Finally, a power meter that doesn't mess up your bike and empty out your wallet.

The new Version 2 PowerPod has all of the great features of the original PowerPod, and now you have the option to use it with your Bluetooth Device as well, using BLE.  The Version 2 model can be upgraded to a BLE device by downloading an upgrade key from Velocomp the manufacturer of the Powerpod

PowerPod BLE/ANT+ power meter wirelessly transmits its power measurements simultaneously in the two most popular formats: ANT+ and can now be upgraded to function with BLE.  This means that PowerPod BLE/ANT+ will work with popular bike computers (such as Garmin) and can be equipped to also work with BLE smartphone apps such as Powerhouse®, Wahoo Fitness, and Strava.  If you happen to have both an ANT+ bike computer and BLE smartphone on your bike then BOTH DEVICES will receive PowerPod power readings at the same time.

PowerPod is the first power meter that attaches to your handlebars--no need to change your crank, wheel, pedals, or bottom bracket. Delivers both-leg accuracy on par with both-leg power meters costing 5 times as much, and accuracy superior to one-leg power meters.

PowerPod is the only power meter that moves effortlessly from bike to bike. It works with any ANT+ bike computer, and is the only power meter that doesn't cost a fortune.

  • Lightweight
  • Affordable
  • BLE/ANT+ Compatible
  • Transferable from bike to bike
  • Accurate
  • Easy to set up

How PowerPod works
PowerPod measures, up to 800 times per second, the opposing forces caused by hills, wind, acceleration, and friction. Opposing forces, matched identically by the forces applied by both legs, determine the cyclist's power.

  • Use any crank, wheels, or pedals
  • Moves easily from bike to bike
  • Sends power measurement to any ANT+ bike computer (such as Garmin or Bryton) that displays power information
  • Works on road bikes, cross bikes, and mountain bikes
  • Incredibly accurate, both leg power measurement
  • GoPro-style handlebar mount
  • Includes Isaac software for Mac/PC, giving you exclusive PowerPod data including wind speed, hill slope, CdA aerodynamic efficiency, and more

If Power is all you want, PowerPod has all you need when you pull it out of the box. However, if you want it to, PowerPod can be so much more than just a power meter.

For advanced users, PowerPod will help you bring your awareness to a new, bigger picture level – making you a smarter, stronger, more capable cyclist.

Easy to Install
You don't have to swap-out your wheels, crank, pedals, or bottom bracket, and there's no gluing or water bags either.

Great value power meter

Extremely happy with the powerpod. If you carefully calibrate the unit - a once off process per bike - this seems to result in accurate and consistent power numbers. This is my third power meter, and the numbers are consistent across devices. I really appreciate the ability to quickly swap between bikes. The technical support team have been excellent, and the firmware updates are constantly improving the device. Read the DC Rainmaker review if you have any doubts. The only downside is that you need to purchase extra features such as left/right reading and Bluetooth LE. I think these should be included, but can live without them. Overall, very good value for money.

Power pod

Excellent so far does everything I need.

Great product

The powerpod works well, and unlike other power meters it's easy to change to another bike. There is also software you can download and gives all kinds of data a out your ride. With the powerpod you do need a calibration ride, so for the first 5 mins will count from 1-100w before it will start showing your power. But great product. Powerpod have a forum and the guys there are willing to help you and check your calibration etc. Also not to do with the review, but the staff at prokitbike had been very helpful.

Power Pod

Well, it did seem to be working fine, then it stopped working. Think I've only had it for about 3 months. Hopefully ProBikeKit will replace it, they seem to be very good like that :-)

PowerPod

Seems to work pretty well, although I probably haven't set it up fully, but it is adequate for my requirements :-)

Exceeded expectations

After a lot of research I opted for the PowerPod as a left-crank solution would be ineffective given a known power left-right power imbalance, dual-leg crank options were expensive and pedal-based options introduced bearing and cleat dependencies. Portability between bikes was also desirable. I hadn't realised that this is an evolution of an older product called Newton so the tech is well proven. Some effort is required with initial setup and there is a dependency on additional speed and optional cadence sensors for it to work but which can be purchased cheaply. Aside from providing live power readings which feed into Strava analytics etc, the data from the software is insightful and using the optional PowerStroke upgrade I discovered a slight power stutter in my right leg stroke which I am working to smooth out. This is not a slickly marketed or presented product but it is has clearly been developed and supported by knowledgeable enthusiasts and is well worth considering.

So far so good

Arrived in better than expected time. Easy to install, i did purchase a Garmin mount with Go-pro attachment all in one to save clutter on my handle bars. The watts i get back are inline with others I'm riding with different types of power meters.

Good Cheap Power

Been looking at power for a long time and they are just too expensive for me. So this looked fairly good and cheap, I researched this quite a bit and it has been tested by other against other power meters and seems to be no more less accurate than others. The setup documentation could be a little better, but its easy to setup once you get the hang of it. It also take around 5miles to calibrate which I did on a local track loop. Note that you need to pair the unit with a speed sensor not supplied. Works well with Garmin Edge 520 and Garmin Connect, Strava and other stuff seems to work as expected. There is software supplied (download) which I never used except for initial setup. This is good for first power meter or if you are on a budget.

excelent

Excelent powermeter :) Simple Setup measures: Wind Speed Hill Slope Elevation Braking Drafting Shifting and give you the power data too :)

Great Product

It was easy to install and it appears to work great with Garmin Edge 1000 and Garmin Edge 1030. I'm now trying to learn how to interpret all the data it captures.
