Is the bike powered by electricity? Or just battery for the meter?

Batteries go in the odometer/computer bit which clips into the handlebars and plugs into the flywheel part with a wire. The screen turns on when pedaling. The resistance on the wheel the pedals are all mechanical.

Batteries yes. Not energizer. It was 'industrial something' it's been awhile. But you will replace them often. This meter is a battery hog

It can be powered by either. Don't waste your money on this product though. Very poorly made and breaks easily.

It's not electric. The only battery is for the console for your distance, time and calories you burn. I love this bike. It's very quiet and is a very comfortable ride. I do 30 miles a night just watching tv and have lost 40lbs.

Its an electronic power meter that calculates/estimates power based on the rpm and the gear. I don't know of any power meter that does not use computer to calculate/estimate power output.

Electricity powers the machine. Mechanics are the movement the machine making it function.

Its powered by the bikes battery. Running the wires can take a little time and skill to do cleanly.

Display runs on batteries. Not sure of time on pads only had our unit for 3 months. Computer is not needed for bike to work.

Although I love the bike, the power monitor/display leaves much to be improved upon. It eventually turns off, but I ended up purchasing the AC adapter. In the long run it will be more cost effective. The only reason to continue to use batteries is if you cannot possibly place the bike near an outlet. Good luck!

The bike plays music, so there is a separate capartment for what I think are AAA batteries. The bike is ran mostly by the battery that is included. If you want it to play music you will need other batteries.

This uses an AC adapter that comes out at the bottom front of the bike. There are no batteries and it will not save any information for you such as times, weight, or target heart rate. Also, I should note to a potential buyer I have had lot of problems with the internal wiring coming lose while I was exercising. I would have a high resistance set, the wires would wiggle lose and it would reset to zero resistance sending my feet flying. Also, my times and calorie count would be lost. I've left the display panel hanging off and added electrical tape to the wire to keep it from coming lose.

Battery powered. Its been many months since I installed them, probably AAA, but I forget.

There is a power cord included in the box. From what I can remember (my first bike was damaged and I am waiting for a replacement) the hole to insert the cord is in the front right above the cross piece that supports the bike. I hope I am remembering correctly and I hope this helped!

Yes, the bike is not dependent on batteries. The batteries allow the attached computer to compile minutes exercised, heart rate, etc. I personally prefer using batteries as opposed to the A/C adapter as the bike is not tethered to an electrical outlet.

Hi Ben I've been sent to respond to the question you've asked but first i have a question for you...did your bike come with a battery are did you had to buy one ???

The bike is ran on manual power meaning you do all the work. You will need two triple A batteries for the monitor only.

It runs of electricity. But I had ro send mine back. It was deflected upon arrival. Never worked
