HOW DOES THE iBIKE MEASURE TEMPERATURE?
The iBike indicates the temperature INSIDE of your iBike. If you've been riding and air is
moving around your iBike, the temperature displayed will be close to the outdoor
temperature. However, if your iBike has been sitting in the hot sun, without airflow over it,
the display could show a significantly higher temperature.
NOTE: if you own a BLACK iBike, it will tend to over-report temperature by about 10F-15F,
particularly in sunny weather.
I PURCHASED A FIRMWARE KEY FOR MY IBIKE. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
All purchase firmware keys are customized to the serial number of your iBike; until we
have your correct serial number we can't create customized firmware updates for your
iBike. Once you email us your serial number we will mail you your firmware key.
WHAT IS "TOTAL VERTICAL CLIMBED"?
Any time you climb, the iBike will accumulate the amount of elevation gain.
Example: You climb a 100 foot hill, then descend 50 feet downhill, then slowly climb
another 25 feet, and then ride back to your starting spot, descending 75 feet along
the way. The iBike will show your Total Vertical as 100 + 25 = 125 feet.
DOES "TRIP RESET" ZERO-OUT SETUP, CALIBRATION, AND PREVIOUS RIDE
DATA?
No! Your total odometer, tilt and coast down calibrations, wireless IDs, and other profile
information are unaffected by trip reset. Also, any ride files recorded from prior rides is
unaffected.
IS THE IBIKE SUITABLE FOR RAINY RIDES?
Yes! Your iBike was designed to be water resistant so don't worry if you get it wet. If the
front port becomes filled with water your power readings may be wrong. To correct this
problem, remove your iBike, blow the water out of the front port, and dry your mount and
underside of the iBike with a dry cloth. Replace and continue on your ride.
TIP: IF YOU RIDE OFTEN IN RAINY CONDITIONS, CONSIDER PURCHASING THE OPTIONAL
REMOTE WIND SENSOR (RWS). THE RWS WILL KEEP RAIN FROM FILLING THE IBIKE'S
WIND PORT AND WILL IMPROVE WATTS ACCURACY DURING RAINY RIDES.
HOW DO I HARD RESET THE iBike?
Your iBike contains a microprocessor. It is possible, though extremely unlikely, that your
iBike might experience a computer "freeze" malfunction. Symptoms of a freeze include: the
buttons do not function properly, the screens are frozen, or you can't download rides. In
this unlikely event a hard-reset may correct the problem. To do a "hard reset" perform the
following steps:
1. Remove the battery from your iBike.
2. Reinstall the battery, upside down. That is, install it so that you do NOT see the +
sign of the battery.
3. Leave the battery in the upside down position for five seconds.
4. Remove the battery and reinstall it normally, that is, with the + side up so that you
