Description
DISCLAIMER: NOT USING TORQUE ARMS MAY CAUSE THE HUB MOTOR TO SPIN OUT OF DROPOUTS
This torque arm is engineered to firmly secure the motor to the rear of the frame, effectively preventing the slotted axle from bending or damaging your dropouts. It serves as a crucial reinforcement, safeguarding your bike's integrity and ensuring dependable, safe performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Compatibility & Setup
Most bicycles featuring open-slotted dropouts and quick-release wheels are compatible. Before ordering, please verify your dropout width and ensure your frame has enough clearance to mount the battery.
Dropouts are the specific slots where the wheel axle sits in the frame. To measure them, check the inside width—most standard quick-release bikes are 135 mm. Simply match your measurement to the options listed on the Surgeride Ebikes product page.
Our motors and controllers are built to withstand rain and typical wet riding conditions. However, to protect the electronics, avoid high-pressure washing or fully submerging any components in water.

Legal Disclaimer & Compliance Notice
1. Important Notice for SurgeRide Customers
SurgeRide provides high-performance electric mobility solutions to a global market. However, electric bike (ebike) laws are highly localized and subject to frequent change. By purchasing from SurgeRide, you acknowledge that it is your sole responsibility to research, understand, and comply with the specific laws of your country, state, or territory.
2. Australian Regulations (Crucial Update)
In Australia, national standards (EN 15194) and state-specific laws strictly regulate ebike use on public infrastructure.
Power & Speed: Most states limit road-legal ebikes to a 250W continuous motor output with power assistance cutting out at 25 km/h.
Pedal Assistance: The bike must be primarily propelled by pedalling. Throttles that operate without pedalling above 6 km/h are often prohibited on public roads.
Enforcement: Authorities (particularly in NSW and QLD) have increased enforcement, including on-the-spot power testing and heavy fines for non-compliant vehicles.
SurgeRide Recommendation: We strongly advise checking your local Department of Transport or state police guidelines before riding your SurgeRide product in public spaces.
3. International Compliance
USA: Regulations generally follow the Class 1, 2, and 3 system.
UK/EU: Most regions adhere to EAPC (Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle) rules, typically capped at 250W and 15.5 mph (25 km/h).
Vehicles exceeding these limits may be classified as mopeds or motorcycles, requiring specific licensing, registration, and insurance.

The use of any SurgeRide product involves inherent risks, including the potential for serious injury. By purchasing, you agree that:
SurgeRide is not liable for any legal penalties, fines, or impoundments resulting from the use of our products in restricted areas or in violation of local laws.
