It's most likely heart rate. Sense 2 is horrible for bike riding. It never tracked my HR even remotely correctly on a bike (always a lot lower than chest strap readings, pretty much random). It may be less effort you give on an e-bike disturbs the sensor readings less but it may also be a random thing (knowing Sense 2, probably is). AZM depends on heart rate so very likely the problem is in the readings. Sense 2 isn't the best choice for cycling.
