The Best Budget ZWIFT Setup For 2023 - DON'T DO THIS

My best budget ZWIFT setup for 2023 indoor cycling season.
Many other budget ZWIFT setup videos suggest using a speed sensor to quickly get connected on ZWIFT. This method is very inaccurate and there is a much better solution at near the same cost.
The HR2VP app calculates power meter data based on heart rate and can broadcast a power signal to ZWIFT from either your smartphone or smart watch.

There are 3 important things to know in order to get a good working setup:
--- 1) Use the direct connection and not the one through the Companion app
--- 2) Grant all permissions, especially location permission which is mandatory for Bluetooth
--- 3) On Android, disable Battery optimization for HR2VP otherwise some parts of the app managing Bluetooth may be killed by the OS

What is your ideal Zwift setup?

I've found that it's better for me to buy proper clothes and ride outside even in winter (or light rain) than to suffer at home...

Hello from Japan. My wife and I also use this setup from your advice in a previous video. It was surprising that the recorded number of kilometers and power rode on zwift matches the numbers on my stationery bike nearly exactly. hr2vp is very impressive! Thanks for introducing it.

It is possible to get on ZWIFT even cheaper. The Mekbelt CM16 or the Bancon ZWIFT Stationery Bike are both listed on Amazon for less than $300. Both bikes are well made and connect to ZWIFT and some other Apps via their built-in bluetooth sensors. These bikes are economical smart trainers and have built-in powermeters and connect to the ZWIFT App via the profiles of Power, Cadence, Controllable. I happen to own both bikes and would give the edge to the Mekbelt CM16 which is very sturdy and looks for more expensive than its listed price tag. When you purchase these bikes there is no need to purchase anything else to connect to ZWIFT.

A sponsered video where you recommend a product is not informational, it's a commercial.

My brain glitched after you said using a speed sensor "would give us a false assumption of what our actual speed is." I'm not sure what you were trying to say, as rate (or speed) is simply distance divided by time. That's just middle school math. It doesn't matter your gearing or cadence, if you've input the correct wheel size, then you should get accurate speed or rate information no matter if you like to mash on big gears or spin high cadences. But then I googled it I see that the Zwift speed sensor is not a traditional magnet based speed sensor used on many cycling computers.

HR2VP is a great idea! I use it too! Especially if you combine it with a cadence sensor, it will send 0watts when cadence is zero.

The spin bike in the description links to the yosuda, but the bike in the video looks completely different. What model is it? Thanks

Ok with a kinetic trainer i can reach 280-300 watts max, however my heartbeat never has gone over 165. Im 65 years old ; that is my max. Heart beat. Whenever I have tried your app, it shortchanges me on my watts, stating that i cant go over 150, which I know is wrong, this limits me on races etc. Any ideas ?

I had no idea I could document my Zwift rides without a smart trainer . Thanks for sharing the information.

You are really well set up to keep up your careful training indoors, away from the pesky rain and wind.

I'm Impressed you two. Deadly setup to get that X-Factor of the power output

@fredmcgough748

Thanks for the video. Really appreciate the advice. Happy to hear that a regular bike and trainer can be used with zwift. Thanks.

Great to see both of you getting back into cycling routine. This is the first year that I been using a indoor cycling software subscription. In the past many years I was using the Spinerval DVDs with my bike on a turbo trainer. This last fall signup with Rouvy and using same turbo classic trainer used prior with BT/ANT+ speed/cadence sensors and HR monitor.Was getting BT dropouts with sensors so switched to ANT+ and its been rock solid. The real world video makes it appear like you are almost there in person. Yesterday rode up Mt Hood,OR to ski area and today did the Biwaichi Cherry Blossom course in Japan which had amazing scenery. Hardware wise - I am using a Win11 mini PC displaying with 43" 4K smart TV using ARC on HDMI for soundbar and 2nd HDMI for video.
