Lets Talk

         Torque.

Torque at the motor is meaningless if it doesn’t translate at the wheels. This tool shows what your drivetrain is really doing once gearing is applied.
Get the ratio wrong, and you’ll either build something slow, inefficient — or something that breaks.

Qulomb Engineering Tool

Motor Torque to Wheel Torque

Convert motor torque into wheel torque, tractive effort, road speed, startability and gradeability. Built for EV conversions, heavy driveline sizing, gear-ratio sanity checks, and catching gearing decisions before they become expensive nonsense.

Defaults are representative heavy-duty EV values. Use a real motor datasheet curve when you actually care about the result.

Vehicle Inputs

Road-load model
Tyre marking example: 295/80R22.5 means 295 mm width, 80% aspect ratio, and 22.5 inch rim. The fields below automatically hide or lock depending on the selected tyre radius source. Hover the ? icons for field-specific hints.

Results update automatically after input changes. If the graph looks weird, your curve points probably are weird. Machines are honest like that.
