My Marin is all aluminum and I am having a bit of trouble finding out if it is ok (as in safe) to install a rear hub kit on a aluminum frame.
Jimbo397,
Ebikes.ca only carries torque arms for front wheel hub motors and they're right, their front wheel torque arm can't be used for a rear installation. You need a different design. As for using them on a rear wheel, I'd recommend their use and them on my rear-mounted wheel.
