Why is it called a ‘Second Generation Chi Exerciser’ ?
The original Chi Exercisers were designed for the Japanese and other Far Eastern peoples. They generally had lightweight AC motors and fixed speeds. The Surge of Chi Exerciser was developed for Western physiques, adopting a more robust engineering model than the early products – which were designed for the Asian market. It has a DC motor and a low friction engineering design, which has several benefits including a longer life (tested under continuous use for 3000+ hours under 20kg load), smoother ride, less noise, temperature resistance (works well even in cold temperatures), and the capacity for electronic programming with precise speed adjustment controls. Other refinements over the original models include padded ankle rests, the slightly elliptical travel of the footrest, an adjustable hand-operated speed controller with LCD screen, 3-mode timer with display, and pre- programmed speed variations (Auto-modes) for those wishing to enjoy fully automated sessions.
