This type of motor doesn't use torque/pressure sensor. It's equiped with integrated rev counter instead which computes signals of pedaling and reads rev frequency from the main axle. This allows for MAXDRIVE motor to be more price competitive and represents much better value than motors that use torque sensor. It can also be easily modified by adding gear sensor.
