Why does my bike engine stop when it is slowed down?

Is there a way to slow down an electric bike?
Instead of reducing amps, read deeper into options. You can set speed directly, and lowering ‘keep current’ will help speed limits work under more conditions, for instance. No need to reduce total power, just tune the PAS. There are some premade settings to be found in the programming thread, on this forum.

Why does my e bike keep cutting off?
Melted or burned wires are an indication of overheating. If the insulation on the copper coil wires gets melted due to overheating, they might occasionally short circuit causing power cut off. If the coils in the motor keep overheating, you might have to replace the motor to prevent damaging the controller.
How does a bike die while going 40 mph?
But other than that it just doesn’t make sense how the bike just shuts off completely speedo / electric and engine dies while going 40 mph. After I safely made a complete stop I was able to fire her back up no problem. Finishing running an errand and while accelerating up to ~35 it dies for about 2 secs and regains power.
