Having researched treadmills I brought the Xterra trx4500 and tried to connect to Zwift. I can connect the treadmill but when I try and run my avatar doesn’t move but the treadmill is going. Am I missing something? New to Zwift! It’s a smart treadmill so I don’t think I need a pod but could be wrong.
Anyone who could help, please do!!
Just got my new treadmill delivered today - set it up - connected bluetooth to Zwift and Avatar doesn’t move. Did you ever get a solution? I can’t figure out how to get it to work.
This treadmill is not a smart treadmill in the true meaning of Zwift.
It has Bluetooth but this is a propriety system to use with the Xterra fitness app.
Just like Nordictrack have for their iFit software.
Whilst it may link to Zwift it’s clearly unable to send data to the program.
You will need some form of speed sensor to use it with Zwift.
I am confused the website says this: “The apps below will sync directly to your treadmill via FTMS technology. This means you simply turn on your machine, turn your phone’s Bluetooth on, download the app, pair your device through the app and get running!”
The treadmill is advertised as compatible with Zwift.
My mistake, I must have looked at old material.
That ones made in the last 2 years are FTMS and shown as being compatible.
When pairing are there different detection options or is it just the one in the list?
I also got Xterra 3500. But same issue. Shows connected on Zwift but then speed doesnt change . BTW it work perfectly with Kinomap.
If anybody is able to solve ?
Any update on this? I am going to be returning my Xterra 3000 for a Everlast EV720 3.5 CHP which is pretty much the same unit as Xterra 3500 but with FTMS bluetooth,… I don’t want to get it home only to find out its not going to work.
You can probably make this treadmill compatible using the QZ Domyos app. See my other posts.
did the everlast ev720 work with zwift?
The ev720 comes out the same factory as the Xterra.
The advertising is vague around which apps it’ll work with. The manual is no use either.
That said if it supports FTMS then technically it should work with Zwift but there are absolutely no guarantees around this.
I can’t find anybody saying they’ve got it working.
I chose to keep my Xrerra 3000 and have on order the NPE Runn to add to it,…
