It started a month ago and was cutting out the power intermittently while riding.
Got worse, then just blew out my controller. Toast.
Got new controller and tested. Under a load, it cut out after 30 seconds or heavy load.
I twist the throttle and it immediately goes to yellow on a full charge.
Got about 6000 miles out of this one, which is the 2nd motor now toast.
12k miles on scooter, and my dog is still not worn out yet. An 11.5 year old Alaskan Malamute mix.
I am not trying to sell you a motor here but I just want to warn you in case you need one that we only have five of these Currie 36V 1000W motors with attached gearbox and axle in stock right now and we will not be getting our next batch of them for around five or six months. I expect that we will be sold out of them in around two months.
Item # MOT-SD361000DD 36V 1000W Motor with Gearbox and Axle for eZip and IZIP Scooters
The DD at the end of the item number stands for Direct Drive.
Yes, I figured as much.
I've seen coupon codes for first time buyers, yet no where to enter it before purchase.
Am I missing something ?

Got one of these motors that's drawing 64 amps and says rated at 32 amps current. It'll run for a few seconds then the controller will shut it off.
Tried already:
Cleaning the commutator
Checking for wire breaks or shorts
The brushes are good. Replaced them with a spare set.
Can this motor be repaired for less than the $250 new price ???
