The comparison of pure cadence vs torque sensor pedal assist is really only applicable on most hub motor e-bikes. Many e-bikes with a mid-drive motor will actually use multiple sensors, ...

A cadence sensor, on the other hand, works by detecting the pedal rotations per minute (RPM). The motor kicks in when it ...

The net effect is that cadence sensor ebikes tend to feel a bit like riding with a pedal-activated on-and-off switch. As a general rule, cheaper ebikes only come with cadence sensors. Almost ...

Torque sensors are usually found on more premium e-bikes that promise a smoother, more seamless ride. The goal of the torque sensor is to deliver as natural a pedal assistance as possible, making ...

The answer to the ideal cadence depends on who you ask and what you’re trying to achieve.

The cadence-only sensor only senses rotations per minute of the crank arm. The speed/cadence combo is the most popular, providing both types of data to cyclists through a combination of sensors.

Most value-oriented electric bikes (i.e., in the sub-$2,000-ish category) use what is known as a cadence sensor to activate pedal assist. The cadence sensor is a less refined component that ...

In iOS 17 and watchOS 10, Apple turned the iPhone and Apple Watch into full-featured bike computers. Here's how to set up your devices and add cadence sensors, speed sensors, and more to track ...

Think of cadence sensor pedal assist as cruise control: the bike applies a specific amount of power to get you to the speed your pedal assist setting calls for. The Pedego Interceptor and Pedego ...
