Speed sensor or Torque sensor?

Speed sensor or Torque sensor?

 

Are you hesitant or unsure of what the difference is between a speed sensor and one torque sensor? Let us explain!

Speed sensor

This is a pedal assistance that works with the movement of the pedals: as soon as you start pedaling, you will feel the electric assistance propel you suddenly. It is only found on motors located at wheel level. 

For example, a speed sensor will be very appreciated by a mountain bike enthusiast. The speed sensor provides the desired power to initiate solid starts on slopes or rocky terrain.

Torque sensor

This is a pedal assist that works with the movement of the pedals, but takes into account the pressure exerted on the pedal. This means that if you exert a slight pressure on your pedals at the start, the electric assistance will help you with equal value, resulting in a progressive and smooth start. You will not feel the big start push that a speed sensor offers.

The Torque sensor is automatically included on our electric bikes with a pedal motor, but it is also possible to find it on models with a wheel motor.

A Torque sensor will be appreciated by anyone wishing to enjoy a smooth and stable start.
