Monitoring 

Your Heart 

Rate

The ES9.0 bike has two ways of monitoring your heart rate: 

1. By using a chest strap that transmits your heart rate to the 

bike via radio... 

2. By using the metal contact heart rate pads on the handlebars. 

Although your bike functions fine without using the heart 

rate monitoring feature, this kind of monitoring gives you 

valuable feedback on your effort level. Chest strap monitoring 

also allows you to use Heart Rate Control, which is the most 

advanced exercise control system available.

Contact Heart Rate
