My ebike has the CX motor. I can't say that I notice too much drag from the unit when using the bike unassisted. I'm more conscious of the fact that I'm pedalling 21kg along the road on fat tyres! I live in a hilly area and, to be honest, I'm glad of the extra poke of the CX drive.

When I last rode a bike the maximum rear cassette size was 6 sprockets - they were just going to 7. My new Haibike has 11 cogs! I reckon even a slight crud build-up will cause a problem. (Note to self: must put an old lolly stick in my seatbag!)

It's worth checking your chain for a sticky link if you have a rotational clicking noise that stops when you freewheel. The link will click as it goes through the derailleur jockey wheels or over the sprocket.
