Q: How long does it take to charge?
A: Each insert needs to charge 1 hour before each use. For More Information please see our Using RPM² page
Q: How long will the charge last before I have to charge again?
A: At a full charge, each insole should last for up to 6 hrs of use depending on the type of exercises performed. Please remember that devices are used for exercises designed to test bi-lateral equivalence as opposed to full training workouts. For More Information please see our Using RPM² page
Q: What is the warranty?
A: 1 year limited warranty – we will replace your insoles during the first 12 months if it has been used as directed by RPM² and not abused or has abnormal wear and tear. For More Information please see our Warranty page
Q: Are the insoles waterproof?
A: They are water resistant, not waterproof.
Q: How accurate is RPM²?
Q: Can personal training data from my device be uploaded to Training Peaks?
A: We are currently developing the capability and it will be available soon. This will be automatically delivered to your app on your smart device as a simple update.
Q: Can data be sent to another device through ANT or ANT+?
A: This is currently under consideration.
Q: Do you need to have your smart device with you when using RPM²?
A: Yes, the data is transmitted via Bluetooth technology so your smart device must be with you at all times.
Q: How long will the insoles last?
A: All components specifications are designed to last for between 1.5 million and 2.0 million strikes during the running portion of training exercises. This, for many athletes, is approximately 2 years following the recommended training exercises. The durability of your device will be dependent upon how you choose to use the device as a part of your training.
Q: How does this compare to other power meter devices on the market?
A: Power meters range from $2,000 to $4,000 and require maintenance every few years. The RPM²
system offers longevity equivalent to, or better than traditional power meters, even if replacement
RPM² systems are needed within a two year period.
Value Proposition:
The value of RPM² is that you have three devices in one (gait analysis, range of motion/ pressure analysis,
cycling analysis to include a power meter. The cost of RPM² ranges from $699 to $749, compared to approximately
$3,000 for similar tests/devices.
