My husband is delighted with this bike, it is even better than he was expecting. The only negative is that the tyres are very thin, side walls are very thin too, but goes for rides everyday. Show details

Absolute great team to deal with, great product and after sales service is second to none, great work guys a credit to you
Received the bike 1/4/26, however NO BATTERY, 8/4/26 still NO BATTERY, I did get a free rear puncture though straight out of the box $12 for a new tube and can’t even ride it yet ☹️
Follow-up · Finally received the battery on 21/4/26, 3 weeks after the bike, Megan is sneaky and won’t be truthful, I’ll stay well clear of these guys
It states that the bike suits height 165cm and taller. I am 165cm and it is a bit on the large side for me. The bike is heavy, so the seat needs to be low enough for me to be able to plant both feet on the ground, otherwise it feels like it could get away from me if I stop on a slope. Having said that, I am over 60 and do not have as much strength… Read more
as someone younger. Other than that, the bike is solid, quality build and powerful enough to get up the steep hill to our home. All round great buy.
very good overall ...maybe not suitable for more toll people
Good bike for the money.. brakes are slow to come to a quick stop !.
Nice E-bike dose all they said and more . wish it had a setable speed limiter would make it easy for road use as NSW now set max 25kph limit on this typr of E-bike Show reply
Great bike (for the price). The online service seems good so far. I had a couple of issues and they sorted it out at absolutely no cost to me. Thanks to Megan.
I am loving it! Thank you very much for amazing customer service as well.
Extremely happy with the quality and robust feel of the s700 and the prompt fix off the issue that I had.
On line staff very helpful and accommodating with payment options and advice. Bike quality is good a units are very solid. Guards are a little rattley but this is overcome with a couple of cable ties. Overall very happy.
Performs as expected.Provided new leaver on seven speed gear controller which had been broken prior to delivery.Not a simple installation.Live on Gold Coast.Can you provide bike shop that can install?

It's just an all round good bike,you won't be disappointed
Outstanding Service. Super Quick Delivery. Very Solid Bike. Very happy with the service and bike.
Love the bike the interface is so user friendly I have no problem recommending this bike
Bike is good thanks. Probably accelerates a bit faster than need be when you start pedalling. Also I regret not buying the model that has rear suspension. Otherwise very happy. Tyres are excellent in sand
Have ridden a few times, getting used to the controls. Quite powerful. Will put it to purpose in Spring, when it's a tad warmer! All looks good and well made. Perhaps I will report more in the Summer. Yes, I'm a fair weather rider, in mitigation, I will be 73 in September.
The hike is well made and the quality is good. Lots of power
I would like to start by saying the communication from the Merx team is very good. I had a few questions prior to buying the bike and the responses were prompt and to the point. Right through the processes they are very responsive and do seem to try to help. The bike was delivered from Melbourne to the GC in 2 days, which was very good. But that's… Read more
when the issues started. First of all the bike turned up with no instructions on putting it together. I did find instructions on the website so no real concerns there but would be nice to be told that or include instructions in the box. The bike was not that hard to put together but did take 2 people and some thought. Not a deal breaker or the reason for the 2 stars. Once together though, the bike motors did not work and the screen was coming up with an Error 2 message. I contacted Merx who again were very responsive and requested a video of the bike not working and the error message. I sent it and was then told the bike was faulty and seemed to have shorted all the electrics. They advised they would overnight me the parts to replace them myself. I obviously was not ok with this option but was told it was the only option as they have no one in QLD who can repair the bike for me. I asked about replacing the bike and was told this was their policy so I begrudgingly agreed to receive the parts. That was as on a Friday. The parts did not arrive overnight as advised they would but I cut them some slack as it was a weekend. By Tuesday though I contacted Merx again to find out where the parts were and was told they are coming from China and will be another 3-5 days. So now I have paid $2500 for a bike I cannot use for 2 weeks. The parts finally arrived, again with no instructions on how to install them. They told me originally it would be easy to change as it was a controller and some wires. What turned up was 2 controllers, 8 cables and harnesses and the main screen. And whilst it was all doable it was very time consuming and not at all easy. Maybe it is for someone who does it all day every day. So I get it all changed out and sure enough it does work, however the bike is not what I expected. It does not feel like a normal bike to ride. The torque is way to high even on the lowest setting of 1 and so one revolution of the pedal and you are doing 20klms an hour which makes it very difficult to ride in a group. Great if you want to get somewhere fast but not for social riding. And the bike is so heavy that if you turn the electrics off, you can barely ride it. So all in all a disappointing experience. Pick this bike if you like DIY repairs and you want to travel really fast by yourself. Steer clear if you are after something that is easy to put together and easy to ride.
Hi Andrew Yes we definitely apologize for the parts coming to… Read more
Great product – Good strong frame /heaps of power comfortable to ride sevive from merkx was excellent responsive to every think I asked good value great machine
E-Bike convert - I love this bike – Love this bike. Highly recommend to anyone interested in quality over cost. Designed to take punishment and with dual motors satisfies rugged mountain biking or road cruising providing the comfort I expect and demand. I am new to E-bikes but have been riding for decades. I am not a small man, so I wanted a bike capable of some punishment yet… Read more
provide a cushioned ride, so the Fat tyres and front shock deliver that. Shimano gears are a treat to use and do expect years of trouble-free riding. I must say the Merkx distributer have been excellent to deal with with after service care. Delivery was so fast it caught me by surprise for such a large package having bought two S700 step through bikes. Some installation is required but instructions are reasonably clear, and most tools are provided. I fully expect years of trouble-free cycling. Only criticism I have is a rear light assembly should be included. Regards to the Large 48v battery pack provided it will more that provide for a day's riding even in hilly terrain. Hydraulic brakes guarantee my safety. Pedal Assist Settings (PAS) are quick to get accustomed to and help to make your ride enjoyable as you decide on the level of effort you put in.
Great, very speedy service – Exactly what I was after as a 1st time ebike buyer. Great value for money. I have now purchased a 2nd ebike for my wife.
Fabulous bike – Fabulous bike. I live in a very hilly area and the bike takes the hills with ease. I have 4 other e bikes and NOTHING surpasses the quality of this bike and a most reasonable price. The after sales has been fantastic and no question is "too hard" and is answered within an hour. Recommend this bike and the company to anyone. Well done.
