Quick question about backing up bike will it damage motor?

[micro23]

I have an e-zip trailz and I love the bike. For the price I'm thrilled.

What is the easiest or correct way to back up the bike? When I back it up I feel a little bit of resistance in the motor and it seems like it cant be good for the bike. Should it be in PAS or TAG mode when backing up?

Or am I just being paranoid and you cant just back it up no problem ?

just back up and relax

Careful backing up, could cause a force feedback in the flux capacitor and start a fusion reaction which could cause spontaneous world detonation!

just don't hit the throttle while backing up, the rest is ok..

if it's a geared motor, the one way bearing is causing the magnets to spin when you back up and you feel the magnetic drag but it's no problem.

I am sorry but i still cannot believe you asked that question

Better safe than sorry I suppose.

I know I felt super stupid asking it too but Ypedal explained it best. When the kids had power wheels back in the day I know it was bad to make them go backwards. I felt this same feeling with the bike so I figured I would ask.

Thanks for all the responses, I sure feel silly
