Torque arms are there to save your motor, your bicycle, and your body from harm, so don’t skip this important step!

For this eBike wheel, since the cable to the motor is on the right hand side of the bike, we will install the Torque Arm onto the left hand side.

Unscrew the left Axle Nut all the way off and insert the Torque Arm’s main plate in the correct direction as shown in the photos, then you can put the Axle Nut back on and tighten it back up a bit to keep everything in place, but not a final tightening yet.

Next comes the secondary Torque Arm plate, which you lock into position using the included bolt. Make sure the nut is on the inside, toward the wheel, and tighten it up with your wrench just enough to keep the plates sliding against each other, but not a final tightening yet… Take a pause to review your set-up and make sure it matches the photos.

If it looks good, you are ready to do a final tightening of the left and right outer Axle nuts… You’ll want to tighten them down securely but not too much… A good strong turn with a 6" inch wrench is plenty for most eBike hub motors. Take another pause to review your set-up and make sure it matches the photos.

After the Axle nuts are tight, we can add the clamp, carefully threading it through the thin slot on the secondary Torque plate as shown in the photos… Once in place, tighten it up with a screwdriver taking up all the slack.

Now you can go back and tighten up the Torque plate bolt till it’s nice and tight and do another review of both the right and left sides… Confirm the left side has the Axle nut on the outside, then Torque Arm plate, then the Torque Washer facing the open dropouts, then the flat Axle washer.

If all looks good, you can reset your brakes and give them a quick visual scan to see how well they touch the rim. Most likely minor adjustments will be required before final completion… Make a mental note of anything that looks off for now and we will come back to it.

Place the left and right rubber nut caps back on, and then carefully flip your bike over, as it will now be much heavier with the new eBike wheel installed… And then take a moment to admire your work before moving on.
