Why do I need a Torque Sensor for my E-Bike?

A torque sensor is a crucial component in an electric bike (E-bike) as it measures the force applied to the pedals, allowing for proportional electric assistance. This results in a more natural and efficient riding experience, optimizing energy consumption and extending battery life. Torque sensors ensure smooth transitions between pedaling and motor assistance, enhancing control and safety while complying with regional power output regulations.

Wondering if our torque/angle sensor technology can be used for your application? Check out the specifications.

Having a torque sensor on an e-bike provides several benefits for you as a rider:

  1. Improved quality of your ride: A torque sensor makes the e-bike responsive to the efforts of the rider. A responsive bike provides a more natural and intuitive ride experience. This makes the ride smoother and much more enjoyable.
  2. Enhanced safety: A torque sensor helps to ensure that the e-bike provides the perfect level of assistance for the rider’s abilities and the conditions of the ride. This reduces the risk of accidents caused by the motor providing too much or too little assistance, and the rider losing control of the bike.
  3. Increased the efficiency of the e-bike: By measuring the rider’s pedaling force, a torque sensor can optimize the assistance provided by the e-bike’s motor. This makes the ride more efficient and increases the range of the bike. You can climb steep mountains and enjoy longer distances on an electric bike that is optimized with a pedal assist system (PAS) that includes a torque sensor.
  4. Better control: A torque sensor provides the e-bike’s controller with accurate information about the rider’s intentions. It ensures a more controlled and responsive ride. This is particularly important when driving on challenging routes.

Overall, with a torque sensor included in your e-bike’s pedal assist system, you are likely to have a high-quality electric bike that will make your ride much more enjoyable, safer, more efficient, and more controlled, so make sure that your electric bike is provided with it.
