Seems I'm killing the front motor on my prefered ride, MPDPM enclosed trike.
Might it be because I transgressed from using 10S or 14S battery packs to 12S or 15S packs?
Probably... since I went from regularly abusing (driving) the tiny geared MUXUS (MXUS?) from 1000-1400W to 1200-1500W
I abused other motors of the same ilk on my other (much lighter) trike destroying the motors @ 30k to 40k KM but that was at a time I was seriously riding long distances averaging about 1000km per week (dry seasons, 1/2 that during wet seasons which were suffering drought)
lil' history bout 'me' and bikes, trikes (1956-2009) and e-bikes (2006-2009) and e-trikes (2011-"Infinity and Beyond!")
2004- major infraction of the 'personal health' kind... reconditioning with stationary bikes up to three hours daily, then back to the bikes! (i lieks to go places whilst 'reconditioning')
2008- found I could no longer mount a 'manly' bike- purchased step-thru bike
2009- could no longer mount the step-thru bike because...
2010- ...barely alive
2011- decided to get aggressive about my (lack of) conditioning and bought first (e)trike -took me 6 weeks to assemble trike because... but eventual success!
...also started thinking/building a trike that suited my needs (better-er)
-conditioning success! started thinking long(er) distance trike cruises (away from home). (no longer tied to home-only recharging so Designed/Built(ing) solar trike
When Suddenly- Crushed by SUV- didn't realize the amount of damage I actually sustained (old guy who thinks he's still 25) so I only had the insurance co. replace trike (soon to be mod-ed as MPPM*)
2012-2013 knees gone... doing 'tricks' (tricky knees) mod-ed trike to drive legs until I could personally drive legs meself. Solar project completely abandoned. Acquire workshop and added solar 'porch' Using Materials from abandoned solar trike project. MPPM completed.
2014 unsuccessful 'reconditioning' Abandone All Hope but life goes on anyway. (because e-trikes)
2015 ditto, 2016 ditto (moar lights on MPPM making it MPDPM**), 2017 probably ditto... "and beyond!"
... did I mention the years pass so quickly I gets cornfused bout where and when so's I do this to remind me about where and when and say "Hi!" "still kicking (nothing)"
TL;DR ...formerly rode bikes 1000km a week, now 20km a week; And I'm slow-w-ly killing front motor with moar pow-wa. Will need motor replacement eventually and am thinking about Lite (because old, slow) DD for regen brakes (because old, slow) because also lazy. Hate adjusting brakes ever few weeks (or months, or years... they go by so fast!)
