Kalkhoff User Manual page 185

Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing the Impulse Ergo Pedelec from
our company. This bike is equipped with an electric drive
that assists you when you are cycling. This will make your
trip much more enjoyable if you are riding up hills, carry-
ing loads or riding into the wind. This bike has all of the
functions of the Impulse Pedelec, but has one particularly
innovative feature: The Ergo System.
With this bike, your heart rate controls the drive when
you use the ERGO mode. If your heart rate falls below
the preset value, the assistance provided by the drive is
automatically reduced. If your heart rate rises above the
set value, the assistance provided by the drive increases.
This enables an optimal heart rate range to be maintained
whilst riding, thus avoiding dangerous peaks in the heart
rate and training your endurance.
This system is complemented by NuVinci Harmony gears.
If your speed reduces or increases, the gears automati-
cally adjust the gear ratio in automatic mode. This means
that you always pedal with the same pedalling cadence
irrespective of the speed.
The pedalling cadence describes how many times the
pedal crank of your Pedelec revolves in one minute.
Experts simply call it cadence.
The purpose of this User Manual is to help you get the
most out of your Impulse Ergo Pedelec and use it cor-
rectly. Please read the User Manual carefully before riding
your bike for the first time!
