@Scepterr I don’t see a torque arm, did you install it on the other side?
that?
@Scepterr, yeah PLEASE don’t ride it like that. The cast aluminum will shear right off and you’ll do a face plant. A lot of reports of this over the internet of the exact thing happening. You need to instal one of those laser cut steel torque arms. This one has been working well for me https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S28NY52/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
ordered, thanks for looking out
swapping tire and disc to match what I have on the rear atm
Is there a general guide on how to install these?
I just took my existing wheel off and put this one on 🤷
It’s this from the shady $4.50 guy?
Can you post a photo of how you install that contraption?
I mean I know what it does but don’t want to install it in a way that renders it superfluous.
@whaddys and @Venom121212 here’s some installation photos and a guide by the original creators: https://www.ebikes.ca/product-info/torque-arms.html
Basically the goal is to have it installed tightly to
Oppose the torque generated from the motor. Watch buying the cheap ones on eBay, if it has a loose fit on the axle then they are useless. The amazon linked ones above fit extremely tight on these axles.
Nah some australian supplier. I didn’t actually make the transaction so I have zero details.
I would move the washer between the torque washer and axle locknut to the inside of the fork, as shown in the pictures on this link:
And yes, install torque arm(s), especially if front fork dropout is made of aluminum instead of steel.
Great3
swapped tire and disc out
was able to add a washer on the disc side, don’t think I can add one where the motor wires come out
Got my wheels, pics
I also got these and they are loose asf!!!
They won’t start spinning but it could definitely shift back and forth, this might not be an issue because there is only large torque in one direction.
loose how? I had to Dremel the paint away on the fork for it to go in and even then required considerable force.
I mean the torque arm’s fit over the hub shaft. Not tight at all, wish it was because just filing it a little would be easy. It’s a little too “universal”
@Fosterqc the ones I linked the flats fit so tightly I was barely able to get it onto the axles. (There is however a small gap on the side, but the flats are all we need to transfer the torque) Are you sure it wasn’t just a similar looking one? The ones I linked look the same, but of the 3 sets I’ve ordered all have been tight . All the sets are copies from the origional ebikes.ca one but those are like 30 bucks
Gonna be getting this throttle, I should be able to wire the key to an antispark as the switch right?
I ordered from TIKSCIENCE or whatever so could it just be a defect one?
It’s really loose lol. I could use the rest of the parts but get a custom part to replace the loose one
@Fosterqc did you get the two pack? I’ll take some pictures in the morning of how mine fit. I also purchased from that seller. Does your bracket itself look punch pressed like the rest of the parts or laser cut?
