FAQ
Does the Wahoo KICKR CORE work with rampida?
Yes, if it speaks the standard FTMS protocol over Bluetooth – current Wahoo models do, according to the manufacturer. With older firmware, update it in the manufacturer’s app first.
Do I need an app from Wahoo?
Not for riding. rampida connects to the trainer directly in the browser (Chrome or Edge). You only need the manufacturer’s app for firmware updates or calibration.
Does it work on iPad or iPhone?
No. Safari and every browser on iOS lack Web Bluetooth. Use a Windows PC, Mac, Chromebook or Android device.
The trainer doesn’t show up – what now?
Bluetooth can only be connected to one app at a time: disconnect Zwift, the manufacturer’s app or your watch first. Then search again under “Devices” in rampida.
