Where should I get a wireless folding bike device that shows calories burned as well as speed and distance?


Where should I get a wireless folding bike device that shows calories burned as well as speed and distance?

I don't know of any with a calorie counter. The reason is it's really just a BS estimate. Calories burned is a calculation that requires more than speed and distance. Your fitness, body weight and several other factors are needed. Whether you burn 500 or 600 calories is inconsequential really. A good healthy low cal diet with ample vigorous exercise will produce results in fitness and weight control.

For a totally out for shape person riding slowly you may burn only 200 cals per hour of riding. A highly conditioned athlete riding extremely hard may burn 1200 in the same hour.

Any bike computer should fit on a folding bike and will show speed, distance, etc. You can also get a heart rate monitor that includes bike functions. That is probably your best bet for estimating caloric expenditure. The only way to truly measure calories is through a power meter which is probably way more than you want to spend. I don't know of any made for folding bikes but it depends on what kind.
