Feature highlights:

  • Thru-axle and QR compatible
  • Built-in torque arm
  • 11-speed cassettes
  • Integrated cadence PAS sensor
  • Made in Canada

Sadly it didn't get a torque PAS sensor.

If you're in the market for an electric conversion kit and you like the idea of direct-drive hubs, it probably doesn't get better than this.

Not sure on these ones specifically but the experience of a cadence sensor for me is rapid and unintuitive acceleration. In this way I think torque sensors, despite higher cost, are much more fit for regular non-serious cyclists like me.

Of course the comment OP should head over to a couple ebike stores and do some test rides to evaluate this and other factors for themselves if they're able.

I have very little experience on cadence sensors but have heard people discuss tuning them to be better. I don't want to poopoo something I haven't used and can believe that with proper software it can be acceptable for some uses.
