The numbers on the screen will flash. • The timers will continue timing—including the Total and Stage timers—for 5 minutes. Schwinn added this functionality to allow instructors to get off the bike and coach off the bike while trusting their timers will remain in sync with all the riders in the room.

Going into SUMMARY Mode • SUMMARY mode signals the end of the ride. There are a couple ways to enter SUMMARY mode: • Stop pedaling and enter PAUSE mode. • After 5 minutes have elapsed without you pedaling, the console will enter SUMMARY mode. •...
Proper calibration of the power sensor is crucial to achieving a high level of accuracy. • Schwinn does not validate the accuracy of the Echelon2G against commercial road bike power meters since all power meters measure power differently. Therefore, it is possible that the power reported by the Echelon2G will not match the power reported by commercial power meters for road bikes.

Heart Rate • Heart rate will only display when the rider is wearing a compatible heart rate strap and follows the instructions in the section above titled “Pairing a compatible heart rate monitor. ” Total Ride Time, Distance, and Average Power •...
Therefore, values for AVERAGE POWER and distance should not be compared to outdoor riding; rather they should be used as standalone performance parameters for training on a Schwinn indoor bike equipped with an Echelon2G console and power sensor.
