BikeOtterWhich bike computers BikeOtter works with
Every bike computer talks to a phone in its own way, and none of the makers publish how — so the only honest answer about a model we have never held is that we have never held it. This table says which is which: what has run on real hardware, and what we expect to work but cannot promise.

- Tested on this hardware
- Expected to work — not yet tested on this model
- Not known yet
- Not available on this model
- Position and speed stream live, and the app knows when a ride starts or stops -- all confirmed on hardware. Heart rate, power and cadence never reach the app on this device.
- The unit does not tell the app its own battery level.
- No phone can send segments to an ELEMNT — there is no way to do it. Segments reach the unit from Wahoo's own account sync instead.
- Edge 540: Verified on an Edge 540 — the only Garmin we have held.
- ELEMNT ACE: Expected to work the same as the tested BOLT v3; this exact model has not been run.
- ELEMNT BOLT: Expected to work the same as the tested BOLT v3; this exact model has not been run.
- ELEMNT BOLT: The unit every Wahoo result here was verified on.
- ELEMNT ROAM: Expected to work the same as the tested BOLT v3; this exact model has not been run.
Your model missing, or a box wrong?
Tell us and we will correct the row. Inside the app, Settings → Help & support is one page carrying both halves of that: a conversation with us at the top and the diagnostic log under it. Ride once with your unit connected, then send the log — it says far more about what your head unit answered than a description can. By e-mail we are at support@bikeotter.app. And if the model you want is one BikeOtter does not speak to at all yet, the wishlist is where to ask for it — and to see who else already has.
