Passing kidney stones is worse. You're lucky you did not break your neck or back. Damn pedal strikes. My worst accidents on an E-bike have all been due to pedal strikes. Get better soon.
Yes spot on! Amazing how much the characteristics of the ride changes. The slacker setting is way more fun. Sacrifice some front end stability but after trying both I prefer it. Makes the bike fun to ride!

Welcome! Just take it easy out there. An e-bike can be a bit of a steep learning curve compared to a traditional bike. They sit super low too so be mindful of pedal strikes. Saying that! They are amazing and so much fun.
ENJOY!
