I'm having similar issues and I think the controller cannot handle too much steep hills. I live in hilly area with 20-25 degree slopes, similar to San Francisco. My 230lb weight doesn't help the issue. I've had my bike for just over 1 month and now have random problems. It will sometimes accelerate without pedaling or throttle, other times power just cuts out intermittently (sucks when it cuts out while I'm pedaling uphill), and other times give E008 error code and completely dies (really sucks I have to walk it up hill). Checked all the cables but the error code will not go away. Once I pulled the controller after I walked the bike home and it was so hot I couldn't hold it for more than a second. I'm pretty sure something got fried. The error code will go away in a few hours after the controller cools down. It'll just come back next time I'm climbing uphill. Waiting for Lectric to respond....
Meanwhile, has anyone found a controller upgrade that can handle the higher amp for a longer period?
