Hi,
I'm looking to put a 1000 watt hub motor on a hardtail mtb aluminium frame.
Since this will be a rear-hub motor is a torque arm really necessary? Logic would suggest that any pressure from the hub spinning would go inwards on the frame and not backwards where it "could" brake off the dropout?
I completely understand the logic of fitting it for a front-hub motor, but for a rear hub???
