Frustration with new Gazelle Avignon C380

I have had my Gazelle Avignon C380 for 5 months. I have 2 Bosch Intuvia displays go bad and the bike is currently at my bike shop where they are trying to figure out
why. But my biggest disappointment is the lack of higher gearing in the Enviolo CVT hub. When I ride with my wife, and she has an Aventon Level 2 e-bike,
cruising on level ground, with her on eco mode in top gear, I have to have my Bosch motor in sport or turbo in highest gear at 50% higher cadence
to keep up with her. She’s breezing along and I’m working a lot harder. Does anyone know of any modifications that can be done to produce higher gearing with the Enviolo hub?
 
The obvious change to accelerate slower, climb hills slower, and have a higher top speed, is to decrease the size (# of teeth) on the rear sprocket. Or you could possibly buy a larger sprocket for the bosch motor. As it is a bosch, top speed may be limited even with a larger sprocket. Either of these modifications will likely void your warrenty.
Personally, I do not like going on average faster than 9 - 10 mph. However, other people have different goals.
Happy riding.
