Hi All,
I have done some research but are none the wiser with this problem & solution.
I have a new Magic Pie 3 - 20" rear wheel on a GTT recumbent tandem. Have done a couple of short test rides. Have a Cycle Analyst 3 in parallel, but the GM controllers don't yet go through the CA3.
Last night I lost thumb throttle control, but the battery lights on the thumb controller show full.
I also can't seem to connect to the controller via the USB though it is seen as a device on the computer. When I say connect, it doesn't respond.
Now, even with everything disconnected, if I spin the wheel, then as soon as it gets any speed, suddenly there is very strong resistance/braking effect, as though 100% regen cut in (guessing, as I don't know what 100% regen feels like). The wheel turns freely at low rpm but as rpm increases, suddenly the resistance to turning cuts in - not locked, just very hard to pedal/turn.
Is this a controller issue? Is this a phase issue? Out of my depth now. Any thoughts would be most welcome.
Thanks, Peter
