POWER READS HIGH OR LOW The Powermeter measures the 3-dimensional deflection of the left crank due to the force exerted into the pedal, the same technology used in outdoor cycling. It is a result of resistance applied and pedal speed, but because a pedal stroke is cyclical, the force is averaged over 3 seconds.
