Generator
A unique feature to the Spinner
Blade ION is an on-board generator which powers the computer, eliminating the need to replace
batteries as part of the bi-annual maintenance routine.
When the bike is not in use the computer is powered off. As the rider begins to pedal, blue LED lights illuminate providing positive
feedback that the generator is powering the computer.
The computer does contain an internal lithium ion battery to provide summary information once the ride is over and the flywheel is
no longer in motion or when the computer is in maintenance mode. This rechargeable battery is designed for a 3+ year life on the
product. If a battery replacement is required, they are off the shelf and available through on-line battery stores or through
startrac.com. In a club facility, the bikes frequent use will regularly recharge the internal battery. Regular use of the Spinner Blade
ION is ideal to maintain a charge to the internal battery and maximize its life.
