Verge Motorcycles, the Finnish electric motorcycle manufacturer known for its futuristic hubless rear wheel design, is claiming another massive first...
In a hub motor, the torque is measured at the wheel (since the motor is directly attached to the wheel). In ICE motorcycles, the torque figure mentioned is engine torque so to get the wheel torque, we have to multiply by the gear ratio, drive ratio, etc. In terms of actual wheel torque, I don’t expect much difference between this and desmosedici bikes from Ducati. Just that with the electrical motor, you can apply the full torque instantly
