Appreciate any advice regarding my CCX that has a strange issue. I've posted about this before, but I think I've narrowed it down but I'm not entirely certain.
When I "start up" the CCX the display comes on fine and things work normally. After a very short distance (like less than 1/4 of a mile or a few blocks to the end of my street) the power cuts out and there is no assist. The display shows like normal but it feels like a tons of bricks just hit me without the assist. I stop the bike, turn off the battery button, and turn it back on while holding down the 'on' button on the display for about 20 seconds. Sometimes it will start back up just like normal and I never have any more problems the rest of the ride. Sometimes I have to repeat the "restart" procedure a few times. Sometimes after the 'restart' when I pedal I can hear the motor/pedal assist trying to come on. It's almost like an engine revving up but then it doesn't go anywhere.
I disconnected the break cutouts so I know that isn't a problem. I checked and double checked the rear wheel spacing. I've cleaned and even replaced the cadence sensor. I checked the connections of all the wires. I checked around the battery connections. I just don't understand why it works fine after I get past this initial issue. Could it be something wrong with the sensor or the display?
Thanks for any ideas.
