Feature highlights:

  • Thru-axle and QR compatible
  • Built-in torque arm
  • 11-speed cassettes
  • Integrated cadence PAS sensor
  • Made in Canada

Sadly it didn't get a torque PAS sensor.

If you're in the market for an electric conversion kit and you like the idea of direct-drive hubs, it probably doesn't get better than this.

While this is true, you could easily hook up a torque sensor to this setup in the form of a torque-sensing bottom bracket. Grin currently has a left-crank-measuring cheap option that isn't amazing but it's significantly better than a cadence sensor. Then there's the dual-crank option for a good chunk more. I'm running a version of the latter and it feels pretty amazing. My motor's different though. It's a smaller and lighter geared hub - Bafang G310. The G310 is more appropriate for as-light-as-possible applications. In fact the front version of this hub is probably the lightest option.
