Help! Smoking Motor;

["J.R.Mcdonald" <J.R.Mcdonald@wkac.ac.uk>]

	I have just put a new motor on my e-scooter and when I wired it up
and took it for a drive and it smoked.  It smelt of Flux and general
electric burning smell.  The motor is a Bosch 24v 750 watt permanent magnet
motor and is being powered by two 12 v deep cycle batteries in series,
through a scoota 24v 120 controller from 4QD.

	The motor is too hot to touch and keeps on smoking for a long period
when the bike is not moving.  

	Any body know what I can do?


	James

4QD is in England and they make some really nice PMDC motor controllers that
are VERY affordable.
