Electric bikes (e-bikes) have seen rapid growth and evolution over the past decade. Once viewed as a niche product, e-bikes are now mainstream, with sales exploding globally. The e-bike market is projected to reach $92 billion by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A key technology that has enabled major leaps in e-bike performance and experience is torque sensing. Torque sensors measure a rider’s pedaling force and allow the motor to respond seamlessly. This creates a natural biking feel unmatched by early e-bike systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As technology progresses, torque sensing holds incredible potential to further revolutionize e-bikes. This article will explore the future of torque sensing technology and how it will shape the e-bike industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A torque sensor detects rotational force applied to the crank arms and sends this data to the motor controller. It enables the motor to apply power proportional to the rider’s efforts for a seamless, natural ride feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key benefits torque sensors provide over basic cadence sensors include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Torque sensors are typically integrated into the bottom bracket area. Higher-end systems may have multiple torque sensors to tune power delivery precisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Advanced torque sensor designs are compact, durable, and waterproofed to handle off-road riding. They connect to the motor controller area via wires or wireless protocols like ANT+ or Bluetooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Though already advanced, torque sensor tech continues to innovate rapidly in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/a>Current State of Torque-Sensing Technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
