Hi, I bought and installed two torque arms for my front hub motor. wanted to make sure that I have them properly installed correctly and in the right direction since in some of the videos I watched they were installed in the opposite direction.

Many Thanks in advance

The torque arms are OK, but the motor's upside down. The cable should go downwards to avoid converting your motor into a fish tank.

It really worries me that I can't see any disc brake. Rim brakes are just not going to hack it. If you have a wife/family, make sure that you have good life insurance, otherwise enjoy living on the edge.

I agree, turn the motor round so the cable forms a drip loop. At first it looks a bit odd, but just think how water runs down something like a cable, and adheres to it. Droplets will only fall off at the bottom of the drip loop, stopping them getting inside the motor.
