I purchased a bike about 6 months ago. Was unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident. I ordered spare parts and they arrived promptly, complete and were very cheap. i lve my bike so I purchaed one for my partner. Excellent bikes Show details
Great bike. Took around 45 mins to assemble by an expert. Yep decided to pay someone in case we didn't do right. Our son is averaging around 60km a day over Easter on it. We bought a second battery, but it's heavy and not practical to take with him on longer rides. He tells me his max speed is around 45km, but it chews through the battery so he's… Read more
averaging around 25km so he can spend longer out with friends. His friends are impressed. Customer service was good and they were helpful tracking down the delivery company as it sat in Melb for a few days - not Merkx fault - as well as answering questions before we bought. Great online chat feature. There is a Facebook group dedicated to this bike so it has a good following. The brakes could do with an upgrade as not as responsive as they could be.
I can only say positive things about my buying experience from Merkx. Before my purchase I received amazing customer service from Merkx via their messaging service. The bike arrived about a week or 10 days later in two deliveries. One for the bike itself and another for the battery. Setup was simple and the bike is built like a tank. Not too heavy… Read more
and comfortable and easy to manage. I absolutely love it and have zero regrets with my purchase. Would I but another bike from Merkx in the future? ABSOLUTELY :)

Shengmilo S600 ♥️ – I'm about six three tall fits me well. Lots of acceleration Good top speed easy to ride Show details

The S600 is great – I am really enjoying my new S600. I haven’t had any problems with the S600 at all, although I did replace the 3 inch tyres with 4 inch tyres before I had even ridden the bicycle so that I could ride the sandy trails that we have here in Perth Western Australia. This bike is almost unstoppable in soft sand situations and always controllable. The… Read more · 1
added comfort of the suspension system and the larger tyres is a feature that I really appreciate, as my old body wasn’t enjoying some of the rougher tracks that I had been riding on with my other bike. The range that I’m getting out of the batteries is exceptional. Yesterday I completed a 50 km ride and by the look of the remaining charge, I could’ve done another 50 km. That was very impressive but this may be because I set my maximum speed to 35 km/h rather than unlimited. The gearshift is very smooth and the pedal assist, something I wasn’t particularly used to, becomes intuitive. I had expected that the saddle would require changing, but it doesn’t, it is very comfortable on long rides. I may do other modifications to the S600 overtime and as I get to understand the bike more. The purchase price leaves a lot of room for being able to modify and still be thousands of dollars cheaper than if I had purchased a similar bicycle from a higher profile brand. Dealing with Merkx has been a very good experience and I have found them easy to contact when I have questions to ask.

The Bike was packed very well and very simple easy to assemble. Instructions were very intuitive. My first ride consisted of a 36 kph ride using all PAS modes, using only the rear drive unit. Road and paths. No off road use were used. The rear &… Read more · 7
front suspension could have adjustments on them to get the best ride. Very happy with my purchase. of the two S600s
Follow-up · Display is great no issues at all Battery Life I have had close to 150kms without a charge but that is with continuous rotation of the pedals brakes are good not sure I would want to try and pull up instantly from 47kph. But for general usage fantastic don’t abuse them

Bought this for my 6'2" husband to get up and down our steep hill and around the village and local beaches. It's big and sturdy and powerful. He absolutely loves it. A bit heavy compared to other e-bikes, but no problem for a strong guy. This bike is a lot of bang for your buck. Customer service also very good if you have any questions. Show details
this machine is unbelievable I have lots of hills and gravel and the front motor makes all the difference The power is a bit scary at times and the range seems to be endless on pedal assist Thanks Merkz for easy delivery and set up Show details
My old bike was a MX05 which is an absolutely great bike, but the S600 takes it to the next level. The 160nm of torque makes it a real winner up those steep hills. Well done Merkx for having great back up service, I congratulate you. Show details · 1

Looks to be a very good quality ebike for the price. Easy to assemble and seems to have sufficient power and battery life for extended trips. I have only ridden for the week, will be interesting to see how it is in 6 months. Overall, very happy with purchase based on value and quality of S600. Show details
The bike was easy to assemble (less than 1 hour) and looked great when all together. The quality and finish was far better than I expected. I have ridden it quite a bit now and it performs really well both on and off road. Very happy! Show details
Love this bike! Order was delivered in 2 days,assembly is very easy. Once you get use to the controls it's a lot of fun and lives up to expectations. I would definitely recommend Merkz for reliable service and the S600 for great ride,lots of getup and go and fun! Show details
Excellent product highly recommend buying one they are reasonably easy to assemble but instructions put in the box would help people who may struggle The bike absolutely fly once you go onto YouTube to see how to set up all the features you can do Thanks again for the great service and prompt delivery love them Show details
Awesome power to be able to move 140kg with ease up steep inclines. Very quiet when operating and very comfortable as well. It was a breeze to assemble with quality tools provided to assemble the bike. You will be foolish to pass on this awesome bit of kit. We'll worth the price amd more. I will be buying another for the Mrs as she wants one too. Show details
I deliberately waited to place my review to get a better understanding of the S600. In short: ‘bang for bucks’. Solid quality, powerful engine and a joy to ride. It took a few weeks to get used to it as it’s a totally different riding feel to the e-bikes I had in the past. However it grows on you and really start loving the uniqueness of this… Read more · 1
bike. It not only looks good, it also feels good once you sit on it, strap in and push the throttle all the way. Obviously make sure to use both front and rear engine. I highly recommend it. For $2,500 it’s an utter bargain. Well done Merkx
dissapointed – I,m 6.1ft and 100 klgs this bike will pull up steep hills but that's about its only strong point, realistic battery range pedalling with single motor and occasional dual motor use is around 20 to25 klms, The front forks do not have lockout or adjustable damping in fact i can't feel any damping at all just stiff springs, same for the rear, while… Read more
assembling discovered all the spokes were loose and needed adjusting before riding, the power level settings don't work from the factory and you need to drop the maximum speed setting down to approx 50klms for them to have any effect, this itself is misleading as the settings don't actually change the the power assistance level but only the speed at which the motor stops assisting so the the power is either on or off there's no adjustment to adjust the effort required to pedal, The mudguards are cheap pressed metal and the rear moves around and there is no rear tail light the seat is pretty average and the handlebars are to low for a tall person so will need to purchase a stem riser, the brakes are on the wrong side for australia but the hydraulic pipes can easily be swapped over so they are correct, the front wheel motor is extremely noisy so can only assume there is something not right with it as the rear motor is normal, overall the bike is heavy and budget built, great advertising and promotion but if i was able to inspect before buying would not have purchased there are many other bikes out there for similar money and much better quality mamba venom comes to mind with the only disadvantage being the lack of extra motor on really steep hills
