bicycle power meter

Cycling power meters have been commercially available since 1989 and is a device on a bicycle that allows measuring of the power output of the rider. They directly measure torque applied, and translate this to power. Models that mount in the bottom bracket, rear freehub, or crankset are popular.

With a power meter it is possible to gauge training intensity very accurately. Cyclists will often train at different intensities depending on what adaptations that are they are seeking. We are authorized PowerTap. A common practice is to use different intensity zones. When training with power these zones are usually calculated from the power output corresponding to the so called lactate threshold or MAP (maximal aerobic power).

Training using a power meter is increasingly popular. Most power meters also measure and display heart rate as well as riding speed, distance and time. Power meters provide an objective measurement that allows training progress to be tracked very simply - something that is more difficult when using for example a heart rate monitor alone. power DC Direct Voltage bicycle bicycle generator that creates 12Volts direct current which feeds into a volt meter and also into a 110VAC inverter.
