If you’re an avid cyclist, you know the value of a heart rate monitor, but how much do you know about power meters. Being new to the game, you might still be wondering what a power meter is and why you need one! Enter the Powerbeat by Watteam. The Powerbeat is a self-installed, crank arm based power meter.
It is a small device that uses strain gauges to measure the power output of a cyclist. But not just that, it calculates torque efficiency, individual leg balance, and cadence. All of that is used to train and improve a cyclist performance. All you have to do is download the Watteam Powerbeat app and then follow the instructions.
Now, there are three available Powerbeat options. There’s the Single which is a single side power meter that measures your left leg, at only $259 it is the most affordable power meter in the world. There’s the Dual, the flagship power meter, which measures both legs. And the 2pack that is a perfect option for multiple bikes.
It’s compatible with Bluetooth Smart, ANT+ and smart devices, and comes with a user-friendly mobile app that provides up to date firmware upgrades and full control over the Powerbeat.
