One clear disadvantage of full ceramic bearings is that they cannot handle the same loads as their steel counterparts. Ceramic bearings have lower toughness, making them more prone to fracture or damage under extreme loads and impacts.

Error 503 is Speed Sensor Fault, and may be your error is 503 with suffix 01b. I'd give a try to the speed sensor location, distance, cable... I just googled it, and I was wrong, error means: Your drive unit was restarted unexpectedly...

If the battery can be killed in a test, it probably may also suffer a "natural death" during a long ride, normally at the most remote location of the track. So if the test kills the battery, it is uncovering a battery issue and saving you the hassle. Well, that's my opinion and I may be wrong.
