i have a code 14 bpm rear motor,some times the clutch sticks.
on a ride tonight with my new bms 20ah shrunk wrap lipo battery.
i had my speedict connected to moniter things.
when the clutch was stuck and rolling down hill,i was getting reverse current going
on the speedict the most i saw was -13 amp.
question is will the bms on the battery allow current to flow through it to recharge.

You can blow the BMS like that and damage the battery. 5 amps is the charge rate.Give the wheel a whack in the forward direction to free it off. I've had the clutch stick a few times when new, but it stopped sticking after a while. If it's a little sticky, a short jump of the front wheel is enough to free it.

yes i know how to fix it.it hasnt realy bothered me untill now
the regen settings in my ecrazyman controler are diabled.
but i was getting 13 amp reverse current through the speedict,
its painfully slow now at 36v =16mph.
so going down a long steep hill with sticking clutch at 25mph+ it must be putting out a high voltage and amps.,which i have done when using lipos.
