Electric Bikes With Torque Sensors

About

Learn More About Electric Bikes With Torque Sensors Enjoy a more fluid & natural ride with a torque sensor e-Bike. Unlike a cadence sensor that activates the motor when the pedal moves, a torque sensor activates depending on how hard the rider is pedalling. This means that power is delivered when you need it, and switches off when you don't. Our electric torque sensor e-bikes are available to order in both step-over & step through frames, and are shipped for free across Australia. What is a torque sensor? A torque sensor works by measuring the amount of force the rider is applying to the pedals. This information is then used to determine the level of assistance offered to the rider through the electric motor. In simpler terms, the harder you are pedalling, the more the motor will help you. Consider the difference in how you pedal riding on a flat surface at a constant speed compared to how you ride uphill. Generally, uphill pedalling means you’re standing on the pedals, which increase the force going through the pedals, chain, and gears. A torque sensor measures this, and will increase the power output from the motor to give you an easier ride. On the other hand, if you’re riding on a flat surface at a consistent speed, the pressure on the pedals is minimal so the motor will only offer what it has to in order to let you continue at that constant speed. What is the benefit of riding a bike with a torque sensor? Quicker Power Delivery Torque sensors turn on as soon as the pedals begin to turn, so there is no delay between the bike moving and the motor turning on. This is a great feature for heavier electric bikes such as the Aventon Aventure.2 as it gives you a quicker & smoother acceleration. Longer Range The dynamic power delivery afforded to the rider by the torque sensor means that the motor is drawing power as required as opposed to a constant amount. This means that your bike will generally travel further per charge on a torque sensor than its cadenc
