LONDON, July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

A new electric bicycle with heart monitoring and automatic gear technology helps riders maintain a healthy level of outdoor exercise, whatever their ability or local terrain.

Electric bikes have already become an alternative to cars and public transport for tens of thousands of Britons. The latest model from specialist importer 50cycles offers health benefits that will encourage many more to take to the saddle.

It's called the Kalkhoff Impulse Ergo and it's the only electric bike to combine a wireless heart monitor, electrical assistance and automatic gears in one package. Together they help the rider maintain a constant heart rate and enjoy steady, sustained exercise that's known to encourage long-term health and wellbeing.

"This is great development for people who've been advised to exercise to recover from a heart condition," says Tim Snaith of 50cycles, "and for those who know what heart rate they need to burn off fat or to achieve their target level of fitness. This electric bike makes it easy to see more of the world while seeing off the calories."

"Medical professionals and sports therapists will be quick to understand the benefits of this electric bicycle. The Kalkhoff Ergo Impulse removes any anxiety about overdoing it while adding a dose of fun and exhilaration to keeping fit with friends and family."

50cycles.com, the UK's advanced electric bike specialist, is now in its tenth year. Their bikes are designed and manufactured in Germany by market-leading brand Kalkhoff. The Kalkhoff Ergo Impulse with smart heart-monitoring technology is available to test ride and to order through http://www.50cycles.com now.
