Torque v cadence - which has more efficient battery usage (my wife's battery ran out, mine did not...)?

only the Woosh Rambla has torque sensor.

The Rambla is not showing in your online shop - how does one order it or is there a waiting list? Actually I had my eye on the Santana - can that be modified to accomodate your torque sensor or is that a lost cause?

I'll put the Rambla back in the online shop at the end of the month.

you can convert the Santana to use your TS kit in about an hour.
Take the crankset out and drop your TS kit in. The motor and battery use the same connectors.

torque sensor beats cadence sensor on battery economy in most cases.
You are forced to pedal harder with torque sensor.

Pedalling harder tires you out faster which forces you to use the motor assist more often later on even on flats during long distance commuting depending on a specific conditions. Cadence sensors might even sustain the momentum better than torque sensors on hills due to inherent nature of uneven leg power delivery resulting in current fluctuations when using torque sensors.

Torque sensor are just plain daft - nothing more to say. If you want to feel natural pedalling, you might as well do it naked.
