FAQ

Last updated

Biketerra is a 3D indoor cycling app for smart trainers. Ride real-world routes, upload or draw your own, complete structured workouts, and join online races and group rides — all from your browser or a Biketerra native app.

Does Biketerra have a free tier?

Yes. Free users can ride the 6 featured routes, upload up to 5 routes in total (keeping one at a time), and join any public online event for free.

Subscribers get access to ALL public routes, unlimited uploads, event hosting, clubs, collections and series, custom jerseys, API access, and maximum view distance.

What happens when my subscription expires?

You'll be moved back to the free tier. Your uploaded routes won't get deleted, but only the latest one will be accessible.

What hardware do I need for Biketerra?

A controllable smart trainer gives the best experience, but it isn't required. You can ride with a power meter, or use HR-to-Power with a compatible heart-rate monitor if you don't have power data.

There are several affordable smart trainers nowadays, such as the Jetblack Victory ($399) and the Wahoo KICKR CORE 2 ($549).

Biketerra uses rider power and weight to calculate virtual speed; wheel-speed sensors aren't used.

Which operating systems does Biketerra support?

Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android

Biketerra is browser-based, so you can use any browser that supports bluetooth... Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc.

If using Brave, enable the "Web Bluetooth API" feature in brave://flags.

If using iOS, you'll need to install the Biketerra native app (because Apple).

Does Biketerra work on Apple TV 4K?

Only via AirPlay. Biketerra doesn't have an Apple TV app, nor is it feasible. Biketerra is built on web technologies, but Apple TV lacks a web browser.

Does Biketerra support ANT+?

No. Biketerra requires bluetooth.

Why does it lag?

In Chrome, browse to chrome://settings/system and make sure the "Use graphics acceleration when available" setting is enabled.

For Windows users, you may need to manually add Chrome (or Biketerra, if using the native app) as a High Performance app:
