I appreciate the help! I will look around for something geared. If I were to buy a more powerful motor, how much power do you think I would need, in order pull the gearing I have currently? Do you think that Is that feasible? I have been told that I need more amps to get more torque. There...

It is the one at the link below. 31 amp max. Came with the throttle I bought...

Ok, understood, purposely buying a motor that is higher in the voltage is a waste of time and money. My motor says its rated current is 35.6 amps. So the idea would be to buy a controller and a battery that can supply that amount of current to the motor and hope to not cook it, correct?

Ok, this makes sense. I really appreciate all the help. You can only do so much research, it is nice to talk to people with actual experience. I know I am new to this type of build (my mechanical background is internal combustion), but I could not figure out where the, non existent, hall and...

Oh, I forgot to mention, It only has 12.5" rear tires. Thanks!

Its a mid drive, chain driven. Model number: MY1020 - 36V 1000W. I have an 11 tooth sprocket on the motor and 42 tooth sprocket on the axle. So, if gearing is too tall, then I am overloading the setup. Sounds like I need to go bigger on the motor and power supply to be able to pull the gearing.

I appreciate the response and information. I had never heard of the "false Positive" issue until now, but my symptoms appear like it could be my issue. I have now done a little research into it, but I am still not sure where these wires are. My throttle is a 5 pin that the controller was set...

I have embarked on a project that is a little more complicated than I intended (like most are). I designed and fabricated a "go-kart" frame that fits a 50L cooler on it with room for 2 people to sit on. After doing some preliminary research, I purchased a 1000W 36V motor and (3) AMG 12V 35ah...
