Why is my TotGuard bike motor overheating?

If your TotGuard bike motor is overheating, it’s a serious issue that requires immediate attention. Motors can overheat for several reasons, including overuse, improper settings, or mechanical issues. Continuous use of the motor at high levels without breaks can lead to overheating, especially in warmer weather.

Make sure you are not exceeding the recommended usage guidelines, such as riding uphill for too long or using high power settings continuously. If the motor is still overheating, it could indicate an electrical issue or mechanical resistance affecting performance, such as a binding brake.

For example, if you’ve been riding on steep inclines for extended periods without allowing the motor to cool down, it may overheat. Inspect the bike for any obstructions in the wheel or chain that could cause additional strain on the motor.

PRO TIP: Allow the bike to cool down between rides if you notice any heat buildup.

CONSIDERATION: If the problem persists, it’s vital to consult a professional technician to prevent permanent damage to the motor.
