Hi there
I'm on the verge of building my first eBike, it all seems to stack up nicely, but I'm thinking about my options as far as torque arms go. I was wondering if anybody here had any bright ideas or had converted the same bike (as per title, a Scott Scale 950)?
Essentially, I'm looking at a running a 1500-2000W rear hub from 58V and I'm unconvinced by ugly 'generic' torque arms. I'm not a fan of jubilee clips and would like to avoid them if at all possible....
Photos below show the dropouts I'm dealing with.
The only real options I can see are to attach a custom built torque arm to the caliper mounts which would need to come over the top of the chain stays and/or possibly just bolt through the derailleur hanger attachment on the other side. The first option feels overly complex and far from brilliant mechanically.
Am I over-thinking this? I may be overreacting to the jubilee clip solution...
Anyway, any advice, experience or thoughts would be much appreciated.
Cheers
