Before I 'retired' from racing, I was traveling quite extensively and had a Tacx Bushido trainer which had about a ~3-4 second ramp to stabilize between resistance changes when training. Another benefit was that when we flew to races, I could pack the Bushido in its carrying case and stow it in the overhead on full size 737 and larger aircraft - that is not happening on a regional jet. That said, we now have Tacx Neo's and it puts the Bushido to shame as it is a get on an ride, with resistance stabilizing within 1-2 seconds, and no fall off in resistance due to thermal drift of the rear tire/roller interface, but it is also among the most expensive of the Smart trainers and hardly what I would call 'portable' for toting to the course for warming up prior to the race.

ms6073- I don't think OP inquired about taking trainer to race site...
+1 with roadman's advice- no ERG for these or any other similar short intervals
W/out using ERG, a good number of smart trainers nowadays should do the trick. Check power capacity/demand. And if I'm missing something, please (politely) educate me- I'm always interested in learning.
