Got my kit all installed and sorted with pedal assist working. Really happy with how it works and rides. I have 5 assist levels and have found that level 1 seems like it's not there. It's probably very faint and my 95kgs might be a defining variable. Level 2 is just about discernible. Level 3 is where I'm at. I definitely feel a boost and just adjust gears accordingly. Rarely use the throttle to flat out a steep incline. I try not to use it much as I hear it's basically full power so range suffers.
But the only niggle I have right now is that as I'm cruising along at level 3 on the flat... enjoying the scenery at 10mph... the motor will sometimes just go into a surge or boost mode for a few seconds. It's as if the throttle has been opened fully for a bit. It only lasts a few seconds and I can catch it quick by pulling a brake lever to cut the power. I just don't want this to happen if I'm near the waters edge on a towpath... could be a comedy result!
It really is a minor issue at the moment. It's not something that worries me unduly as it does it quite rarely. But when it does do it it can take me by surprise. I would like to sort it if at all possible.
