A Stages cycling power meter is a device that is placed on a bike and measures the power output from the rider. They are usually mounted in the bottom bracket of the bike so it is out of the way but still able to work to its best ability. They are used by professional cyclists to measure their output ability but can be used by anyone who has an interest in training hard and seeing their progress.

Once the battery has ran out, it is very simple to replace and does not need any tools such as a screwdriver or an allen key.
