What is a spoke motor?

A spoke motor is a type of electric motor commonly used in bicycles, particularly in hub motors for electric bikes. It features spokes that connect the motor's rotor to the wheel rim, allowing for efficient power transfer directly to the wheel. This design helps in reducing weight and improving the overall efficiency of the bike's propulsion system. Spoke motors are known for their compact design and ability to provide direct drive, resulting in smoother and more responsive riding experiences.
