Most seasoned electric bike kit builders already know the importance of fitting at least one good quality torque arm on their set ups.
A lot of people new to fitting kits on bikes, probably have a torque arm as a low priority on their list, if at all
A torque arm is designed to resist the hub motor axle from spinning out of the fork or frame, when power is applied. Needless to say, the more torque your motor has, the more relevant it becomes that your bike will need a torque arm or two.
Here are some reasons why you need torque arms and a shameless plug for torque arms at Cyclezee.
I have two of his torque arms fitted (see piccys) and they really are of excellent quality:

I have two of his torque arms fitted (see piccys) and they really are of excellent quality:
- Resists axle spin, preventing resulting face plant as the wheel leaves the bike
- Even if axle does spin slightly on really high power set ups, may prevent wheel from leaving bike
- Essential for set ups that use regenerative braking
- Essential for hub motors fitted to the front fork
- Prevents hub motor cable damage from spinning axle. Costly and time consuming!
