I don’t know if my exercise bike calorie counter is working properly?

Question by te_quiero_andres: I don’t know if my exercise bike calorie counter is working properly?
I just brought an exercise bike, and it has how many kilometres I have ridden, how many calories, and the speed I am currently going etc.

Though I find that the calorie counter is strange, it has 0.00 digits. So if I’m riding slowly for each second, the calories go up on the counter per second as well. I first mistakened it for the time spent riding. By the end of doing around 2.5 kilometres ride, it said around 10.34 calories have been burnt. That’s after around 15 minutes. I only burnt 10 calories?? How am I supposed to read it or is it correct?

I think your calorie counter is not correct, I usually ride on my bike for about 28 minutes at a resistance level of 5 on my pro form gr 80 bike and burn around 150 calories. My speed is averaging about 13.5 miles /hr and I end up riding a little over
6 miles on my stationary bike. Good luck !!
