The primary difference of our e-bike chains vs regular chains is the pin riveting technology used. Extended durability is an added bonus from us as e-bike riders usually ride farther.

Mid motors exert massive force across the chain between the chainring and cassette. When shifting under this load, the torsional stress is immense and this is where most chains fail on e-bikes (unfortunately, also on regular bikes on occasion). The issue is the chain plates are pulled in opposite directions when shifting on cassette teeth while the motor is pulling the chain. If a regular chain hasn't shifted correctly by the time it makes it to the top of the cassette and is "twisted", the pin power may not be enough to hold the chain together and calamity may ensue where the plate pulls away from the pin. Our new ebike-specific chains have a larger pin that is riveted in a completely different way than regular chains and have been recognized by ebike brands and product managers around the world. Check your favorite brands ebike specs and you'll see many are already using our ebike chains.
