One month out of warranty and both wires fail... Not sure how to fix this! Overall very satisfied with the bike. 2000km mostly offroad with some heavy abuse. The only thing I don't like are the brakes. Tried everything but are still quite week.

Compared to the power you need to move the bike, the motor resistance is not important. Don't let this be a decisive factor.

I must say I have a completely different experience with WALK assist. And I use it A LOT. I usually climb local hill tops, that only have foot paths, so I need to push the bike very often. In 1st gear the bike is almost too fast for me if I am a bit tired already. One thing is annoying though...

I had a first ride after fixing/cleaning yesterday. After descending for a while the brakes started squealing (I hope that's the right word) (making a LOT of high pitched noise). Also I could smell them, but did not dare to touch them. After cooling down, now I would say they work a bit...

This is how my disc looks.

From what I have read on the bosch site, and from experience, I would say it depends on all three parameters.

True! It also depends on cadence and speed.

I changed the pads from original Shimano to cheap Chinese... no difference. I have worn the originals down to zero in 300 miles. Perhaps I will really get new/better/bigger brakes for the next season.

Discs have definitely changed color! Will add pictures later.

Brakes probably did overheat a few times, but they work the same from day 1. Without applying the brakes, the wheel spins freely. there is a small gap between the pads and the disc. Just to clarify. The wheel does lock when brakes are applied. But the brakes let go a bit, if I push the bike hard.

No. I used the middle screw to move them further away. They are mildly stiff for the first 2cm of travel, and than very stiff for the rest.

No. It is a fixed value in other modes. Like always 200% the torque you input. But it is not a fixed value in this mode. To correct myself! "Like always max 200%"

I have Shimano BR-M315 hydraulic brakes on my Cube, but the braking power feels very low. I tried adding some oil, letting the air out, changing brake pads, cleaning the discs... Everything I could think of, but it still feels week. Actually none of the steps improved anything. How week the...

No, the new modes are OFF ECO TOUR EMTB and TURBO I just don't see much use for TOUR and TURBO, since EMTB covers their power range.

Had the new SW installed a few days ago. eMTB mode works great. It replaces SPORT and makes TOUR and TURBO obsolete. I used to have to switch between modes all the time (in the mountains), but now I can really just leave it in eMTB.
