Will do, but while we're waiting for Willie's expert opinion on Monday, let me run this past the electrical engineers out there:
It is the controller that is running hot, and the controller "meters out the battery voltage and current to the motor based on some type of operator input such as a throttle. This allows for the operator to control the rate of acceleration and deceleration as well as the rate of speed the vehicle moves at."
Assuming that the recently-installed replacement motor is too powerful (draws too much current) for the existing electrics, could it be that Mrs Fox's going at a reduced speed is actually causing the controller to have to do too much work?
