Ride With PurposeIntroducing Pulse Mode™
Your ebike just got a whole lot smarter — and your workouts are about to prove it.
Most people ride an ebike for simple reasons. Commuting feels less stressful. You can ride farther and easier. But there’s one question many riders still ask themselves:
“Am I actually getting a workout?”
That’s exactly why Velotric created Pulse Mode™ — a new smart training feature designed to help riders train more effectively without making riding feel complicated or overly technical.
Instead of guessing how hard you should ride, Pulse Mode™ uses your real-time heart rate to automatically adjust motor assist while you ride. The result is a more consistent, personalized workout that still feels smooth, natural, and fun.
Your Personal Trainer
What Is Pulse Mode™?
Pulse Mode™ is Velotric's intelligent heart rate training system. It connects to your heart rate monitor in real time, reads your BPM as you ride, and automatically adjusts the motor assist to keep you inside a specific training zone — no manual tweaking, no guesswork, no staring at your wrist every thirty seconds.
Instead of controlling your speed, Velotric's ebike controls your effort. You decide how hard you want to work today. The motor figures out the rest.
If your heart rate drops below your target zone, the bike reduces motor assist slightly so you naturally pedal harder. If your heart rate gets too high, the bike increases assist to help you recover and stay in the ideal range. You just ride.
Know Your Zone, Own Your Workout
The Five Heart Rate Zones
Pulse Mode™ divides training into five zones based on your maximum heart rate. Each zone targets a different fitness goal. The numbers below use the default profile — add your age, height, and weight in the Velotric app to unlock personalized zone ranges.
Default zone ranges are calculated using a standard maximum heart rate formula. Update your personal profile in the Velotric app for zones customized to your actual age and fitness data.
Compatible Devices
What You'll Need to Get Started
Pulse Mode™ works with three heart rate sources. The Velotric app handles all the pairing — follow the in-app steps and you'll be riding in minutes.
For Apple Watch users, simply install the Velotric Watch App and connect it through the Velotric App on your iPhone. Once connected, choose your target training zone and start riding.
Three Steps, Zero Guesswork
How It Works
Connect Your Heart Rate Device
Pair a compatible heart rate source via the Velotric app — Apple Watch, Garmin with heart rate broadcast enabled, or the Velotric heart rate strap included with the bike.
Pick Your Target Zone
Open Pulse Mode™ in the Velotric app and select your zone for today. Whether it's a relaxed Zone 2 fat-burn ride or a Zone 4 threshold session, just tap and go.
Ride — The Motor Adjusts As You Ride
As you pedal, the system watches your BPM every second. If your heart rate drifts out of the target zone, the motor adjusts instantly.
Real-Time Assist Logic
The system monitors your heart rate continuously and adjusts the motor assist in response:
Heart Rate Too Low (Green)
Motor assist decreases. You'll need to pedal harder — which is the point.
Heart Rate On Target (Blue)
Assist holds steady. You're in the sweet spot. Keep the rhythm going.
Heart Rate Too High (Orange)
Motor assist increases. The bike carries more load so you can recover.
Two Bikes. Which One Is You?
Ride Smarter With Pulse Mode™
Pulse Mode™ is built into two bikes in the Velotric lineup, and while the feature works the same way on both, the bikes themselves are designed for quite different riders.
Lightweight Fitness for Everyday Riding
The Velotric Tempo is designed for riders who want an ebike that feels light, natural, and easy to live with. With Tempo, fitness riding feels approachable and unintimidating. You can ride to work, cruise through the city, or enjoy a quick evening ride while still getting meaningful cardio exercise.
- Daily commuters
- Riders getting back into cycling
- Fitness-focused city riders
- Stay active without overly intense workouts
Smarter Training for Bigger Adventures
The Velotric Summit 2 brings a completely different riding personality to Pulse Mode™. On climbs or rougher terrain, the system automatically adjusts assistance based on your effort level, helping you stay within your target zone instead of overexerting yourself too early in the ride.
- Long-distance riding
- Gravel and mixed-terrain routes
- Weekend adventure rides
- Structured endurance training
Rider Tips
Get the Most Out of Pulse Mode™
Start in Zones 1–3
New to structured training? Build up gradually over a few weeks before pushing into Zone 4 or 5.
Fill in Your Profile
Add your age, height, and weight in the Velotric app to unlock personalized heart rate zones instead of the default baseline.
Pedal Assist Only
Pulse Mode™ runs exclusively in Pedal Assist mode — throttle is disabled while active. Maximum speed is capped at 28 mph.
Pair with SensorSwap™
Use Torque mode on hilly or varied terrain for the most natural feel. Switch to Cadence on flat roads for smooth cruising.
Auto-Off on Restart
Pulse Mode™ resets when you power down the bike. You'll choose a zone fresh each ride.
Trust the System
It takes a few minutes to calibrate. Let the motor do its job and settle into your target effort level.
