I'm very satisfied with this bike. I got one of these recumbent bikes because my wife's physical therapist said to get one. I shopped online and found this one at the right price and with good reviews, that I now agree with.
My wife had a stroke and needs assistance when walking. After receiving our bike, I was concerned initially about the space between the pedal mechanism and the front floor post for the seat. It's closer than most when I go back and look on Amazon. So, I thought my wife would have a problem getting into and on it. But she had no problems! The Merach bike is very comfortable, easy to assemble (watch the videos), easy to use and does not take up much space.

I couldn't assemble this myself but my husband had no problem. The seat part moves slightly, even screwed down all the way, but I don't think it's going to get worse or come off or anything. The digital parts work correctly (I checked the calorie count against other sites and it tracks) and the resistance levels are good. So overall this is a good value for the money and gets lots of use.

Easy to use, very sturdy bike, comfortable seat and pedals. I'm 5'6" and my leg extension is good, but may be short for anyone over 5'8". I'm at furthest position. I don't use the counter for time, revolutions, pulse, etc. because hard to read so use my phone instead. Does have nice shelf to hold phone or tablet.

I really like this exercise bike. Easy to use. Comfortable and great way to get a really good workout. I wanted something that I could use daily. This bike seems like it will hold up well. Just a few suggestions for improvement. (1) The seat/backrest constantly squeaked for the first month that I used it. I was constantly re-tightening the knob that adjusted the backrest. After about a month it stopped or maybe just stayed tightened. (2) I ride for distance and set the distance into the computer. I will let it count down. I hate watching it count down so I will cover the screen. The computer should have a beep when you have reached your goal. Very easy fix. (3) The two double A batteries do not last very long. I do ride everyday and the batteries last about six weeks. (4) When you do change out the batteries, you will lose all the data in the computer. So, no odometer of total miles that you have ridden. I think this is a great bike. All the suggested improvements are very easy fixes for the manufacture. I would definitely buy it again.

It took a long time to assemble and a bit confusing. However at the very end a part was missing and a wire was defective. This caused endless problems. Amazon will refund only and not replace parts- but this would mean a complete disassembly and packing. Are you nuts. This is not a fair expectation. I should have been told if the part is missing or defective the only option would be to return it- not an option really. The manufacturer should replace the part.
Amazon after two separate days of calling and discussing this issue said they could do nothing else other than a return. Not satisfactory. As an aside issue- most of agents I spoke with were patient and respectful. They seemed to understand that it was an unfair expectation to expect this older person to disassemble after hours of work putting the bike together but had no other solution. One person- I think the name is JIA- was rude and arrogant. She should not be a supervisor and basically told be there was nothing else to do.
Enough is enough but all this rally gets me. a very small missing part and a defective wire and no solution offered. This is not a way to sell- especially a heavy and bulky item that is unreasonable to pack up and return. I expect so much more from amazon. Well- the end.
ADDENDUM TO THE ABOVE REVIEW:
Well- maybe not the end. A Merach customer service rep contacted me. She was extremely competent and worked to solve the problem. She got it right away. Because of this is must say Merach deserves its #1 rating and 5 Star rating. While Amazon is a great business I was happy that Merach stepped up. I would have to say one can buy with confidence. An aside very sincere THANK YOU to Claire (Merach service team) who is really very special.
