The motor is rated to deliver 200W of power and 40Nm of torque yet is able to practically disappear upon being integrated onto a bike thanks to its ultra-compact design. The mid-motor is paired with a slim battery pack, while a remote control can be positioned at the handlebars to support easy control. The TQ HPR40 electric bike motor makes use of an intelligent sensor and adaptive software to deliver [pedal assistance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thomus-lightrider) that's matched at up to 100% of the rider's input. The motor is observed on the Canyon Endurance:[ONfly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neuron-onfly) series bikes with additional released expected.
