So on another thread the other day I said that I didn't think there was any assistance reduction in cold temperatures, i don't mean battery capacity (as capacity is well known to reduce in cold temps) but I mean the motors ability to pull you up a given hill at a given speed for a given amount of effort.
However today I was out in probably minus one deg celcius, and the assistance from the motor felt significantly lower when the going got really steep, it wasn't too noticeable on more gentle hills, but on proper steep stuff it felt like I was having to work harder than I would normally.
Is this a known thing? That the assistance from the motor decreases in lower temps?
Eco and tour modes felt the same as normal but turbo felt significantly less strong.
If it makes any difference I have a bosch cx gen4 motor.
