Concept2 BikeErg + Zwift | Works right out of the box!

The Concept2 BikeErg works right out of the box with Zwift! The PM5 transmits via bluetooth to Zwift so you're able to pass both Watts and Cadence to a device that can receive bluetooth signals. With my Mac, it connected immediately. If you have an issues, check out the Zwift companion app which can help bridge the connection. In the past I had a smart trainer on my road bike which required a ton of extra sensors to transmit data and would often drop the Zwift connection. The BikeErg is affordable, extremely well built, and just works. 100% recommend for a very painful, but fun, Zwifting experience. If you're buying any gear & you find value in my videos, please consider buying through our links as it helps me to continue bringing you great content.

I’ve been Zwifting on the Concept2 Bikerg for over 2 years now. Your video help me to figure out how to get started. Thanks. David

Thanks for a clear description. It’s a great bike but I can’t live with the noise of the fan. Glad you reported on that aspect 👏🏻👏🏻

Nice! I made a video on how to connect your Concept 2 Rower to Zwift and Trainer Road using the Pain Sled app. Thanks for the tips

Nice job, I've been using the concept Bike Erg and Zwift for over a year now and find it's a superb introduction to a static bike/zwift combo. The only thing I wish I could do is pause a ride and take a comfort break but because the PM5 times out I can't get it to restart my zwift connection unless I restart the session! I do love concept though, have the Model E rower (please zwift!!) and the Ski Erg.

Thanks for video, my friend. I have a smart trainer I used with Zwift, but in our covid gym, it's kind of pain to setup an actual bike on it when we are constantly moving things around for workouts. I love the resistance that the game applies on a smart trainer, but for quick workouts where you just want to get out there and burn calories and don't really need to simulate the resistance from the game, this thing would be ideal for us. Another way for me to justify the purchase to my wife- it works with zwift out of the box.

Great video, I have this bike and I love it.

[RodrigoGarciactg]

Yes!!! Thanks for this man! I have a bikkerg and gonna try this out

[baileydimenna]

Just wondering if you realize that your handlebar is on upside-down?

[HorizontalLifestyle]

Good video dude I be all over this bike but it sounds like a plane taking off!Be worried upstairs and downstairs flats would kick my door down lol.

[pablomarrero]

nice room. rower, treadmill and bike. you got anything else in there?

[carrickdubya]

Thanks for showing what Zwift looks like, but I was hoping it was more realistic. Cheers

Is this bike still something to get in 2023/2024? Thinking of going with Rogue Echo, Peloton or Concept 2 bike.

Rob...thank you for this video. I have a Bike ERG as well and like it very much. It could be my imagination...but I find that in races it's hard to stay in the draft when the pack moves out...like the bike ERG is a little under-responsive. I end up putting out a lot more watts/kg then people around me. Have you noticed anything along these lines?

[BooksWithBrad]

How accurate do you find the reported wattage? do you find at the end of a ride that the mileage on zwift and pm5 are quite different? Like if you biked the very flat route that they offer would it be pretty similar?

[natebisque]

Do you like ur handlebars in that direction seems uncomfortable?

I've been considering this bike but I'm concerned whether the resistance is sufficient. I like to blast my quads by pedaling against high resistance in short sprints-- can I achieve this with the BikeErg?

[CsabaTothMr]

So what if someone doesn't have a Mac and so cannot handle ANT+? What's the Bluetooth name of the BikeErg if you scan it with any BLE application?

[Gugner]

I don’t get it. How do you connect your computer to the ergo bike?
And how do you have to connect your flat screen to your computer?

[Rothwellsmith]

Hey - thanks for the video - but what did you do to originally pair the pm5 with your computer? It doesn't look like you are using a ant+ dongle.. . were you able to pair it over blue tooth? Hope you can help
