Feature highlights:
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.
Oooh, I'm not usually super enticed by e-bike stuff, but this has me wanting to start a conversion kit project...
Cadence sensors like this suck though. Torque sensors are far superior.
While this is true, you could easily hook up a torque sensor to this setup in the form of a torque-sensing bottom bracket. Grin currently has a left-crank-measuring cheap option that isn't amazing but it's significantly better than a cadence sensor. Then there's the dual-crank option for a good chunk more. I'm running a version of the latter and it feels pretty amazing. My motor's different though. It's a smaller and lighter geared hub - Bafang G310. The G310 is more appropriate for as-light-as-possible applications. In fact the front version of this hub is probably the lightest option.
