Merax Folding Adjustable Magnetic Upright Exercise Bike Fitness Machine

The Innova Folding Bike is one of the most popular models that has this feature, but another new model that is well worth considering is the Merax Folding Adjustable Magnetic Upright Exercise Bike Fitness Machine because this also comes with its own pad holder.

This is a simple-looking bike, but it is cheap and practical and seems to be getting some reasonably good reviews, which is why I wanted to review this bike in more detail.

It has a variable resistance lever so that you can make your workout easier or harder, and does of course come with a bracket that will hold your iPad or tablet device in place so that you can watch TV or YouTube, for example, whilst working out.

It also comes with an LCD display positioned just below this bracket that will tell you your speed, time, distance covered and calories burned.






Product Highlights

When it is fully assembled, this bike weighs approximately 36.8 lbs, so it is not a particularly heavy machine. It also has a small footprint because its dimensions (in inches) are 28.3 (L) x 16.2 (W) x 44.5 (H), and can be folded away when it is not being used.

It has a variable resistance lever so that you can make your workout easier or harder, and does of course come with a bracket that will hold your iPad or tablet device in place so that you can watch TV or YouTube, for example, whilst working out.

Merax Magnetic Upright Exercise Bike doesn't take up much space, requires little or no balance or coordination, and can provide a quite effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. Tone your legs and arms quickly on this Magnetic Bike!

Using a magnetic resistance system, this bike has adjustable tension control to set workout intensity so you always get a good burn which also provides you an enjoyable and comfortable exercising environment. Easy-to-use digital output includes time, distance, calories burned, speed and scan modes provide you detailed information of the workout result. You can exercise on the Merax Magnetic Upright Exercise Bike "at any time, in any weather, from the comfort and safety of home".




The bike is virtually silent, easy to put together, and just simple to fold up and move around. The one issue putting it together was it appeared to not have designated bolts to attach the computer and the book or iPad holder to the connection at the handle bars, but what did work was to use the lower screws on the back of the computer, and fit the pieces back through to the holes the screws came out of. Possibly I was missing two bolts, but this worked fine. I am 5' 7 and use the top seat setting and it is fine for me. If you are taller it might feel that the seat is a bit lower than you like. This is a great bike!


Final Words

If you are looking for a low-cost upright bike that will give you a decent cardio workout and won’t take up much room in your home, then this Merax Folding Upright Exercise Bike is a pretty good choice because it has a wide range of resistance and comes with an LCD display and a holder for your iPad or tablet.

The only real problem is the seat because as a few people have pointed out, it can get pretty uncomfortable after a while. If you would like to buy this new Merax bike, it is available from this page of the Amazon.com website. Check the prize on Amazon.
