WOW
That is one real workhorse of yours.
I can only imagine how much money do you save on gasoline.
If I might ask
how much do you weight.
My Eplus just works normally as new, I am 66kg so maybe 130punds, so it has easy life to carry me, but is powered now on Lithium with often 1350W drawn at over 50km/h speeds.
On nickel factory battery I saw 1100W at the most and breafly.
Why?
Eplus is computerized system with all kind of sensors built into motor. When voltage sags of cells reported to computer reach certain tresholds computer limits power to save cells from more sag. WHILE powered on Lithium A123 voltage sag is minimal so computer does not limit power. So on other hand my motor has harder life and gets warmer than on nickel battery.
Unlike cheap China motors which use external controllers , Eplus cannot be destroyed by heat, overvoltage, overcurrent, you name it.
I just reached 6339kilometers on mine Eplus.
