Hi there

Had a flat tire last week and therefor I made the decision to go from 3.3" tire to 4.0" because it's easier to find puncture 'free' tires in that size. Also I chose the city tire so the wheels won't make as loud a noise.
However, now the acceleration is more slow and it feels like I've gained twice my weight. The top-speed without helping much is now 23 km/h whereas before it was 24.5 km/h.
Most annoying is that the battery is using way more power and is now going only 30 km when I was going 45-50 before.
Seems like everything is running smooth, and there is no weird sounds and the tires are filled to the maximum psi.

Have anyone experienced the same or has a suggestion to fix it?

My plan B is of course to change the tires back to the original 3.3" but I'm not sure this will fix it.

All the best
Nickolai
