Default Got my butt kicked by rxv today

Anybody have a rxv motor almost die it seems like the speed sensor but i have no clue about the motors setup and dont have a hand held. The motor was the problem just wondering if others r having this problem or if i am just a lucky guy. It made a grinding sound under load it was not a good sound

Just curious. Do RXVs really have speed sensors? If so, why? Aren't they AC VFD powered?

Never mind. It's probably a nanny-state speed limiter function.

Do RXVs do regen?

All modern carts have a speed sensor (or encoder, or whatever they wish to call it). The only difference in a speed sensor and an encoder is that the encoder also tells the controller what direction it is spinning. Even if the speed sensor were not used to enforce speed limitations, it also protects from users who would like to find out what might happen to their motor at 11,000 rpm while speeding down a hill.
