RideWithPower

Send Power data to Bike Computer

Version for iOS Phones soon to come

Use your mobile phone and an ANT+ USB dongle to get real-time calculated power data on your bike computer.

RideWithPower was built for the cycling enthusiast who doesn't want to spend $800+ on a crank power meter but is still interested what his/her power is during your rides. RideWithPower App uses numerous variables to estimate your power output in real-time and transmits your power to your bike computer during your rides.

Knowing your average power during your rides may help to improve your cycling fitness.
You can analyze your results i.e. your average power output from your rides on the website and compare it with previous rides. This can be a great indication if you are making any progress.

We hope you enjoy RideWithPower as much as we do and if you have any questions and/or suggestions to make RideWithPower even better then please drop us an email.

DISCLAIMER
- The power data from RideWithPower can and should not be compared to physical power meters like Stages, SRM, Garmin Vector, PowerTap, Velocomp, Power2Max etc.

- RideWithPower has implemented sophisicated software algorithms to make the calculated power output as realistic as possible.

- Power output numbers from RideWithPower app are estimates and due to the nature of GPS accuracy and irregularities several smoothing algorithms have been applied to the algorithms resulting in a slight delay of the calculated power output.

- If you expect to see immediate changes in your power output when pushing down on the pedals then RideWithPower is probably not for you.

- If you are a recreational rider then the RideWithPower APP can help you to improve your fitness and increase your cycling strength.

- Your power output is calculated the same way for each ride and therefore your RideWithPower power output can be used as an indicator of your improvements.
