Why doesn’t my workout history show 100% on the intensity scale, even though it did during the workout?

The intensity percentage displayed during your workout is a preliminary calculation. This value is recalculated and refined once the complete workout data is processed and stored in your workout history. This recalculation may result in a slightly different percentage being displayed in your history. Therefore, the 100% you see initially is not the final value.

If you exit the BODY BIKE app, for example, to change music or reply to a message while cycling, the app will lose connection to the bike. During this time, power and cadence data are not received from the bike, which is used to calculate speed and distance, although time continues to be recorded. This loss of data can be a reason why the intensity may not show 100% at the end of the workout.

Why is Strava time different from the time in the BODY BIKE App?

The time discrepancy between Strava and the BODY BIKE app is due to how each platform handles time zone information.

Strava uses the timestamp in the file and the UTC offset of your riding location (based on GPS data) to determine the start time.

The BODY BIKE App may have a slightly different time formatting, potentially leading to variations in the start time and date.

To ensure accurate time display on Strava:

1)  Go to your Strava account on the website. Open the menu from your profile picture and select Settings.

2)  Ensure your location is set correctly. Try changing it to Los Angeles, saving, refreshing the page, and then setting it back to your current location and save again.

How can I transfer BODY BIKE workout data to Strava?

How can I transfer BODY BIKE App data from Android to iPhone

Currently, our app (version 2.2.7 and earlier) does not have the capability to transfer data from an Android phone to an iPhone, or iPhone to Android phone.

BODY BIKE prioritizes your privacy and does not store any user data on its servers. While some users appreciate this, it also means that saving your training data requires additional steps.

If you’d like to keep your training records, you can connect to Strava. However, please note that any medals earned in the BODY BIKE app will not transfer to Strava.

For those switching devices (e.g., from Android to Android or iPhone to iPhone), you can transfer your data within the app. You can finde the transfer guides here

How do I save BODY BIKE exercise data or display it on a big screen using ANT+?

The BODY BIKE Connect Indoor Bike and Performance Console transmit data using the ANT+ protocol. This allows you to receive data on any ANT+ compatible device, such as some outdoor bike computers and watches. If you’re using a phone or tablet without ANT+, you can purchase an ANT+ key to enable your device to pick up the signal.

Once you’re able to receive the ANT+ signal, you’ll need a software program to process the data. There are various options available, and new ones are being developed regularly. Some focus on data storage, while others use the data for interactive purposes, like games on a big screen.

One popular application for storing and analyzing data is MapMyFitness. You can download a guide to using MapMyFitness to help you get started.

Please note that BODY BIKE cannot provide support for ANT+ devices or accessories that you purchase for phones or tablets.
