Has anyone uses a BikeErg for Zwift? How do you change gears? I’m asking for a friend (I have a tacx neo), but am trying to spread the Zwift love to others.

You don’t change gears. It uses an adjustable damper to very resistance of the flywheel. It works similar to a fluid trainer in that the faster you go the harder it is to pedal and the more power you produce.
The damper affects how much power it takes to move the flywheel at a given speed or cadence. A lower damper setting will allow for a higher cadence to produce the same power as a lower cadence with a more open damper setting.
The monitor on the unit is calibrated to adjust for different damper settings.
