Welcome aboard!
1. Make sure all accessible cable connectors are fully seated. On Day 4, I lost power to a motor cable that had somehow come undone. Snapped it back together and no trouble since.
2. Also make sure you're not inadvertently activating the motor cut-off switches in the brake levers.
Good luck!

I'm not sure how the brake has anything to do with activating motor cut off switch. How does that happen?

You don't want to have the brakes and the motor working a cross-purposes, so pulling the brake levers will cut off the motor. I think Jeremy is cautioning you not to ride the brakes.

I'm new at this but I am sure I'm not pedaling and braking at the same time.

The motor cut-off switches are built into the brake levers — a very common if not universal safety feature in ebikes. Like @Tars Tarkas said, be sure you're not riding the brakes.

Good, then that's not your problem.
I really appreciate the help you guy's give and believe me I am not a know it all. I am mechanicaly inclined but this is not my wheelhouse but with your help it will be.
