Not used due to connection problems

Serious connection problems. Maybe connects to Bluetooth over time. It takes about 20 or 30 attempts to connect to Zwift. It comes back on the way back.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Useless features

Didn't work in electronics and gadgets

Maybe I got a defective device. After trying to connect it to 4 different Bluetooth devices and changing the battery, it still doesn't show up as discoverable or say it's on. I had to return, I will buy another one

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • other other

this works with zwift and no problem

installed this on my spinbike, had to make a brace to stay close to the spinbike wheel but have a welder and steel to make another brace to manufacture, which would be difficult to assemble, I have a fitness spin bike. No bracket, let me know. I can send my photo

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • Only available in black

Don't waste your money

This article is unusable. It's not syncing with my cyclemeter app. I synced it once and it only showed speed, no cadence. After this sync, it was never synced again. Super annoying and frustrating. I use it indoors to track my mileage on my exercise bike. waste of time and money. i give it back

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Worked great: bike computer

I used this on my exercise bike to use with other apps. I glued it to the bike with a hot glue gun and it works great. (Due to the large bike configuration, I had to use a separate cadence sensor, but it was worth it!). If you do this, just make sure the battery on the other side is replaceable.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Not compatible with Garmin 130 Plus

Bluetooth over BLE connection works great with Samsung Galaxy S10. Does not work with Garmin Edge 130 Plus. The Garmin Edge 130 Plus will find and connect to this dual BLE speed and cadence sensor, but will not receive any speed or cadence data from the sensor. It's not the fault of the sensor per se, but if you were hoping to use it with a BLE-enabled Garmin Edge, you're probably out of luck.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Great

Cons
  • Can't remember but something happened

Syncs well with my M2 computer

I bought this model to get more accurate mileage than just my Meilan M2 computer's GPS capabilities. There were no instructions on how to pair the sensor with a computer. as clear as I'd like, but after a few tries it connected and says it's paired. The "GPS signal" icon on the M2's display disappeared after I installed this sensor, which bothered me, but the computer collects information from both sources (sensor and GPS) for the record.

Pros
  • Sports & Outdoors Accessories
Cons
  • Discontinued

Easy to install, works well

The main advantage of the Meilan C3 is that it offers both cadence and speed in one device, unlike some other products that only offer one or the other, so You need to buy 2 units if you want both. Installation was easy and it didn't take long to Bluetooth pair with Zwift on my iPad. I haven't tested the accuracy, but I can't imagine it's that bad. The speed sensor and magnet on the wheel spoke were much closer than expected. In my setup it was about 2mm so I don't think there should be any…

Pros
  • Sports and Leisure
Cons
  • Not sure
