About this app

You don't have to be a professional rider for wanting effective bike trainings – regardless of your level.
Riding for a lot of miles is not THE way to progress. Carrying out effective trainings suppose short but specifics rides... which allows you to exert yourself physically in a short time.
How? BikePower may help you!

This free version without ads proposes the following features.

USE YOUR PHONE AS A BIKE COMPUTER
• optimized to be read on a handlebar (bike phone mount not supplied!),
• continuous, intermittent display – optional maximum brightness adjustment,
• easily accessible control buttons,
• compatible with ANT+ and Bluetooth Low Energy / Bluetooth Smart sensors (Android 4.3 minimum),
• displaying ordinary data: speed (current, average, maximum), distance, elapsed time, altitude, elevation gain,
• and extras: slope and power and, if you own corresponding sensors : cadence, absolute or relative heart rate (Karnoven method), gear ratio.
You don't own a bike phone mount? a customizable vocal feature allows doing without it!

FOLLOW PRESET WORKOUTS
• use 5 preset workouts (including long interval sessions and MAS),
• control coach notifications: visual, vocal or aural,
• pause or reset at any time,
You don't own sensors? Most of workouts can be done without!

SURPASS YOURSELF!
A special “chase” workout allow to ride against yourself on a prerecorded route.

ASSESS YOUR PHYSICAL PROGRESSES
• follow your physical parameters (weight, body fat, muscle mass),
• test regularly your physical condition with the Ruffier test, take your resting pulse,
• analyze your progression for the last month or the last 6 months.

ANALYZE YOUR RIDES
• automatic analysis of climb zones,
• charts: altitude, speed, heart rate, cadence,
• detailed statistics for climbs and kilometers (or miles) sections: distance, duration, elevation gain, average slope, power, gear ratio, average cadence, average heart rate,
• analysis of heart rate and cadence distributions,
• relive your rides on the ride player.


IMPORTANT

PHYSICAL CONDITION – RISKS
Road bike is potentially a risk activity and should not be done without medical supervision.
The bike computer provided by the app must be used in the same way than an ordinary bike computer. BikePower is thought to limit handling but can not prevent inappropriate uses (like making calls while riding).

GPS
GPS accuracy is essential to have reliable results.
Slope and instant power data can be temporarily inaccurate: this does not affect the subsequent ride analysis.
