Yesterday myself and the wife went on a run around the local area, she on her Sonlova and me on the Alien Titan.
I could not understand why I had to keep slowing to let her catch up, she kept complaining that she had to pedal like crazy and the motor wasn't doing anything. I got on her bike, and tested it, and it was flying along with the motor.
It was only at the end of the run did I notice she was riding with her fingers around the brake lever and sure enough when I looked the lightest of pressure was enough to trip the brake micro and cut-out the motor. Result one unhappy wife complaining about aching muscles. What I didn't tell her was that I had adjusted her brakes before setting off.

Whoops indeed. You didn't say what reaction you got. Was she delighted at the solution or angry with you over the adjustment? :)
