Here at VoltBike, we’re always looking for ways to make your ride smoother, more intuitive, and just plain more fun. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a major upgrade now available across our lineup: Torque Sensors!
If you’ve got your eye on one of our rear-hub motor e-bikes—or if you’re already part of the VoltBike family—this exciting option is here to take your riding experience to the next level. Let’s dive into what this means for you and why we’re so pumped about it.
Torque Sensors: Now an Option for All Rear-Hub Models
Starting today, every VoltBike model with a rear-hub motor—like the fan-favorite Yukon 750, Bravo, or Outback—can be fitted with a shiny new Torque Sensor for just a $99 upgrade when you purchase a new bike. That’s right, for less than a hundred bucks, you can add a cutting-edge feature that’s usually reserved for our higher-end Mid-Drive Bikes.
And if you’re a local customer with an existing VoltBike, good news—you can reach out to us directly to explore retrofitting your ride with this tech. Just drop us a line through sales@voltbike.com, and we’ll get the conversation rolling!
Why Torque Sensors Are a Big Deal
So, what’s all the hype about? A torque sensor measures how hard you’re pedaling and adjusts the motor’s power output accordingly. It’s like giving your VoltBike a sixth sense—it responds to your effort in real time, delivering a seamless, natural boost that feels like an extension of your own strength. Here’s why riders are loving this upgrade:
-
Smoother, More Intuitive Ride: Unlike the cadence sensor (which we’ll get to in a sec), a torque sensor ramps up the assistance based on your pedal pressure. Push harder, and you get more power; ease off, and it dials back. It’s like having a dance partner who’s perfectly in sync with your moves.
-
Better Efficiency: Because the motor only kicks in as much as you need, you can stretch your battery life further—perfect for those long weekend adventures or tackling a steep hill without breaking a sweat.
-
Enhanced Control: Whether you’re cruising through the city or hitting the trails, the torque sensor gives you a finely tuned ride that adapts to your style. It’s empowering and responsive in a way that makes every pedal stroke feel just right.
Now, let’s be clear—our bikes with cadence sensors are still awesome. They’ve been the backbone of our lineup for years, delivering reliable, straightforward assistance that kicks in soon after you start pedaling (after one rotation of the pedal to be precise). They’re great for riders who want a consistent boost without overthinking it, and they’ve powered countless happy trips across Canada, the USA and beyond.
But if you’re ready to elevate your ride, the torque sensor is like shifting from a trusty sedan to a sleek sports car—same great foundation, just with a little extra finesse.
Why We’re Excited (And Why You Should Be Too!)
Offering torque sensors as an upgrade is a big step for us at VoltBike. It’s about giving you more choices to customize your e-bike to match how you ride. Whether you’re commuting to work, hauling groceries, or exploring off-road trails, this option lets you fine-tune your bike to your needs—all while keeping that unbeatable VoltBike value we’re known for. At just $99 on a new purchase, it’s an affordable way to unlock premium performance without breaking the bank.
Plus, we love how this reflects our commitment to innovation. From our garage startup days to our current 8,000-square-foot facility in Port Coquitlam, BC, we’ve always been about pushing the envelope to bring you the best e-bikes for great prices.
The torque sensor upgrade is proof of that—pairing our rugged, reliable designs with tech that makes every ride feel effortless and exhilarating.
