Motor Burnout

[richiebike]

When climbing long steep hills I'm reluctant to put it in turbo because I'm afraid of burning out the motor, especially on hot days. Is this a realistic fear? I once had a bike that would shut down if I left it too long on turbo while climbing hills. Thanks

You'll have to be more specific on the motor style and if you are on throttle only.

The specifics...it was a 2016 Easy Motion with Dapu hub motor, 350 watts I believe. It had no throttle and had 4 assist levels.
