Also worth checking you've not over torqued your seat clamp which can slow it down. To discount that, loosen your clamp and test it.... Just in case.

A few weeks ago.... LBS found a sheared a non replaceable Bosch motor mount on my 1 year old Cube when replacing a cable under warranty..... Luckily Bosch covered it under warranty and I had a new free motor supplied and fitted in just over a week👍 I'd put over 2000 miles on the motor in year...

I do both. If heading to somewhe where I want to ride all day and im up and down from the carpark... like Contin, Laggan, Dunkeld, etc the the spare stays in the van till needed If doing a big long mountain day then it goes in the backpack.

Ah, yeah mine was feeling lumpy, loose and sloppy by the time I did the extensive service and replacements so know how that feels. Feeling brand new now though and bosch motor has been sweet since day one with no issues (touches wood). I've also seen loads of second hand emtbs up for sale with...
