yes, for good measure i ordered another 4 (!) sets of brake pads and two spare discs

i had remarked about this that the conditions of these hills have a heavy wear on brakes and for cars, the cylinders both from laboring to go up, and from compression braking going down

i suspect also the motor gets overheated doing the uphills as well, thouugh as i mention, it could be an electrical fault somewhere

i'm pretty much hoping to keep this thing running until it's clocked over 1200km and then i'll probably throw it away, and be more careful choosing an ebike next time... needs to have regen, needs a 350W motor, ideally even the front has regen braking as well

idk if such things even exist... and also, anyhow, it's insane it has all the wires to have a wired in actual braking light but my cheap version didn't have any, just a crappy manually activated battery powered thing that is easy to leave on after you get home exhausted at night
