And it is fully compatible with powerpod. **Q: Does the product work with bicycle roller trainers?** A: No. It requires wind resistance on the road. **Q: Is this the unit with power stroke feature addition included? is this sold with the garmin attachment, or is that seperate?** A: Hi, PowerStroke is a software feature for the PowerPod, collects data on the bicycle movement in all dictations to calculate your pedaling efficiency and wasted power, for this you need a separate cadence sensor not included. The data is later available using a free software called Issac that you can download. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If the Tour de France is not trying to get in touch with you, this device works well. *by G***T on April 30, 2022* First of all Velocomp is a part-time business so there for you will have to leave a message or email them. They usually answer your email and will return your call. This my second PP, the taps broke off after many years of use.1. Issac SW was written by Sheldon Cooper. The program is in no way intuitive unless you are a MIT graduate. It has taken all this time to sort of get the hang of the program.2. Newton is the SW Operating Program of the device itself. When it says transfer the profile to Newton it means to put it on the device.3. There is no Issac of Dummies on the web. nor at Velocomp.com. Good Luck.4. When you sort of get use to the Issac program the device does what it's designed to do: show watts on your Bike Computer via WiFi.5. Accuracy appears to be fine but then again I'm not trying to do the Tour day France. If you want more, try Garmin or Shimano for $1200+6. The Velocomp 3 is what I expected; nothing more nothing less. The power number I get (accuracy assumed) tells me whether I had a good ride or a sucky ride.7. Maybe the boys at Velocomp will put out a Issac for Dummies book on day ### ⭐ Great idea, horrible execution *by T***0 on June 18, 2020* I tried and tried...and tried... and tried to get this to work. Followed each set up step in detail numerous times, resetting the unit and trying again. Tried troubleshooting from the companies website (which is littered with troubleshooting tickets). No joy. I have a garmin speed sensor on the front wheel and confirmed pairing each try. Calibration would run though 100 watts then jump to 600 then stick at 50. Or calibration would just restart from 0 after reaching 100. I've spent enough time fumbling with this thing. Back to reliable pedals and back to hoping something comes on market that I can easily transfer from road, to mtn, to gravel bike -- and that actually works. ### ⭐⭐ Not for colorblind people | couldn't get support *by A***S on January 28, 2021* I was really excited by the idea of getting an affordable Left/Right power meter that I could move between bikes. Unfortunately it didn't work out for me.I had trouble calibrating the Powerpod. I am partially color-blind, and the Powerpod's "user interface" is a single LED that displays a steady or flashing red, green, or yellow depending on its status. With some effort, I could distinguish when the LED was red, but green and yellow looked the same to me. In situations like this, I enlist the help of my wife who is great with colors. But she also had trouble distinguishing between the yellow and green. Add to this the fact that when the Powerpod was mounted, the LED was obstructed by my road bike handlebars. So imagine a partially color-blind person riding in bright daylight and trying to decipher a colored -- and partially obstructed -- LED indicator.Chances are that you're not color blind, and so maybe you'll have no trouble calibrating the Powerpod. But I had enough other reservations that I decided to return it.I did eventually get the Powerpod calibrated and used it 3 or 4 times over the course of about 100 miles. I regularly had problems with power readings of zero on steep descents even though I was pedaling hard. I tried calling the support line, but my call went to a voice mailbox that sounded like it was a specific person with the company. So I sent an email to Powerpod support that included my contact information, issues, the specifics of my bike's electronics, and a request to either call me or open a ticket. I never received any kind of response.I'm giving Powerpod the benefit of the doubt and giving it 2 stars. It's a great concept that gets some positive reviews, and maybe it will work for you. But at least for me it was a time suck that delivered no value. Thankfully it was super easy to return and my account was quickly credited. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/152608682-powerpod-v3-high-accuracy-black-cycling-power-meter-for-road](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/152608682-powerpod-v3-high-accuracy-black-cycling-power-meter-for-road) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
