These pads are an absolute blessing. Once ridden in a bit, they have stopping power that easily beats half the disc brakes out there (certainly those mechanical or hydraulic with tiny rotors). I have these on my commuter bike (not an e-bike; with mere stock V-brakes), coming off from stock pads which wore out in no time, had very little stopping power, had metallic bits in them or collected those off the rim, and you were never quite sure when you were actually through to the metal and truly had to exchange them.
None of those issues exists with these pads. They feel relatively soft, which is probably why they grip so well, but they still have superb longevity. I've ridden them for half a year now, using the front brake more or less excessively every day, and to my surprise, they still even show the notches they have coming from the factory. Definitely a recommendation. This is easily the best compound I've ever seen pads made of and the rim friendliness is not just marketing b/s. The ability to swap out just the pads without having to buy the entire mount is a big plus (and one of the main reasons for me personally for purchasing them to begin with), though I haven't even needed that yet.
