TodayI went out for my first long ride on the M frame C-lyte 5304, 36V 35A, instant start controler. Everything was fine for about 10 - 15 minutes. Then it went to an odd low power mode where it had a bit of power in the first bit of movement of the throttle but the throttle was dead for the rest of its throw. I turned the controller off and on and it didn't change much. The controller was warm but not hot. I turned the controller off for 5 minutes or so and it came back to normal power for a minute or two then back to the same low power state. I switched to a different pack and there was no improvement - identical low power. I had to climb a steep hill to get home. In low gear I could repeatedly blip/pulse the throttle and get a small boost each time to make it half way up. Luckily I have the Shimano Megarange and that helped. Then I had to push/walk the remainder but that was good exercise on a beautiful day.
On a recent forum someone said that now and then a C-lyte controller was bad. Could be the throttle, probably not the new motor -- What do you guys think?
Thanks,
