I would hardly call it abuse, but that is the approach people tend to have when they are losing a debate...I wasn't going to reply but as I'm having a barrage of abuse for bringing up a valid point so here goes ,
Do you honestly think that your cassette is designed for an ebike / pedelec specifically ?
Only a couple spring to mind one of which being sram EX1 and the new Shimano link glide as already mentioned above,
as there is a big difference in a manufacturer printing ebike on the box and designing a drivetrain specifically
Also do you honestly think without motor assistance you could pull your 13t sprocket up the same hill at the same speed , i feel the answer is no so you would change down to a bigger sprocket thus reducing the wear problem and using more teeth on the lower gear
when an unassisted rider or a legal pedelec is on the 13t its usually on flat or facing down hill thus reducing the wear dramatically and being used as designed
A bigger front sprocket as already mentioned will help of course as this will keep you on bigger rear sprockets at the same speed
But my points are valid on your current setup if you don't see that i cant help .
You seem to have backtracked from your original statement and now have skewed this to a different narrative.
