What is the difference between the different types of Bosch motors?Updated 7 days ago

The main difference between Bosch mid-drive motors is the torque they deliver , measured in Newton meters (Nm). The higher the torque, the more support the motor provides, which makes cycling uphill or carrying heavy loads considerably easier. For frequent climbs, a motor with  at least 50 Nm is recommended.
