Phone as shifter

Your existing phone becomes the ride controller instead of dead weight on the bars.

Shifts and ride state are designed to feel immediate, not delayed.

Why It Matters

A useful controller, not a gimmick.

The companion earns its place by solving an actual riding problem: control needs to be close to your hands when the route gets hard.

No extra hardware needed

The phone already on your bars becomes the controller. No proprietary shifter required.

Easier climbing feel management

Shift the trainer feel when a climb bites without pretending that speed should change magically.

Bar-mounted convenience

Tap large on-screen controls instead of reaching for a keyboard or staring at the desktop.

Instant feedback

The companion exists to feel immediate, not like a remote with lag.

Pairing Flow

Connected in seconds.

The setup is intentionally short. The desktop generates the entry point, the phone opens into the correct browser experience, and the control UI only becomes active once it is tied to the live ride.

  • Desktop owns ride state and QR generation.
  • Phone opens directly into the correct companion flow.
  • Controls become active only when the ride is actually there.

Gear System

Twenty-four virtual gears, one fair speed model.

Virtual gears exist to change the feel at the trainer, not to break route fairness. MINI WATT keeps speed based on power and gradient, while the companion gives riders a cleaner way to modulate resistance feel during the effort.

  • 24 gears give riders range without turning the system into a game.
  • Gear changes affect trainer feel, not how fast the route says you are going.
  • The UI is intentionally large, simple, and easy to hit while riding.

The phone is not just sending button presses. It also reflects route name, current phase, connection health, and current gear so riders can trust what the companion is doing mid-ride.
Live Status

Your ride stays in your hand.

The companion is more useful when it reflects the ride, not just the buttons. Route name, phase, connection state, and current gear all stay visible so riders know exactly what system they are interacting with.

  • Route and phase reduce ambiguity once the phone is mounted on the bars.
  • Connection health helps riders trust that gear taps are actually reaching the ride.
  • Current gear stays obvious before and after every shift.

Try the companion setup.

Fast pairing, clean controls, and just enough live ride state to make the phone genuinely useful.
