Velocomp starts to ship iBike Powerhouse

Depending on your current fitness level, the revolutionary iBike Powerhouse will play nice with your iPhone and iPod touch, measuring and guiding while motivating you to achieve important health, appearance, and fitness goals. One major benefit of the Powerhouse is to maximize the benefit of each ride, while reducing the amount of time required to achieve results.

Individual rides will see you given directions to pedal at specific levels of effort (translated to power), as you customize the plan’s goals alongside your measured fitness level. The iBike Powerhouse retails for $279 a pop and will comprise of the case, electronics, Powerhouse app, speed/cadence sensor, iSlim and CycleMax plans, and mounting system.
