The racing worldwide feature is what draws me to this product, especially when it's grey and windy outside. Thinking of ordering but not sure which version is right for me
@kev9203 hey thanks for being interested in Velo. Basically if you love healthy competition, the Competitor and the Champion are made for you. Select the Champion if you don't want to deal with the hassle of downloading the app. If you're fine with your own tablet (or phone), Competitor is good to go. Check the table below to see the differences among three models.
@truonglong88 Hey, no, you don't have to. But we recommend using earphone (maybe bluetooth one) for better communicating with other racers. Happy that you're interested in Velo!
Does the lowest model offer any type of tracking? For instance, mileage, speed, etc.?
@aaron_luther Hey, the lowest model doesn't come with any type of tracking because it doesn't include cadence and sensor. If you value exercise stat, I would advise you to go with Competitor model. It supports all of our function, except that you will use your own phone or tablet.

We launched on indiegogo yesterday, and are already 70% of the way to the finish line! We wanted the producthunt community to have access to early-bird prices - starting at just $199. Check it out: https://igg.me/at/velo-stationar...
All queries, comments, congratulations and criticism welcome - we'd love to hear it all!

@chitran241 Looks cool, but also reminds me a lot of Peloton. What makes Velo different?
The idea's not 100% new but Especially with the price they offer, I think Velo will be a hit.
@d_qu_c_d_t thanks! agree that the concept is not absolutely novel. But either we think that there is anyone dealing with leveraging competition nature of humans to push exercise motivation in the market. From the standpoint of start-up people who are hungry for success and better ourself everyday, we hope that this can help us to be both productive and healthy.
It will be a great way to stay fit in the winter when its too cold/icy to go for big bike rides.
Pros:Combines my two loves - gaming and cycling!
Cons:Nothing glaring i can see yet!
I’m sure I saw Velo on producthunt about a month ago? I liked the idea, now it seems you’ve come back with a totally new design. Why’s that?
Hi @anniephan Thanks for your interest. You're right, we launched Velo on Producthunt around a month ago. After that launch, we received really constructive feedback and good comments from the community. We took it all on board, and have come back with a new and improved design. We made the design more streamlined and sleek, but manufactured from even stronger and more durable materials. We hope you like it! To get the full low down on our manufacturing materials, please visit us our Indiegogo campaign at https://igg.me/at/velo-stationar....
@alexgrundy Hi Alex, thanks so much for your interest in Velo Bike. Unfortunately we haven't figured out way to reduce international shipping cost as the product is quite heavy. We are planning to launch our presence in Australia in the mid of this year though. Sure that we can deliver Velo by then with more reasonable shipping!
Does this bike require subscription fee for an app? Is it work for both Android and IOs? Can I see your price chart?
@anh_nguyen95 Yup, Velo app is available both on Google Play and Appstore. Subscription is $9 per month. If you are among Indiegogo's early backers, fee will be waived for 3 months ;)
At first I just think its advantage is very good price but when I read some comments I realized it is more than that. Actually it would be the greatest idea people who still want circle with friends in the Winter. Workout with friends would be more enjoyable and it’s more than the gym equipment or a video game. Such a great product. Like
