Common eBike problems and solutions

Hey everyone!

Been riding my commuter eBike (a Class 1 hybrid) for about two years now, racking up probably 3,000 miles on varied city streets and some light gravel paths. Overall, it's been fantastic, but I've definitely hit a few snags along the way – mostly related to brake squeal and a couple of mysterious power cut-outs.

It got me thinking: what are the most common eBike problems you've encountered, and more importantly, what solutions did you find? I'm curious if my experiences are typical, or if there are other recurring issues folks should be aware of. Let's share some troubleshooting wisdom!
