Radrover 6 plus motor.

They claim the new motor has more torque than the 5. But the specs show 69nm and the 5 is 80nm. So how does it have more torque?

Perhaps some advertising copy writer buys into the new age, minimalist "less is more" mantra?

Gears?

[RadJohn]

The torque of Rad planetary geared hub drive motor is applied directly to the wheel, it does not go through the gear train as it does on a mid-drive Ebike.

I was referring to the planetary gears in the motor.

Rover 6 does have more torque than the 1. We own both, the 1 is about a year old. I ride trails, canyons, and paved paths. Rover 6 seems to be able to climb one pedal assist lower then same areas on the older Rover 1.  Front end also seems a bit lighter which is nice.  Battery is equal to or maybe 10% better not yet sure on that.
