While I was going up a steep hill my power was cut and I heard and felt the motor resisting to foreword motion.
I tried to turn on and of the controller and nothing changed, the bike was dead. the motor itself resisted to motion by hand.
On my way back I was going down the same hill (with the controller off) and the motor was resisting the motion more and more until I picked up some speed at which point i felt the motor stooping to resist to motion and when I stooped and turned on the controller I got power back and my bike was working with no problem.
I commute the same way everyday and what I have described happened twice so far (about 5 weeks ago and once today). both times the power was cut at same height point of the hill and in both times the power got "unstuck" at the same speed.
about the same time as the problem started the controller had cut the power under extreme stress few times but with no motor resistance.
I do know that usually when the motor resists to rotating by hand it means that phases of the motor are in contact with each other but then why does it happens only under stress at irregular times and I am able to "fix" this just by turning the wheel really fast?
