https://www.pandapodium.cc/product/magene-p715-pedal-based-power-meter/?ref=2 - In stock today: the most affordable power meter pedals on the market?
I love power meter pedals. Super convenient to travel with and swap between bikes, but if they're not accurate; it's pointless. In this video I give the Magene P715 power meter pedals a once over, do some testing comparing them to indoor trainers and spider based power meters and see how they hold up. I also make comparisons between these and the Favero Assioma DUOs.
Lemme know if you have any questions.

Disclaimer:
Magene sent me these pedals to review for free, and I also sell these pedals on my website; Panda Podium. But I've been working with Magene on the channel since around 2017-2018 and the reason I sell their products is because I'm a big fan and use them myself.

Created: July 22, 2025The reviewer provides a comprehensive analysis of the Magene P715 power meter pedals, having tested them for 3-4 months. They state these are currently the most affordable power meter on the market at $499, which is about 40% cheaper than competitors like Favero Assioma. The reviewer conducted comparison testing with other power meters and found the P715s to be consistently within 1-2% accuracy, which they consider more than sufficient. Key features highlighted include 120-hour battery life, availability in both Shimano SPD-SL and Look Keo standards out of the box, claimed ±1% accuracy, 157g weight per pedal, and inclusion of smart metrics like power phase and riding position detection. The reviewer notes the pedals lack pedal center offset (PCO) capability and don't include cleats in the box, but concludes these are minor issues that don't significantly impact real-world performance.
