A cleat-based power meter that puts accurate cycling power on your shoes, not your bike.

Real Power Data – Without Expensive, Bike-Locked Hardware
CycloWatt brings true power measurement to everyday cyclists by moving the power meter from the bike to the shoe. Instead of complex crank, pedal, or spider-based systems, CycloWatt integrates directly into your cleat – where power is actually applied.
The result is accurate, real-world power data that installs in seconds, moves easily between bikes, and fits naturally into your existing riding setup. Whether you train indoors or outdoors, CycloWatt gives you objective insight into your performance so you can ride smarter, pace better, and improve consistently.
Available as SPD-SL and Look Keo compatible cleats!
Power Meters Weren’t Built for Hobby Cyclists
Most power meters are expensive, complicated, and permanently attached to a single bike- making them impractical for everyday riders.
CycloWatt Puts Power Measurement Where It Belongs
By measuring power directly at the cleat, CycloWatt removes complexity, reduces cost, and lets cyclists use one power meter across multiple bikes.
Does a Cleat-Based Power Meter Really Feel and Ride Like a Normal Cleat?
Yes. CycloWatt is engineered to feel just like a standard cycling cleat, with the same secure and stable pedal connection. Comfort and ride feel are not compromised, while power measurement remains precise and reliable. The small increase in stack height can be off-set with the saddle height.
CycloWatt’s accuracy is not affected by dirt, mud, or temperature changes – making it suitable for real-world riding in all conditions.

Power Measurement in Three Simple Steps
Built for Real-World Riding
Purpose of the Kickstarter Funds
We will use the funds for final development steps, including improving power measurement reliability and reducing stack height even further. And secondly, we will use the funds for the production of the product. By backing us, you become part of our journey and contribute to bringing this innovation to life.
We are confidant to deliver a premium product to our backers. However, unforeseen delays can occur and we will communicate transparently with our backers about changes in our timeline.
Direct Cleat-Based Power Measurement
CycloWatt measures power exactly where force is applied- at the shoe- providing objective performance data that isn’t influenced by wind, terrain, or external conditions.
Train Smarter With Real Power Zones
By riding in the correct power zone, cyclists can avoid early burnout, reduce injury risk, and build strength more efficiently over time.
Fast Installation, Total Flexibility
CycloWatt installs in about 20 seconds and can be moved easily between bikes. One power meter works across all your rides.
Seamless App & Device Integration
Power data is transmitted via Bluetooth or ANT+ to your cycling computer or smartphone and integrates smoothly with popular training platforms.
Modular Design for Long-Term Value
When the cleat wears out, only the cleat needs replacing – not the power meter – keeping long-term costs low and extending product lifespan.

CycloWatt prioritizes simplicity, affordability, and practicality – without sacrificing accuracy.
3. No Installation Headaches
Installs like a standard cleat in about 20 seconds. No tools. No bike shop visits.
When the cleat wears out, simply replace it and keept the power meter unit!
4. Real-World Accuracy
Delivers ±3% accuracy in real riding conditions, unaffected by wind, terrain, dirt, or temperature changes.
Engineering With Purpose
CycloWatt isn’t about adding complexity.
It’s about delivering trustworthy power data in the simplest, most practical form possible – for cyclists who ride for progress, enjoyment, and longevity.
CycloWatt is available as SPD-SL and Look Keo versions!
