This can be overcome, much like on the road with changing gears, by reducing wattage before starting pedaling again.
When set on a higher resistance, such as 250w, if the rider stopped pedaling for a while, getting going again required substantial effort akin to a dead start on the road in a huge gear. One tester found one element of the erg setting frustrating. The connection was never dropped, readouts were almost immediate, and changes to resistance took between less than a second and about three seconds, depending on how drastic the change was.

We tested the Kickr with Bluetooth on iPhones and with ANT+ on laptops with an ANT+ USB stick. That, combined with the fact that it requires an electrical power source, puts it on the opposite end of the spectrum from a standard resistance trainer that you can set up anywhere, and just hop on and go. On the negative side, the Kickr requires an external device to control it.

On the plus side, the Kickr can be controlled by a variety of external sources iPhone, iPad, Mac computer, PC computer. We tested the Kickr's wattage readings against power meters from SRM and Stages and found the data to be within four percent between the three. The simulation setting we did not play with, as it seems unnecessarily complicated without any additional training benefit. The erg setting, however, is the rare gem. The kickr folds up easily for storage although you won't want to store it anywhere but on the floor! The Kickr is quite heavy, but it does fold nicely for storage The first two settings aren't noticeably different from what you can achieve on a normal trainer. The Kickr has four settings: level (10 power curves), resistance (set in percentage), erg (specific wattage) and sim (a calculation of outdoor riding based on progammable slope and wind speed plus your entered physical measurements). And two, Kickr's open platform means you can plug it into any software, provided you have the compatible hardware (more on that below). In this regard it is similar to CompuTrainer, but with two significant differences.
Even better, you can connect the trainer to a variety of apps or programs that control the resistance in real-time to follow along with either a specific workout or a video course. When in ergo mode, you can set the exact level of resistance in watts, and then pedal at whatever cadence and in whatever gear you like. Features The Wahoo Kickr has a built-in power meter that allows you to not only accurately measure your efforts, but also control them.
There are certainly a few issues with the Kickr price and smartphone compatibility chief among them but this wireless ANT+/Bluetooth 4.0 power trainer is in a league of its own.
