New member with torque arm question
« on: May 17, 2025, 08:35:44 PM »
Hi, posting this to become a confirmed member. My question is, besides hose clamps, are there any torque arms which secure directly into fork and frame fender bosses? Thanks!

Hi andto the forum.

ebikes.ca produce a torque arm that is designed to use existing eyelet mounts on either the rear frame or the front fork.

Check out the TorqArm V5 on their website or watch the YouTube video here.

You can even download a full scale drawing to enable you to print and cut out the pieces to test the fit on your bike before purchasing.

I think the V6 or V7 TorqArms would be a much better choice as they transfer the torsional force much further away from the dropouts, which should greatly reduce any chance of the dropout breaking due to metal fatigue from the bidirectional axle torque being constantly applied directly to it during both power and regen, which the dropouts were never designed to withstand.  ;)
