Distance is measured by using GPS and Cellular to track your location and calories by your accelorometers (motion) readings and heart rate which is continuously measured throughout your ride. This can also give speed and height data.
The calories burnt are based on your heart rate so if you have motor assist then the calorie count will be lower.
The distance is measured by GPS.
But what if i am using a cycle with motor assist ? Then distance travelled would be different from calories burnt ??
