About ergomoUSA:

ergomoUSA is a solely owned subsidiary of JDS Sportcoaching, LLC.  We are athletes and coaches as well as technicians and entrepreneurs.  We have years of experience working with ergomo power meters and supporting the customers who use them.

We started ergomoUSA by offering repairs and battery replacements for ergomo CPU's. We then added wiring replacement and diagnostics of the Ergomo bottom bracket sensor. We have since replaced batteries in over 225 Ergomo CPU's and ALL the old batteries have been sent to a recycling center in the process. In the spring of 2009, we discovered that the original inventor of Ergomo, Siegfried Gerlitzki, had re-obtained the patent for the Ergomo BB sensor and was working on improving it. We've partnered with Siegfried since, and we're pleased to be able to offer new Ergomo bb sensors, CPU's and complete systems in the United States and elsewhere around the globe.

ergomo manufacturing is under new ownership in Germany and is actively being manufactured and supported as an improved 2011 model.  A 2012 system with a BB 30 configuration and a new CPU are being designed and manufactured. Look for this in early spring of 2012.We appreciate all Ergomo owners loyalty and feedback as we re-launch new products and our new customer service center.

Finally, ergomoUSA is looking for a few good shops. Improper installation of the bb sensor often led to failure that was blamed on the unit's construction. We will be slowly adding shops to the Ergomo Dealer Network and working with their trained mechanics to install Ergomo systems reliably, every time. So, if you've got a shop that performs outstanding service, we want to know about it.

Thank you for your continued support and loyalty to ergomo.

What makes an ergomo the Powermeter to own:

 

The ergomo bottom bracket sensor

Ergomo measures power by two optical sensor "combs" which generate square wave streams. These are compared for shifting, measured in time, and knowing the characteristics of the axle, the amount of torque can be calculated, and thus power.

An optical sensor requires slightly more sophisticated processing electronics than a strain gauge, and also care in building the sensor. It requires an air gap with a clear optical path, and is therefore is more sensitive to intrusion of dirt, water, grease, etc., so utmost care is given to cleanliness in the production of the sensor. The optical torque sensor is a non-contact sensor, so unlike a strain gauge, the active components do not need to be mounted on moving parts (the strain gauges on other power meters rotate with the crank or hub, whereas the Ergomo optical sensors can be mounted fixed and stationary in the BB shell).
