I have never had the shut down issue... I still use the motor too much, due to the hills. Even on flat ground, this bike is just really lethargic. Maybe I get used to the help from the motor and when I turn it off it is too much of a difference, it truly feels like I am riding on 2 flat tires without the motor!!!!
In my situation, I believe this setup to be optimum, as I ONLY ride this bike to work and back.
