Hi. I've been using a Ninebot ES2 with the additional battery pack for around a month now and it's going great. If I'm on a flat and smooth open area I usually open it up to it's top speed which is around 32-33 kph.

The problem I've been experiencing is that when the unit gets into the higher speeds, the electronic brake seems to be over powered. Only lightly pressing on the e-brake causes it to brake with considerable force. When I'm not expecting it, it is quite unnerving. I'm concerned that if the road surface is wet or slippery that it would cause the front wheel to lock up. This is especially bad because the brake has a slight delayed response so when I release it, it doesn't disengage straight away. Around 25kph it seems to operate normally.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?
