What is Nm torque in electric bikes?

The rotational force that assists the motor to spin the wheels is known as Nm torque. The full form of Nm is Newton-meter, which is a unit of torque. Torque is like the "muscle" of the motor. It's what gives you that strong, immediate push, especially when you're going uphill or starting from a stop.


You'll want a bike with high torque if you plan to ride on trails, tackle hills, or carry extra weight. An e-bike that has 286 Nm of on-wheel torque will be more powerful than the e-bike with 200 Nm. Looking at the torque rating is important as it gives you a good indication of the pickup, ride quality, and overall performance of the bike in different road conditions.
