Dragging brake(s) will cause the controller to satisfy the increase/current consumption need by the motor to maintain speed. Results in overheating both at the brakes and in the 36V portion, including the motor, of your drive system.

Who ever replaced the motor should be able to do a diagnosis pretty quickly.
