Torque sensor sits beside the Cassette, you can see it here -senses how hard your pedaling
The torque sensor measures how much pressure you’re applying to the pedals in real time and adapts the amount of power assist accordingly. At low pressure, the torque may amplify your pedal power by 50%. Applying more pressure can amplify your pedaling by up to 300%, depending on the e-bike. Torque sensors are incredibly refined to respond to your pedaling and can take up to 1,000 measurements per pedal stroke.
There are two main types of e-bike torque sensors: rear torque sensors and bottom bracket sensors. Rear torque sensors use a precision strain gauge. Every time you push down on the pedal, the strain gauge moves. The gauge’s movement signals to the motor the amount of force you’re using.
A bottom bracket sensor uses magnets instead of a gauge. The metal shafts between the bike’s cranks have magnetic power, and the sensor assesses the magnetic field around the shafts as they move. This reading is then converted into a voltage signal and communicated to the motor.
