, as I discovered when the bike kept shutting off after a minute. I thought the bike was defective until I disconnected the neck and saw that one of the wires had disconnected.
79% appreciated the exercise bike's portability
The bike is manageable to move with wheels on the front.
80% were impresssed with the build quality, but 20% weren't
The bike fits me perfectly and my weight indicates that it has a good weight capacity and is well-built.
The bike has a unique characteristic that I have never encountered before. The resistance is stiff at 12 and 6 o'clock.
This exercise bike is not suitable for heavy people as the frame flexes even with a mild workout and would not stand up to heavy workouts or 200 pounders.
80% appreciated the quiet operation, but 20% found it noisy
The bike is quiet, sturdy, affordable, and gets the job done.
The new Merax bike has a unique characteristic I've never encountered before. The resistance is stiff at 12 and 6 o'clock.
80% praised the multiple resistance levels, while 20% didn't
I found that the exercise bike has a wide range of resistance levels, with the lowest level suitable for any skill level and the higher levels challenging for athletes.
I have noticed that the resistance fluctuates as I pedal and it feels stiff or soft at different points. Additionally, the bump-bump effect is more noticeable at higher resistance settings.
80% found the seat and handlebars adjustable, while 20% disagreed
The seat leans side to side and the locking mechanism doesn't work.
I had to make some adjustments to the seat and handlebars to make it usable for my height and weight. I solved the problem of slipping adjuster handle and extra inch and a half by taking off the piece of plastic preventing the chair from sliding off and moving the seat back to the very edge.
I faced challenges while assembling the bike due to my lack of skill. I needed two people and could have used a third set of hands at a few points. More skilled folks probably need only to read the instructions, carefully review the pictures/parts and follow the required order of assembly.
