Mine is the same when you first power on the bike, it takes a few pedal revolutions for the motor to provide assist, but as long as the bike stays switched on, subsequent pedalling from a stop results in near instaneous (maybe within a quarter of a pedal stroke) assist from the motor. If I turn...
Unscrew the display, and lift it out of the frame, underneath you'll find two cables coming from the display, one goes to the remote, just unplug it from here and then remove the remote from the bike.
Shouldn't be the rearhub, because the pedals should just rotate backwards without turning the chain ring at all, so the hub shouldn't come into it.
I'd ride it and see if it frees up with a bit more use
First motor failed at ~450 miles
Frame cracked at ~450 miles - discovered while cleaning the bike to take it in for the new motor
Handlebar remote failed at ~800 miles
New motor/frame etc has all been fine since though - so pretty happy with it
It'll be due to the supersoft compound tyres on the bike that's slower rolling.
Assuming there's no brake drag, or issue with the wheels, or other faults.
this place is ok (if a bit rundown), and quite good VFM if theres a few of you. Quite a few of the pro mtb teams stay there - saw some of the santa cruz syndicate team last year when we stayed.

if you have the very latest firmware installed on the motor etc, then you can use the tq app to see the versions, but if you have any earlier versions of the firmware installed the TQ app doesnt show the versions
No, it's a separate setting, nothing to do with the other screens.
I think it's worth leaving extended center button functionality enabled for that day when your handlebar remote fails, you can still change power modes. Although I guess if you have your phone on you, you can just switch it on...
The clutch in my motor failed after about 400 miles/3 months, with mine the pedals became totally disconnected from the chain ring, they just span in either direction, so I couldn't even pedal it with the motor switched off.
The motor was replaced under warranty very quickly, and the new motor...

Looks like functionally they are the same, but the ep6 is heavier, heavier casing , gears etc
I'm using the tektro magnet on my fuel exe, it works fine on my bike, but I appreciate it may not be the same for the rise. Id be tempted to try that tektro magnet and if it didn't work, hacksaw it and cable tie it to the disc In the right place.
Just use a separate magnet, something like this
