Worked well initially but app now useless – I have owned this product since 2013. The companion app “Run on Earth” worked pretty well for a few years, but the app hasn’t been updated for 7… Read more
years and no longer runs on current devices, e.g. iPad or iPhone. About a year ago, I started looking for other fitness apps which might potentially work with the i.Pixel. I started using FulGaz (an Australian app) which works after I fitted a third party BLE speed sensor (e.g. Garmin or Wahoo) to the crank of the i.pixel bike. One drawback is the variable resistance feature of the i.Pixel is not activated, but you still get a reasonable workout. Later, I discovered the Kinomap app, which has many cycle rides filmed and geolocated with height data to activate the variable resistance feature of the i.Pixel. Kinomap works directly with the i.Pixel via Bluetooth (very early versions of i.Pixel require a console upgrade to support Bluetooth.). However, I prefer FulGaz as the ride videos are much better quality. For maximum effect, I connect a spare TV to the iPad via an Apple HDMI adaptor to display the ride video on a bigger screen.
Won't recommend it! Better look for another brand – It does the job if you are looking for a basic elliptical trainer. But for this particular brand, I won't recommend it. The instruction manual is so… Read more
difficult to follow. I wish they had Ikea-like step by step instruction with pictures/drawings to guide you on how to assemble the whole thing! Since day one I had it completely assembled, the main vertical bar in the front keeps rocking side to side whenever you step on the foot pedals. A technician came and advised to keep tightening the nuts and bolts. I'm afraid this won't last a year at the rate this whole thing keeps rocking. And a plastic cover at the base keeps popping out of place. Even the technician admitted he could not fix it and sort of live with it. So I just taped it over to hold it in place. I could not be bothered sending back the product because I need to dismantle the whole thing and put all the parts in their original packaging/box. And who knows what excuses I would later hear from the retailer to reject the claim! So, my advice is to consider and try other brands, and save yourself money and from grief!
