Which bikes/setups show human generated power?

[Captain Slow]

I think any bike with a torque sensor can show the power numbers the rider is putting in. I wonder which bikes via software actually allow you to access this information. I know the Creo does and I believe Alaskan posted some information about the Nyon he retrofitted to his Bosch motor and that shows power so in that case any Bosch powered bike with a Nyon shows power.

I'm looking to buy a road ebike in 2020 and there are a few I'm considering. I've never had a power meter before and I figure with the amount of money I'm going to be spending I might as well get power meter functionality as well. Do the bikes with the ebike motion X35 hub motor do this? What about the Giant Road-E? Synapse Neo?

Would appreciate hearing from owners what their experience is.

Just by chance I created a similar thread today! Haha!
Specialized Turbo e-bikes can do that. Specifically these with the TCD display. Older BLOKS display can only report kilocalories burnt and there is a way to back calculate the power, assuming 25% human efficiency.

Kilocalories burnt as calculated by the e-bike computer

Please do not take this thread very seriously. I'm not very much concerned with calories burnt during my rides, I'm just curious. Here is what Vado 5.0 BLOKS display showed after one of my rides. Actual net ride time was 1 h 30 min. This is not a rocket science. Mid-drive motors are equipped...

The Bosch Kiox, EBR did a review on it.

Captain Slow did you see the pair of 2020 Specialized Creos at Caps Port Moody? Sweet looking bikes but $8200 cdn

No, I didn't. It was Gordon Hobbis himself who told me aluminum Creos would be coming. I had been meaning to go by his store. I'll have to make my way there over the next few weeks.

I love that feature on my Bosch Nyon app. I ride almost exclusively in Eco mode (PAS 1) and the Nyon consistently shows me putting in ~60% of the power output and the motor ~40%.

 

[Captain Slow]

You say the Nyon app? Does that work with all Bosch systems or only if you have a Nyon head unit?

a: Cobi, now owned by bosch shows human power input,

b; Nyon and intuvia share the same mounting unit

 

[AlanDB]

Bosch's eBike Connect works with Nyon and Kiox, not with Intuvia or Purion. I don't know if the Kiox shows the same functions as the Nyon. If you have a ebike with a Bosch motor and Intuvia display, upgrading to the Nyon is a piece of cake, thanks to the information provided in another thread by Alaskan.

I think the wattwagon with the ultra motor does and my yamaha display does too

I suppose I could install a power meter on any bike, but I'd prefer to get one with the bike.
