What Are Torque Arms And Why You Need Them

Torque arms are an essential component for electric bikes, especially when using powerful motors. They help reinforce the dropouts of your bike frame, which is where the motor's axle fits. Without a torque arm, the immense force generated by the motor can damage or even deform the dropouts, leading to unsafe riding conditions or costly repairs.

By spreading the motor's torque over a larger area, torque arms protect your bike's frame and ensure a secure and reliable connection between the motor and wheel. They are particularly important for high-power setups (1000W and above), as these systems exert significant force during acceleration, climbing, or sudden stops.

To keep your e-bike safe and running smoothly, always consider installing a torque arm, especially if you're upgrading to a more powerful motor.
