CC All-Rounded Exercise Bike

Hello ! I've been using the bike for more than a week now and I'm very, very satisfied, I really needed it to work on my cardio and my leg muscles to perform well at football, that's the basis! The fact that the bike is bleuthooh sets it apart from the others and frankly I love it and I recommend it. Frankly I am very satisfied with the bike and I recommend I hope this comment will help you!

UPDATED REVIEW (changed my rating from 3 to 5 stars):
Merach reached out to me to see if we could find a resolution to my concerns. They honestly went above and beyond- in their communication and genuine kindness. Again, this is not a bad bike- it just wasn’t quite what I was looking for. I would still recommend it…just read reviews to find if it would fit your needs. I would recommend MERACH as a company 100%. I will definitely be looking into some of their other products- you can’t put a price on good customer service.

I purchased this bike instead of some of the more expensive ones out there, as it seemed to have all of the features I was looking for. Quality indoor bike at a good price point with great features. I’ve had it for a few days, and using both with the MERACH app, and Kinomap app, leave me wanting for more. It’s a bit tricky to make sure it connects properly- and then when it does, you don’t have much adjustment in resistance. Mine stops at 8 on the app, and if I turn the nob anymore, it just stops the wheel completely. I read that it had 100 levels of resistance…so im a little confused by that. The nob isn’t super convenient to reach to adjust resistance. Thinking auto resistance is more what I am interested in.
Overall this may be great for someone who doesn’t need to adjust a ton- and is looking for something very basic. But I am looking for a bit more.

After writing my feedback, the company reached out to me and offered several solutions to assist with the issues noted. Their customer service is top notch. Based on my experience with their customer service, I would recommend this company. I don't usually accept a "deal" from a company in exchange for more positive feedback, however their customer service definitely earned an extra ☆.
On another note, I have not had time to upgrade the seat and pedals yet. After my school finals I will do that. I will say one of the best features of this bike is the adjustability. The second is the sturdy construction. Do understand that you will not be able to ride like in a marathon. The bike does get wobbly when the faster or harder you pedal. It won't fall over thanks to the sturdy construction. I will continue to update this post as needed. Just know that the company's customer service will take care of you if there is an issue.
Original review:
3☆This is an initial review. I just received this bike July 1st 2023. I will update in a week or so.

Pros:
• Very well packaged. Package weighed about 80 pounds I think.
• Fairly simple to assemble, assembly took 45 minutes
• Very sturdy
• Many adjustments for the handlebar height, seat height and forward and back for the seat
• Water bottle holders
• Moves easily on the carpet.
• The footprint of the bike is much smaller than I anticipated.

Cons:
• Like everyone has said, the seat is awful. Not even 5 min in and the seat is causing shooting pain. The seat has very little give and is hard when you sit on it.
• Pedals. These are not ordinary bike pedals with a strap like most stationary bikes. This design will encompass the top half of your shoe. More like professional pedals with teeth and a rubber-like material that has a strap through it for your shoe to go into. I will need to switch these out. Despite being adjustable to fit different size shoes, I want to just get on the bike and get my workout done. I don't want to hassle with straps. I also don't want to get my feet stuck if I need to get off the bike.
• IPad holder is small. I had hoped to be able to either have a book or place my laptop on it. The lip to hold the IPad, is small. I have a Samsung z-fold and it will not fit unless I open it and remove the stylus. For reference, the lip is just wider than a pencil. Not likely you will be able to fit an IPad with a case on there (no case would probably fit).
• The water bottle holders are laying down. I try not to use water bottles with lids because if I drop the lid, I have to stop. I can't put the water bottle back in the holder as it will force the bottle to lay down. It's workable, but not ideal for me.
• Some scuffs and scratches on the parts, most are hidden on the bottom. Nothing major, but something to note.

Overall, I like the bike. I will have to get different pedals and a different seat. I have not yet tested the Bluetooth function and app, but I will include that with my update. For the price, I can't complain too much, but a few upgrades would make this bike next level.

Would I recommend this:
• Yes if you are willing to upgrade a few things like the seat and pedals and you are willing to compromise on the small IPad holder and laying your water bottles down.
• No if you want a comfortable workout out of the box.

I will update this review soon.

This is a great bike, the wife and I both use it, we went with this one due to the specs, reviews, and price. I had never heard of this brand before, but at the price I was willing to take a chance. We have racked up some miles quick on this, it's super quiet, we use it and don't worry about waking up the babies.

The app is nice as well, no issues there.

I hate adjusting the resistance, wish it was in a better spot, but that is my only issue. The seat is a seat, uncomfortable, but a friend of mine spent 2k on his bike and said the same thing of his seat.

*05/06/2023* Update on my purchase and for my initial review: Merach contaced me and have made this right. I'm very pleased, didn't expect this at all. So kind and generous of Merach, a pleasure to do business with this company.

This indoor bicycle is very quiet to ride. I like the fact when I ride I can hear my trainer video without having to turn the volume up. I can ride it any time of day or night and it doesn't disturb others in the house.

It's great that it has bluetooth and an app to help track my progress. The progress seems a bit unconventional and perhaps(?) inaccurate. I don't know for sure as this is a first for me to use an app to track.

I can ride for more than 30 minutes, on level 4 resistance, at a good clip, sweating, and it says I've only peddled just over 28 feet and burned 80 calories. I'd hate to see what I'd need to do to burn more calories! ?? I don't think the app and bike talk nicely to one another.

I'd like an adjustable set of the handlebars so shorter people like me can adapt them to what I need most.

Overall, made of excellent quality materials.

More for Off-Seat Peddling. It's painful in the private areas when leaning forward to reach handle bars while peddling, if you're standing while peddling of course it's not.
