Can you average 418w for 30 minutes? Fairly clear fault if you cannot.

Yes. 418 W for 30 minutes is very, very high. It’s not impossible for a very dedicated and extremely well-trained cyclist to do that, but a cyclist that dedicated probably wouldn’t come to reddit to question the accuracy of their indoor bike. If you’re *that* good, you know.

What exercise bike it is? Those that estimate power based off flywheel speed are going to be quite wrong.

Yes.
Averaging 418W for 30 minutes is not something a regular person can do. If you were a strong enough cyclist to put out those numbers, you would know it.

I love riding on my Peloton, and I liked my trainer/Zwift combo before that, but I’ve always looked at the wattage and speed on both with skepticism. Just the feel of riding a real bike on the road always confirms my gut instinct about their inaccuracy.

Anyone asking this question absolutely cannot put out 418 watts for 30 minutes. That is UCI pro tour level power output.

I’m barely mediocre when it comes to running, but threadmills in me gym suggest that run 1 km within 4 minutes. I can barely manage 5:30 min/km outside.

Largely unrelated to the purpose of this post, but Port De Soller is an incredible place, worth an actual visit sometime ✌️
