Anyone using this? how accurate compared to a real power meter or smart trainer?

With the KK Road Machine, when calibrated, it can be pretty accurate as the only real variable is the rolling resistance of the tire and the clamping force. They use a special fluid inside of the resistance unit that is relatively insensitive to changes in temperature. If I had to ballpark it, I'd guess it would be ~3% and it would track quite closely with a PowerTap hub.

Mine was super close to my P1 pedals, like with in 5W when doing workings in the 250W range. I never questioned it. I did an FTP test with my InRide power, then I did another FTP test when I got my P1 pedals. FTP was within a couple watts. Freakin' magic, it was. I quit using InRide when I moved on to TrainerRoad with the P1 pedals driving my workouts. Now, I use a KICKR 2, so InRide is gathering dust.

IMO, a used KK Road Machine with InRide is the cheapest way for people to start training with power and it's accurate enough that they won't have to pull out their hair once they buy a proper power meter for their bike.

Like the others said, pretty darn close. I have the Road Machine and the power is very close to the Stages PM (left arm) on my road and the P1 (both pedals) on my TT. I've only had strange data when my tire pressure was too low or when the flat little battery gets low. When I got the green trainer tire the numbers almost matched exactly. I like the green tire because I was burning through good tires.

It is okay under 250w. Above not so much.

Mine is really close to my power2max type s with the exception of hard accelerations (where the p2m reads higher) and short, high-power intervals (where the inride is slightly higher). If the interval is longer, they're nearly exactly the same. My wife has a stages, and her power is nearly identical as well.

Mine is very accurate as well, within 5 watts. Funny enough TR virtual power is also within 5 watts of inRide.
