4. Wattbike Performance Computer

Operating the Wattbike is very easy. Simply sit on the Wattbike, turn on the Wattbike Performance Computer (WPC), select 'Just
Ride' , press ENTER and start pedaling. The Wattbike Performance Computer will start immediately and show the 'Main menu' .
Learning how to adjust the resistance levels and familiarizing yourself with the WPC is just as easy.
The Wattbike Performance Computer is fitted with a rechargeable battery and does not require an external power supply.
When cycling at a cadence of 50 r/m and above the battery is recharged with the help of an integrated generator. It can also
be recharged using an external plug-in battery charger although the need for external recharging is almost eliminated by the
addition of the generator. You should recharge your Wattbike Performance Computer using the external plug-in battery charger
once per month. ALWAYS charge the battery with the Wattbike Performance Computer switched off and only use the battery
charger supplied with your Wattbike, failure to do so may damage the rechargeable batteries. The WPC can only operate with
the original factory supplied accu-batteries. Please contact your Wattbike distributor if you experience any battery problems.
The WPC links with a Garmin or Suunto ANT Sport heart rate chest belt for heart rate display, or uncoded polar belts.
This product is ANT+™ certi ed and recieves data from ANT+ compatible heart rate
sensors, and transmits bike data to other ANT+ display devices or apps that recieve
bike power or combined speed & cadence data.

Warning
•
Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercise may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint stop
exercising immeadiately.
There is a RESET button on the back of the Wattbike Performance Computer – this should only be used if the Wattbike
Performance Computer display stops working or shows inconsistent data.
NOTE – You will not lose any data saved in the Memory if you activate the RESET button. If in doubt contact your local Wattbike
distributor.

5. The Wattbike Unique Dual Braking System

The braking system is classified as 'unadjustable' , although both the air brake and magnetic brake are adjustable manually.
Air Brake Damper Lever
The Wattbike features a unique patent protected dual braking system to recreate the feel of cycling on the flat and whilst
climbing.
The air brake damper lever recreates the feel of cycling on the flat using different resistances. The
'gear lever' can be moved from '1 through to 10' where '1' represents the lightest gearing and '10' the
heaviest. The damper lever regulates the flow of air entering the flywheel. By increasing the aperture
the flow of air and the resistance is increased.
For most workout situations the rider will only need to apply the air brake damper lever. The resistance
can be adjusted during a workout, just as on a road cycle without compromising the validity of the
data.
