- High-grade Shimano disc brakes for optimal braking performance
- Low maintenance thanks to the use of Nexus 8 and a belt drive
- Motor and battery integration to the point that you almost forget it’s an e-bike
How Does An Electric Bike Work?
An electric system consists of a number of main components:
- Battery: Integrated into the luggage carrier or located behind the seat tube (depending on the model)
- Motor: Built into the frame at the bottom bracket or in the front wheel
- Display: Fitted on the handlebar
- Sensors: Every electric system has a speed sensor, which as its name suggests, measures how fast the bike is being ridden. In addition, riding behaviour is determined by a rotation sensor or a pedal force sensor depending on the model. The Impulse system in addition has a fourth sensor, namely the shift sensor. This sensor cuts out assistance for a quarter of a second while you are shifting which enables you to keep on pedalling while shifting.
Together the sensors determine the amount assistance provided by the motor based on your assistance level setting and the pedal force you are applying. You set the assistance level yourself using the handlebar grip control.
