Sounds like an insulation fault in the windings shorting them out creating power loss.
It will need a rewire to get it factory fresh bit of a pain, these motor are dozen to the pound so swap it out.
If its the 1000w version with the motor geared direct to the wheel it could be a bit harder to find a cheap replacement, I'd google to see if the armatures can be swapped between the non geared and geared model to make it cheaper, I'm not familier with the xyd motors so can not help with this.

so the power showed red and I charged it and it went green after 10 min.
Granted they have not been used much.
Grinding skipping sound from motor/chain. I can assume thats not a good thing. I just dont want to dump cash into a dead unit.
I need this to get to my mail box and back.
power reads 13V at full throttle.
I do not know that that motor is, im pretty noob.

so what happened do you think to my motor?
I removed it, powered it up and it spinns like a mofo.
under load it goes 2 foot and boggs down.
I purchased a new used one from a scooter recycler guy on ebay for $40.
I changed the controller "Brain" and the output was the same,.
Wow what goes down do the motors get old?

I not sure what you mean , you said in first post you had new batterys and now u have a new controller and motor and the fault still persists ? You will need to perform a resistance check on the motor and look for a fairly high figure 200mohm- 400mohm if its lower there a good chance there a short in the windings you can test the batterys with a lamp full charge the batterys attach a 200w load, few lamps in parallel then measure voltage across the battery to see if the voltage sags down.
In simple terms the copper in the motor has a layer of insulation on its outside to stop each stand shorting with eachother with time heat and vibration this ages and then creates a short in the motor and reduces the power output depending on the location of the fault in the windings.
Brushed motor controllers genneraly burn out MOSFETs and develop a full throttle fault situation can be dangourous on bigger power units.

Doing a resistance test is hard to do on a motor because they have such small resist ace and multimeter's aren't that detailed. An LC meter that can measure the inductance is 20$ and works great
