Its the most comfortable bike i have ever ridden, lacks a bit of torque but thats because I'm used to the ridstar q20 pro. Its an excellent back up bike
What a splendid piece of machinery I have a choice to work hard on my ride or take it easy. I love it. It’s been a game changer.
Could not be happier with the service from ordering on Wednesday evening to riding on Friday afternoon two day delivery simple to assemble comfortable to ride using the bike to commute to and from work light is very bright dark mornings no problem.
It was a fast and straightforward process in all regards. Even though a little thing is still missing I learned a lot via the offered tutorials. I did my first ride out today and that on my usual daily commute and it was a full success. Service and Quality are on high level
Great responsive sales advice from Megan and received the bike within a week of ordering. It was relatively easy to assemble watching the video instructions (at half speed!)
I'm really happy with the Cargo bike for the money I paid. It feels solid and has enough power to get me up reasonably steep hill where I live. I love that the accessories are reasonably priced (I paid $60 each for the kiddie safety railing and cargo basket which I have been able to attach to the front carrier, although it would habe been good if the predrilled holes on the cargo basket were also drilled on the front carrier. It is designed to go on the back, but since I have kids in the back I needed a big basket up front. The two batteries feature is also good. I drained my first one and could switch to the second one to get home. I got about 50ks out of a single charge of both batteries, but I am living at the top of a hill so frequently using level three assist.
Basically this bike is good value in my book at $2,400 all up with accessories. Any comparable cargo bikes are about $3,500 to 4,500 with heavy price tags on the accessories (nearly $350 for a kiddie rail and seat padding on the cargo tail!). The 2 year warranty is a big bonus and I believe the customer service will be good if I need it, based on other reviews, which were also consistent with my purchase experience. There is zero branding on the bike which indicates a straight from source scenario, but this seems to have helped considerably lower the price. Overall I would recommend the cargo bike if you are looking for this type of bike for school runs etc. My daughter loves hollering to all her friends as we whizz past. She has dubbed it "Zoomer"! I was nervous because the bike is a recent addition to Merkx range and there were no other reviews. Other than the occasional gear slip which I will get around to adjusting, everything has worked perfectly out of the box and its a fun ride. Handles well on grass also with the fat tyres. Hope this review helps others who are looking. I am really happy with the extra daily incidental exercise im getting (I still need to pedal hard to get up the hills, its not a cruiser!) But this is what I was looking for.
I really love this bike. It's a little bit harder suspension than I expected. I have been very jarred when I hit potholes but it's exceeded my expectations in every other way. I absolutely love it and it's bought real joy into my life. For the price I could absolutely forgive it not having decent suspension to be honest. I certainly wouldn't be riding trail on it! But for road riding and bike paths and even reasonably smooth dirt it's proved admirable.
I admit I zip along at max speed as I use it mostly for commuting... Actually I use it all for commuting at this stage up to 50 km a day. The battery is usually on one bar by the time I do this, I pedal all the time as fast as I can, often just because that's what I'm used to and I can actually get a little bit of a workout (higher HR) that way by spinning the legs!
The headlight is really good and I like that the tail light comes on when you brake... The little horn is also quite loud for warning people when you're coming past.
My bike shop said they recommend me bring it in for service after 1000 K and that I will probably go through the tyres quite quickly and the service at least initially will cost about $100 or so... With this in mind, it may not end up being all that economical if price of fuel wasn't so high but it also saves wear and tear on one's motor vehicle and just being outside feeling the wind and sun in your face is delightful... Especially when you're not sweating at the same time ha ha !
Brakes are so-so but as an experienced writer with also so many decades of riding motorbikes in the past I'm fairly astute at reading conditions. I could see this being a trap for the unwary though, especially at the speeds they can go.
I'm a 63-year-old female who used to do a lot of sports but has got a little lazier in the last year or so... And my mountain bike had been sitting with flat tyres in the garage for probably two ! This bike definitely has made me enjoy riding again! I'm so very happy I bought this bike and I think it's really good value for money. I have had it for about six weeks I guess and done 500 km on it. I bought a second battery just in case I need that and I'm having trouble charging the other one and I think that's a good thing to do personally.
Fantastic Customer Service, amazing bike especially for the price. I'd buy a second bike in the future for sure. Thankyou guys for such a fun ride! The S600 has surpassed all my expectations on what an E Bike can be to get me out and about again :)
Very happy with this purchase
Had a couple of questions in regards to assembly and received fast helpful assistance
Can’t believe the distance I’m getting on one battery
Rear suspension a bit stiff for me but what a great all round bit of gear
Great bike, had to go into settings & tone the take off down, it was a bit lively off the mark, also dropped the max speed down to 25 km just in case, but can increase both when off a govt roads. Definitely worth the money compared to other brands, super easy to assemble as most of it comes ready.
Got 2 of these as a husband and wife activity to do together. It was delivered quite quickly, fairly easy to put together and is heaps of fun to ride. Quite powerful too. Happy with our purchase
apart from a small dent in the helmet during shipping everything else arrived in good order. bike went together without any issues and I am very happy with this purchase.
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 & front suspension could have adjustments on them to get the best ride.
Very happy with my purchase. of the two S600s
Came in on expected time which was great and the service from merkx is great!! As for the bike easy to put together and ive added some extras on it too, love this bike lots of torque and solid!
Great BIKE -easy to put to together - great to ride with a smooth ride and good control on corners - on the negative -still waiting for my bike helmet and there is no rear brake light - overall a great bike
Hey sorry about this, helmet coming now, cheers
I’ve only had my bike up and running for a day and it’s exceeded my expectations. Solid bike, lots of power that’s hauls my fat butt around with ease.
The only suggestion for future bikes (or available to buy) would be to had adjustable suspension both front and rear ie increase preload to stop bottoming out.
Aside from that, great bike!
So far so good, a smooth comfortable ride and the long battery life is a game changer. Easy to ride long distances in comfort.
Awesome range, feel and handling on both bikes. S600 is more of a peddler has more space and hits about 50kph with a smaller battery. Q20 not really a peddler, bigger battery and power for just throttle - straightto 60kph huge range. Great motor switches for swapping on the go, comphy seat, way lower stance, attracts more attention as a motorcycle look. MERKX / Megan have been awsome to deal with - from one side of the country to the other and remote fast responses freight and quality bikes.
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.
Absolute great team to deal with, great product and after sales service is second to none, great work guys a credit to you
The HUS V1 is absolutely fantastic. It's very reliable, well built, and clearly made with quality in mind. The battery life is impressive - long enough that the kids can ride and play for hours without constant recharging.
This bike has been great for building confidence and skills, especially for kids who are interested in motocross. It handles well, feels solid, and stands up to regular use with no issues so far.
Highly recommended bike for young riders. Durable, fun, and perfect for developing motocross skills.
Great bike, description is exactly what you receive. The power is awesome, goes full speed up steep hills. Love it.
When the package arrived one of the mirrors was broken. I sent them an email and they sent me mirrors instantly without an issue.
Very happy.
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.
Excellent product highly recommend buying one they are reasonably easy to assemble. The bike absolutely fly. Thanks again for the great service and prompt delivery love them
