Shorter cranks

I only went from 175 to 165 but immediately noticed the natural tendency to increased cadence. For my Bosch Gen 2 on EMTB mode it actually feels smoother - almost as if the software was calibrated for smaller than 175.

I had the same experience on my Giant/Yamaha. Seems smoother.....I guess the torque is being applied more evenly/smoothly due to increased cadence?
