E-Bike Assist Feels Weaker Than Normal
The motor is still working, but noticeably less powerfully than usual.
What's happening
You're still getting some help from the motor, but it feels muted — like riding with the assist level turned down, even though you haven't changed it.
Likely causes
- •The system entering a protective 'limp' mode after overheating
- •A battery that's ageing and can no longer deliver peak current
- •Cold weather temporarily reducing battery performance
What to do
Safe to keep riding home gently. Let the system cool down and rest before assuming a fault — heat-related limp modes usually resolve on their own.
