BikeMan v1.0.0.0

DESCRIPTION

Ride a real exercise bike inside Farming Simulator 25.
Free to download. Tips are optional
BikeMan connects a Bluetooth smart bike (FTMS) to FS25. Your pedalling drives the vehicle, and the slope you’re driving on is sent back to the bike as resistance. Climb a hill in the game and your legs feel it.
What it does
Your cadence and speed move the vehicle, and it coasts when you stop pedalling.
Resistance follows the game’s grade: downhills are easy, climbs are hard.
A handbrake holds you on slopes.
A readable HUD sits above the speedometer with watts, cadence, speed (mph and km/h), energy and trip distance.
Works with the Lizard Mountain Bike mod and with tractors. I’ve plowed a field at 7 mph on pedal power.
What you need
A Bluetooth smart bike that supports FTMS. I built and tested it on a Renpho RQ002. Other bikes might work, but I haven’t tried them.
Farming Simulator 25 on Windows, or Linux through Steam/Proton.
Python (the companion program uses it).
How to install
Put FS25_BikeMan.zip in your FS25 mods folder. Keep it zipped.
Unzip BikeMan_Companion.zip anywhere, then follow the setup guide for Windows or Linux.
The full guide, troubleshooting and source code are on GitHub: https://github.com/william17050/FS25_BikeMan
Notes
Unofficial. Not affiliated with GIANTS Software, Renpho or any other company.
Early release (v0.3), so expect rough edges.
Bike vehicle: FS25_Lizard_MountainBike by SleutjesModding, not bundled.
Stay seated, keep the resistance at a level you’re comfortable with, and stop if anything feels wrong.
Free and open source (MIT licence).
