Battery life’s minimum floor is 200 hours, but they’re hoping for 250-300hrs. IQ2’s pod is powered by a standard CR2032 coin cell battery used by countless others. Of course, other companies have used pods previously – including Polar and Look. By that, I mean that it uses a small pedal spacer akin to Limits, while shifting the communications/battery portion to an attached ‘pod’ that aligns next to your crank arm (like WatTeam or Vector 1/2). It’s part Limits and part Vector/WatTeam. In many ways, the IQ2 power meter is a blend of power meter concepts we’ve seen before.

So where does IQ2 fit in that paradigm? Well, I went for a 50KM bike ride to find out.īut first, if text isn’t your thing – then this video explains it all nice and quickly (even including the full installation): Same goes for data too – if I can’t see actual data with my own eyes…it’s probably not baked yet.

Specifically, I generally take the approach with power meters that unless I can touch and feel it in my hands, it’s not real. But my basis is simple: Show me the goods. Of course – if you’re a regular around here you know I have a ( perhaps unhealthy) fascination with digging into crowdfunded power meter projects. And in the case of today, that’s coming from a Dutch company called IQ2, and their power meter that just launched on Kickstarter. Still, there continues to be progress made on lowering the barrier to entry in the power meter world. Neither of which are reserved for only the most expensive units either. The technology of power meters a decade ago can’t do much of what today’s power meters do – for example, accurate temperature compensation, or high-speed data analytics. In fact, power meters have never been more accurate (on the whole) than now. Which doesn’t mean power meters are getting more inaccurate, nor does it mean there’s a race to the bottom. One only needs to look at my recent post on power meter pricing to see these plainly obvious pricing trends (in picture-graph format no less!). Especially my concerns in the last two full sections…not paragraphs, sections.)Īs each year passes, we continue to see drops in power meter prices.
