The heart of your eGO is a strong motor that can handle big hills. The eGO has thermal protection circuitry that automatically shuts the controller off in the unlikely event that it gets too hot. In any case we do not recommend stalling the motor with the throttle wide open. If the throttle is full on but your eGO is moving only slowly, release the throttle immediately. Jump off, get yourself out of the situation and continue on your ride.
