Can I use a kickr without power?

[TriBiker]

Trying to keep the training up during the power outage. First time using my kickr without power.

 

I’m in my biggest gear but spinning out!? Any solutions to this?

Unfortunately smart trainers need power. It uses electricity to generate resistance, so without it you are stuck.

Battery and an inverter https://support.wahoofitness.com/hc/en-us/articles/206360904-Can-an-inverter-be-used-to-power-a-KICKR-SNAP-Smart-Trainer-

 

Alternatively plug into car cigarette lighter 12v. From DCRAINMAKER "Due to the ability to provide resistance – the unit will require being plugged in. But the charge is minimal enough that a 12V cigarette lighter will work (so you can do workouts near your car ahead of a race). They area also considering adding a battery pack if there’s demand for it."
