The new Bkool Mobile app for IOS and Android finally at your fingertips
Bkoolers, after several months of hard work, we can now share our new application. Using this application, you can control your Bkool trainer anytime without Internet connection and best of all, its available for all our users.
The new app allows you to pair your IOS or Android smartphone using Bluetooth to the Bkool Simulator. Just connect your trainer and select the workout mode: ERG, Slope or Free Ride.
You can download the application, Bkool Mobile from here:
How to start your training with Bkool Mobile application
First, pair the devices you are going to use on the upper right (Android) or upper left icon (IOS). Now you will see icons for all the Bluetooth devices available to pair (trainer, potentiometers, heart rate monitors…). Click on them to pair and choose PAIR.
Once paired, you’ll be taken to the home of the application. You’ll find the training modes: ERG, Slope and Free. Prior to start the session, you can choose which indicators you want to see by simply clicking on them. Some indicators are by default but you can customise them to show the information that you want to see.
ERG mode
If we choose ERG, just below the types of training it says: “TIME”, select the time you wish to ride during this workout, or select no objective. Once finished, press START SESSION.
Remember that on a ERG session you can activate the ERG tab sliding it to the right and using the – and + to change the power target. You’ll note it the resistance of the trainer changing to keep you at your target power.
Slope Mode
In this mode you can choose the distance you want to cover with a specific gradient.
Once the session is started, you can change the gradient (resistance) using + and – keys on the screen.
FREE mode
In this mode you can do a training based on distance or time but you won’t be able to set the power with ERG or Slope.
Remember that Bkool Classic with 2.04 firmware or older don’t have Bluetooth connectivity. You’ll need an ANT+ Android smartphone (not available in IOS).
So, let’s train!
