Torque vs. Cadence: How Cycrown’s Dual Sensors Transform Your Ride

The Three Core Sensors Explained

Cadence Sensor — Measures How Fast You Pedal

A cadence sensor tracks how fast you pedal (RPM).

The motor provides a fixed level of assist whenever you’re pedaling — no matter how much effort you apply.

Pros

  • Simple and low-cost
  • Easy to maintain
  • Ideal for relaxed, low-effort rides

Cons

  • Assist can feel abrupt or delayed (usually kicks in after a few pedal strokes)
  • Power feels fixed and less “human-like”

Best For: Riders who prefer effortless commuting and steady assist.


Torque Sensor — Measures How Hard You Pedal

A torque sensor measures how much force you apply to the pedals — it “feels” how hard you’re working.

Pros

  • Ultra-smooth, natural riding feel
  • Instant power response
  • More efficient — battery lasts longer because power is proportional to effort

Cons

  • More advanced and costly system

Best For: Riders who want realistic, responsive power that feels like an extension of their legs.


Speed Sensor — Measures How Fast You’re Moving

Speed sensors detect the rotation speed of your wheel, telling the system how fast you’re traveling. It’s often used together with cadence or torque sensors to regulate when and how much assist to provide.

At Cycrown, our Verve and Hunter models use Speed Sensors, offering smooth and reliable assistance for everyday riding.

Pros

  • Simple and responsive
  • Essential for speed control and cut-off functions

Cons

  • Doesn’t measure rider effort

How to Choose: Single vs. Dual-Sensor E-Bikes

Choosing between a single-sensor and a dual-sensor e-bike depends on your riding style and needs.

If you mostly ride on flat city roads and prefer steady, low-effort cruising, a single-sensor bike like the Verve or Hunter is simple, affordable, and reliable.

But if you want a ride that adapts to your effort, feels more natural and responsive, and performs better on hills or long-distance rides, then a Dual-Sensor system — like on Cycrown Dremax and Roma — gives you the best of both worlds.


Cycrown DREMAX & ROMA: The Power of Dual Sensing

Both DREMAX and ROMA are powered by Cycrown’s next-gen Dual-Sensor System, combining torque and cadence sensing for smarter, smoother assistance in every condition.

The result? Effortless transitions between climbing power and cruising ease — without you lifting a finger.

In Torque Mode:
You get a responsive, natural feel — perfect for hills, workouts, or sporty rides.

In Cadence Mode:
You enjoy a smooth, effortless glide — ideal for daily commutes or casual weekend rides.
