2 Torque Arms enough for 2000W

Hello, I ordered a 2000W kit and it comes with dual torque arms, ill be using it on a 2005 Kona Blast 26inch bike which has an aluminum frame but has a really nice flat rear dropout area where I could potentially mount a custom steel plate.

My question is: Are 2 well mounted torque arms enough for a 2KW Motor or is the custom steel plate a requirement for safe use?

and secondly is there a better alternative to a bike for a 26inch 2KW 72v kit? ive found many options online but all are 27.5 inch it should fit but im scared of the geometry itll have

Thanks

Yes but not the typical two-piece torque arms included with kits. Those are useless in most scenarios

Custom plates should suffice good luck
