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
• The total ride timer will start timing once the rider turns on the console and begins pedaling.
• The timer will continue timing in Pause mode.
• The timer will stop timing once the console goes into Summary mode.
• Total ride distance can be set to display miles or kilometers. See the section below on Echelon2G Service Menu
Navigation and Operation.
• Distance is calculated using an algorithm that is based on power and not based on revolutions of the flywheel.
• The user must use resistance and actually put power into the pedals.
• Starting with firmware version 1.7, the algorithm is based upon a 165 lb rider riding a 20 lb bike on a flat rode
with no head wind and tail wind. Typical values for wind resistance and rolling resistance are incorporated into
the algorithm, so distance will not increase linearly with an increase in power.
• Since distance in the Echelon2G console accounts for only one typical case of outdoor riding, it should be used
solely as a performance indicator for an indoor workout.
• Total average ride power is the average power the rider rides at for the entire ride.
• Average power is updated every second.
• At any point if the rider wants to see the maximum power she/he has reached during the rider she/he can press
the AVG/MAX button twice to see their maximum ride power.
Stage Ride Time, Distance, and Average Power
• The stage ride timer will start timing once the rider hits the STAGE button.
• The timer will continue timing in Pause mode.
• The timer will stop timing once the rider hits the STAGE button a second time.
• Stage ride distance can be set to display miles or kilometers. See the section below on Echelon2G Service Menu
Navigation and Operation.
• Distance is calculated for the stage only using the same algorithm that is used for total ride distance.
• Stage average ride power is the average power the rider rides at for that stage.
• Average power is updated every second.
• At any point if the rider wants to see the maximum power she/he can press the AVG/MAX button twice to see
their maximum ride power
