You actually said"
Like I said, it had nothing to do with my RipRacer, but you assumed it was. I appreciate the concern and thank you for the information. I'm currently having no motor issues as of yet, but I'll keep an eye on it when I can ride again. I am having the annoying spoke breakage issue though, so they'll eventually need to send me a replacement rear wheel/motor, but it's unrelated to the motor overheating. I also have an extended warranty on this baby, so I'm covered. Hopefully they're not too difficult when it comes to warranty issues.

I ran simulation on my own bike 52 volt BBSHD mid drive with 11 speed 11X46 rear cassette and realized that in sand and soft conditions that I could overheat the motor pulling to many amps at slow speeds. That was at higher gear ratios that are still below what you must have to get 28 mph out of the bike. It was meant as a heads up once you have recovered.

I could have been much more clear as I assumed nothing but it could be read that way. I was sorry to hear about your accident and that was one thought. Without explanation I commented on earlier posts where you only got 23 miles out of the battery and did some calculations based on other things you said and concluded you might be overheating the motor without realizing it.
