Please note that we are not explicitly supporting the Gamepad Emulator any longer.  The version posted to Steam is functional and you are welcome to use it, but we aren't able to provide assistance with it at this time.  Thanks for understanding.

The VirZOOM Gamepad Emulator, or VZGE, is an application that allows you to use the VirZoom Bike Controller as a normal joystick. The application uses the buttons on the bike, the pedal speed, as well as the Oculus or Vive's position tracking as input into games, disguised as normal joystick input. You can download it on Steam, and check the Steam workshop for currently available configurations for several games. (Please note that you need to be signed into Steam in your web browswer for that link to work.)

  • Use to hookup the VirZOOM bike to compatible PC games
  • Maps bike data and VR inputs, including player lean, to virtual joystick controls
  • Currently compatible with Vive and Oculus games launched from Steam (Oculus Home compatibility intended in future update)
  • Requires per-game configuration files, which users can setup and share, and which we'll release for games that work well
