*The Rebel Power Meter mathematically calculates power based on your body and bike weight combined with your speed and the barometric pressure then reads to the single watt. In other words, as it already knows your speed and the atmospheric pressure it can promptly figure out how many watts are needed to move your combined bike and body weight at the current speed. The only thing it can't take into account is a headwind blowing at you. But with a little experience that is reasonably easy to estimate. It won't be as stable and consistent as a mechanical power reader, but it will give you general wattage readings that function as useful training tool for all but the most dedicated riders.
