Sturdy and quiet. Better than expected
I got this bike to help in rehabbing after my knee replacement. It can be difficult to get out and walk with various wether conditions, and a treadmill is too large for my apartment. This fits in the space very well, and we can move it easily. I'm also about to go back to work full time as a truck driver. I think this may even fit in the sleeper of the truck to help me stay fit out there.The instructions were clear enough to put it together, and the do include tools in the package. If you have basic tools with sockets at the house, it will go faster. It took me about 45 minutes from unboxing to completion.I will say that if you are tall, this may be a little small for you. I'm 5'9" and I shave the seat all the way up and I think it's perfect. You may get away with being a little taller, but I think 6' may be about the real max for any comfort.The bike and the electronic panel work perfectly. I didn't realize it connected via Bluetooth to my phone, and the apps available make tracking and riding a little more enjoyable. You actually have video you can play to simulate riding in various conditions that makes it a little easier to get through the workouts.I weigh around 185 and this thing is rock solid under me. It isn't swaying or squeezing or giving any indication of instability. My wife was looking for me this morning and didn't realize I was on the bike at all because it's so quiet.The resistance level isn't extreme. You can tell there is added resistance as you turn the dial, but if you are hill training or something, I don't think you'd be satisfied with the resistance. It's relatively easy to pedal on the highest settings, not like riding a tough hill on an outdoor cycle. If you are just adding this for cardio, you can definitely give yourself a workout and keep active during those times when you can't get out or don't want to go out.For me, this was a great purchase, and because of the space and budget I had, I don't think I could have asked for more. I definitely recommend it for small spaces and small budgets, but I think the quality is great even if you have more to spend.

Easy to put together
Took 2-3 days from when it was shipped to when it arrived at my door. Set up is straightforward and comes with all the necessary tools to assemble yourself, as well as instructions with diagrams. The bike is super easy to put together, and it folds up to take up minimal space! I love that it has all the basic functions I need, as well as a water bottle holder that’s on the back of your seat and a spot to hold your phone/ipad/ereader. The fact that it’s adjustable means that I, my husband, and my 10 year old can ALL use the bike easily. The resistance bands provide a good workout for your upper body while you’re pedaling away. I did a 12 mile test run just to see how it would perform, and it is quiet enough that I don’t disturb anyone else in the same room. Well worth the price!

Reasonably priced bike that needs 2 improvements
I purchased this bike after injuring one of my legs, and it has been a godsend. It is quiet and works very well. It was also easy to put together (after I remembered to read the instructions, ha ha). It needs two improvements: first, the seat is uncomfortable and digs into your lower back. I put a pad on the seat and used a blow-up camping pillow for the backrest (which initially left raw patches on my lower back) and now they are fairly comfortable. Second, the hand grips are poorly designed and the elastic cords will dig into your skin. I wrapped them in microfiber towels and they're fine now, but it would be better to design them properly in the first place. All in all, I do recommend this bike, especially at the extremely reasonable price point. If you're going to be spending hours on it at a time, I'd probably say to get something a little more advanced, but for an hour or less it's perfectly fine.

MERACH FOLDING EXERCISE BIKE
I love this bike! It is easy to assemble and lightweight. It fits perfectly in my room. It’s so quiet I can talk on the phone or watch TV with no distraction or noise.The adjustability is super easy. It doesn’t take much room and transforms to a recumbent bike for added versatility. I got this bike to help with some medical issues that made it important for healing and mobility.I highly recommend this bike. The shipping was quick. I love the design and the silver color.

Great way to stay fit when it's cold and rainy
Product was easy to assemble I was surprised the instructions would have been understood by a 5 grade reader, and it's a sturdy bike

Comfortable and convenient to use
Easy enough to assemble and so easy to use. I listen to an audible book and actually look forward to my break from everyday life. Small enough to keep tucked in a corner, too.

Exercising made easy
Product was not that hard to put assemble approximately 45 mins.The bike itself is amazing. Seat is way more comfortable than most. Extremely quiet and display is clear and easy to use. Does not take up a lot of space as we don’t have space. Fits in our space perfectly. I love it!

Super Quiet!
Instructions were clear and uncomplicated. Everything works as it should. I like that you can adjust the height and go from recumbent to standard cycling..and.. it has tension bands to work out the upper body. Its sturdy and cycling makes almost no sound. Great for early morning or late night. Tension can be adjusted to increase workout intensity for both arms and legs with several options.Great value for the money. Easy to move and store. In a perfect world, the seat could be more comfortable, the phone holder wouldnt cover the display screen and the heartrate monitor would be available in the recumbent position. So..I added a dollarstore cellphone holder, sit on a towel, and use my smartwatch to monitor my heart. Again the value is there. I would recommend.

I like almost everything except the heart-rate sensing
I took the advice of another reviewer and took photos of the bike in its original packaging, in case I needed to return it for some reason. However, it turned out that I had no problems with assembly. All of the parts were there, and everything fit together well.After using it for a month, I'm generally pleased with it. The seat is comfortable, but I wish it could be replaced with an actual bike seat. The magnetic resistance works well, and the folding mechanism is solid.It's difficult to roll the bike on its front wheels. You have to tip it really far forward, so the handle is very low and the bike is really long when you're pushing it. This make it awkward trying to move it in tight spaces and through doorways. I found it easier to just pick up the folded bike. This will only be a concern if you plan to roll it around a lot.The water-bottle holder is pretty mediocre. I get why they thought it would be smart to put it behind the seat, but it would have been better up front between the tops of the handle bars, so that you don't have to sit back and then reach around your back to find the holder. I might just remove it.The heart-rate sensor is poorly implemented. When you put your hands on the sensors, it defaults to starting in the 70s and then slowly rises until it reaches your actual heart rate. This doesn't make any sense at all, because your average heart rate for the workout comes out much, much lower than it really was. I don't know why it has to climb slowly instead of just instantly showing you your actual heart rate, same as any normal monitor. Hopefully, they'll fix this with a firmware update. Until that happens, I've just unplugged the monitor and rely on my watch instead.I downloaded the app, but only to check for firmware. I'm instead using this bike with the HoloFit app in my Oculus Quest 2 VR headset, and it works great.Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. I'd just be happier with a few small improvements.
