AROFLY, professional manufacturer of bicycle power meter, and TUL Corporation, computer equipment manufacturer, jointly launched the “Flying Seed Nurturing Project” in 2021. The project sponsors Taichung Dajia Junior High School Cycling Team recently achieved good results in the venue competitions at 2022 National Middle School Athletic Games. To help train Taiwan grassroots cycling athletes, AROFLY and TUL will expand the project scope and provide the latest sports science knowledge as well as training programs to the potential cycling groups of Dajia Junior High School and Linyuan Senior High School. With scientific equipment such as bicycle power meters and training platform developed by Taiwan manufacturers to improve cycling skills, the project aims to support Taiwan cyclists to achieve good results in international competitions.
Dajia Junior High School Cycling Team is a constant winner in national competitions. After training with the AROFLY ELITE A1 power meter sponsored by the "Flying Seed Nurturing Project" in 2021, Dajia Junior High School has achieved good results in the 2022 National Middle School Athletic Games venue competitions and won 1 Gold, 4 Silver and 3 Bronze medals. The team also came 6th in the National Cycling Middle School Road Championship.
Wu Pin-sheng, Founder and Chairman of AROFLY, and Charles Chou, Executive Assistant to CEO of TUL, jointly awarded prizes to encourage the winners of the Taichung Dajia Junior High School Cycling Team.
“Dajia Junior High School Cycling Team has achieved outstanding results after joining the ‘Flying Seed Nurturing Project’. AROFLY will further cooperate with TUL this year to sponsor 13 sets of the latest AROFLY smart training platform (AROFLY i-Pro) to Dajia Junior High School,” said Wu Pin-sheng, Founder and Chairman of AROFLY. “Meanwhile, Linyuan Senior High School is also the cradle of nurturing outstanding Taiwan cyclists. We also invited Linyuan Senior High School to join the ‘Flying Seed Nurturing Project’, and will sponsor 20 new power meters (AROFLY i-Mode) and 3 sets of smart training platform (AROFLY i-Pro).”
“Digitalization of sports performance is the result of recent active development of AI technology. Due to the huge time and cost invested in the research and development process, the related bicycle professional training equipment in the market becomes expensive and unaffordable for public schools. Most coaching methods also lack scientific analysis and statistics,” added Wu Pin-sheng. “Take Dajia Junior High School Cycling Team as an example, Li Wei-cheng, team coach and former national cyclist, could only train students’ physical fitness by running due to limited resources when the team established. Only until close to the competition, they borrowed equipment from other schools to complete the contest. Now, by using AROFLY power meter for training, they can more accurately monitor cyclists’ riding intensity, detect the real-time pedaling power, and design a tailor-made training program for each athlete, bringing the research and development achievements of the technology industry to the grassroots level training.

“The purpose of this training project is to familiarize these athletes of the Internet native generation with scientific training equipment, thus achieving multiplier effect,” said Charles Chou, Executive Assistant to CEO of TUL. “In the future, TUL will continue to invest in corporate social responsibility (CSR). By taking care of the development of grassroots athletes, we hope to support the athletes in winning glory for the country and implement corporate social responsibility with the assistance of high-tech equipment.

The core technology of AROFLY bicycle power meter is the "intelligent dynamic pressure technology", which differs from traditional mechanical deformation principle. The technology combines the change in tire pressure caused by pedaling with the patented algorithm to analyze the actual cycling condition by controlling different factors, and improves the accuracy through artificial intelligence learning capabilities. The AROFLY power meter with multi-national invention patents upgrades from the traditional power meter process, which can greatly reduce the training cost of cyclists.
AROFLY power sensor is only the size of a bottle cap. It uses "intelligent dynamic pressure technology" to combine the change in tire pressure caused by pedaling with a patented algorithm to control different factors and analyze the actual cycling condition, and improve the accuracy through artificial intelligence learning capabilities.
Most power meters on the market have relatively high cost as they can only be used in specific models and need to be installed by a technician. AROFLY power meter is easy to install and can be flexibly installed on the rear wheel valve of any bicycle. The APP sets the basic information of riding, which can be done by the cyclists in a very short time. At present, AROFLY power meter has received positive feedback from users in China and the United States, Canada, Germany and other countries. In the future, it will continue to breakthrough and introduce to more countries, complete the global sports business sector, demonstrate Taiwan soft power of MIT, and provide more professional and more value-added auxiliary training products for bicycle fans all over the world.
