WHAT IS POWER?

Power is measured in watts. A watt is a basic unit of power equal to 1 joule per second. It is a common unit used to express effort exerted. A power meter measures power by tracking the amount of torque produced by your pedaling and multiplying that number by cadence, or how fast you’re pedaling. So for a moving bicycle, Power = Torque x Cadence.
