BikeMan lets you hook a Bluetooth smart bike that supports FTMS into Farming Simulator 25. Your pedalling moves the vehicle, and the slope in front of you comes back to the bike as resistance. That makes driving feel connected to what your vehicle is doing.
Features
- Pedal faster or slower and the vehicle follows your cadence and speed. Stop pedalling and it coasts.
- The game’s grade controls the resistance, so downhills are easy while climbs are hard.
- Use the handbrake to hold your vehicle on a slope.
- A readable HUD above the speedometer shows watts, cadence, speed (mph and km/h), energy and trip distance.
- You can use it 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
- Drop
FS25_BikeMan.zipinto 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.
