It’s just gonna be slow on 23” tires. Those old regen Sepex motors are way low on the torque output and have a hard enough time climbing hills on stock 18” tires. 23”s nearly cut your torque delivery to the ground by half.

The solenoid with the resistor is the dynamic braking solenoid and it’s common to bypass that if the resistor or the solenoid fails. It disables the dynamic braking, but retains the downhill over speed control which will try to flip you through the windshield if you reach too high speed going down hill or take your foot off the pedal.

Either way, it’s gonna be slow. A complete drive system upgrade, motor, controller, wire harness, throttle system, would be necessary to continue running those larger tires and expect to go up a hill at any normal speed.
