Question about peculiar battery behavior

[btroiano]

I’m wondering if anyone might have an idea what’s going on here. I have a Populo Sport V3 pedal assist bike. The last couple of weeks or so, I’ve noticed that when I begin a ride with a fully charged battery, what will happen is that a few times during the ride, the battery charge level will show as dropping down to almost nothing on the handlebar display. If I stop pedaling for a few seconds, the level of charge comes way back up, and I can resume my ride.

Is this an indication of a failing battery? Or could it be trouble with one of the bike’s other electric components.

That would be my guess. How old and how many charge cycles on the battery?

I’ve put probably 200 charges on it. It’s about 10 months old.
