Boost not much difference over Sport?

The Brose motors give best peak power at higher cadences. I flex my cadences based on riding conditions. If I want to push rapid acceleration I will drop the cadence down to 60. For cruising and mild hills I run it up to 70. If I am about to climb steep hills I will run it up to 80.

from day 1 I went and adjusted my output settings to 25-50-75-100% on the Brose mini display and usually run it at sport or boost just because I like cruising along at top speed. So I really can’t say much from experience on the difference between 50% and 100%
 
Interesting, but you are feeling a difference as you go between your various settings between 50-100. I'm guessing it might be a cadence issue since I have dropped mine down to 65 or so on the enviolo hub--on steep hills, that may be too slow to "activate" boost vs. speed. Maybe? I didn't think there was that much interplay/communication between the enviolo hub and the brose motor but I guess I'm wrong! Not the first time!
I can definitely feel the changes in torque output when dropping from 100% to 75% to 50%. It’s not super noticeable but the increase in resistance is there.

the enviolo hub does take a bit of break in, right around 150 miles for me is when it started to ease up on the resistance some and became less of a power drag.

also I got rid of the schwalbes. They had amazing cornering and grip. But they felt like they had quite a bit of rolling resistance and weight in exhange for the grip. Once I got the new tires on it seemed to liven up the top speed of the bike. I lost a bit of comfort though so my ride is harsher. Just out of curiosity did your bike come with the Kendas or the Schwalbes?
