I took my Storm Bee MX out to the trails during my holiday in Southern Utah. It was absolutely hammering a long, steep single-track climb in Sport mode. Near the top, the power suddenly cut hard, not completely off, but felt like it instantly dropped into a super-restricted ECO mode, and I thought I saw a small temperature warning flash on the dash before it went away. I stopped for about ten minutes, and when I restarted it, everything was back to normal and full power.
Is the bike just naturally going into limp mode to protect the battery or controller? Is this a common issue when pushing the continuous power output for that long, or should I be looking into better controller ventilation or firmware? I've tackled long steep trails before but probably this was the hottest I was riding it. It was about 90 degrees outside. Thanks for any insight!
