thanks for all this. the metallic pads are much harder on the rotors, expecially if you're not doing hard braking that gets the pads up to temperature.
I'm running Swiss Stop pads on the ebike (and Hawk "street" pads on the Porsche) but I think I'll give the discotech pads a try at the next pit stop haha.
