BikeMan connects a Bluetooth smart bike that supports FTMS to Farming Simulator 25. Your pedalling drives the vehicle, while the slope you are driving on is sent back to the bike as resistance.
Features
- 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.
- Bike vehicle: FS25_Lizard_MountainBike by SleutjesModding, not bundled.
Requirements
- 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, as the companion program uses it.
Installation
- Put
FS25_BikeMan.zipin your FS25 mods folder. Keep it zipped. - Unzip
BikeMan_Companion.zipanywhere, then follow the setup guide for Windows or Linux.

Notes
- Unofficial. Not affiliated with GIANTS Software, Renpho or any other company.
- Early release (v0.3), so expect rough edges.
- Stay seated, keep the resistance at a level you’re comfortable with, and stop if anything feels wrong.
