Does Watta support the Concept2 BikeErg?

Yes. Watta supports the Concept2 BikeErg alongside the RowErg and SkiErg. The AI-powered OCR reads PM5 screen data from all three machines.

Can I track BikeErg and rowing in the same app?

Yes. Watta tracks all three Concept2 machine types in one app. Each workout is tagged by machine type (row, bike, or ski), and you can filter your history accordingly.

What data does Watta capture from BikeErg sessions?

Watta extracts split time (pace per 1,000m for BikeErg), distance, time, cadence/stroke rate, and calories from your PM5 screen photo.

Track your BikeErg sessions with AI-powered precision

By the Watta Team · Updated March 2026

The Concept2 BikeErg delivers the same air-resistance training as the RowErg, and it deserves the same quality tracking. Watta captures your PM5 data from a single photo and gives you Effort Scores to quantify every session.

App for BikeErg Users: Watta is a free, AI-powered rowing workout tracker. Snap your erg screen to capture data instantly. Get a 0-100 Effort Score combining cardiac load, work output, pacing, and economy. Track heart rate zones via the Karvonen method. Join clubs and squads to train with your crew.

The Problem

BikeErg lacks dedicated tracking apps

Cycling apps like Zwift and TrainerRoad are designed for smart trainers, not the BikeErg. Concept2 BikeErg users are left without a purpose-built tracking solution.

Manual logging of BikeErg data is tedious

Without a connected app, BikeErg users must manually record their cadence, distance, split, and calories after each session. Most do not bother, losing valuable training data.

Cross-training across Concept2 machines is fragmented

Athletes who rotate between RowErg, SkiErg, and BikeErg want a unified view of their conditioning work. Using separate tracking methods for each machine creates data silos.
