Hello Friends,

Today I'm showing you how to install an ebike torque arm. These are common to have on a powerful DIY Ebike.

As a safety feature, a torque arm can help prevent the motorized wheel from flying out of the frame dropouts and off the bike.
Just a few tools are needed and installation can be completed in minutes.
I recommend using a torque arm if you have a motor over 350 watts.

Have you installed an ebike torque arm for your bike?

It's actually better to install the torque arm from the bottom because the direction of torque is opposite from that which the wheel is turning. So seeing how you have installed it is only as strong as the hose clamp holding it, which isn't that good

Gonna use this as reference for installing my 2 torque arm kit on my walmart bike that I am converting into a 1000w e-bike when the parts get here next weekend. Since the kit has 2 arms, I'm gonna put one on each side

[andylin]

you are going to round that bolt out in no time

I'm very new to ebikes and you have been my go to source. You have so much good stuff out there. If you have 10 seconds I have a quick question sir; if someone was running 2 hub motors and their combined max current from the controllers was 60 amps, and you used a battery with 50amp BMS (52v 20ah), what would happen? If you ran WOT you may trip the BMS of the battery and it come back on after a few seconds? Or something worse? Thank you!

This is wrong. All of the work is being done by the hose clamp. The torque is going backward.
As for the arm not fitting on in the right direction, you needed to flip it around to get it lined up. You only rotated the piece and selected from one of two direction. The item is not symmetrical - you need to flip it around and try those directions.

Those wire clippers is a adjustable wrench.

You are supposed to install the torque arm, against the torque.

You have it backwards.

The only thing holding your torque arm on is the hose clamp.

You really should think about what you post - this installation is very dangerous not to only you (OP, ) but others who are installing it wrong.

Will this actually help? My rear wheel is also not fitting a lot exactly like the way ur axle doesnt fit a whole lot into the frame

[UrDadsFavouriteMaleEscort]

Had a 750 watt hub that ate my dropouts completely. I opt for steel frame now exclusively. Torque arms not optional.

[paule.maurice]

I'd use a coaster brake wheel lstay clamp looks slicker

[gettingluckytrading]

Good information! You’re a pro fo sho!

[simonashmead]

I’ve just purchased a fiido m21 with a m12
Axle and 175mm drop out it runs 500watt rear hub but I’d like to fit a 1000
Or more powerful motor any advice please it’s for usage on private land in U.K.

I've seen some people or the torque arm from the bottom. Does it make a difference? Do you get better torque transfer if it's coming from the top? I've always thought so myself

[siyamislam]

Is it enough to install just one side?

[girlsdrinkfeck]

" metal ring " is a jubilee clip or a hose clamp :) not to be pedantic but people who are new to basic DIY skills might wanna know what to type in to buy some

[tytyhar]

Hello I have a 1200 kit it came with 2 of those styles torque arms do I have to put one on each side or is it extra for when lost

[sotheamam]

Hi does it metter how the motor turn for the torque arm to work correctly.

[ItZFlipz]

i dont get it so its held on by a metal zip tie thing clamp, you never screwed the torque arm into the brakes that how its done right

[TheAmbitiousCitizen]

Does it matter wich side I install the torque arm?

[yourfavouritescepticx]

Should I put two torque arms or will one do ?
