I have an ebike, I ride it fairly hard, and I’m fairly heavy too at 115kg.
I like riding in Turbo which gives me 788w of power and 90nm of torque.

I fitted a Specialized Black Dimond tyre to the rear at Christmas.
This is not marketed as an ebike tyre.
It has done 2563km of trouble free k’s so far.
Here is the result

Yeah it’s a 27.5 x2.6, and I run one on the front too in a Grid case. They have superb grip at my local which is mainly loose over hard. Much better than the old DHR DHF.
I put another 50km on them today and have done 117km this week so far for 2 rides. I done 180km last week total.

E bike tyres are a marketing ploy ;) Just get a tyre with an Enduro or DH casing .

How do you get 788w , I thought maximum from a Brose was 500W in S-Pedelec spec. ?

Marketing ploy, I hear ya, like a lot of ebike specific parts I suspect.
788w peak power standard Specialized spec and tune. No special sauce needed. ?
