I use this like it's my car. I just don't want too lose my job. I would so appropriate if you read this for me. And I have a kid :( Anyway I bought this off Amazon. It was $250 it's a 1000w 48v 10-30aph with a lithuim Ion battery that is 48v 15aph. I have driving it for about a month. I have driven it almost everyday. It goes about 22miles if you help it. So I drove it home today. I ran it full throttle. I usually do because I don't have to go super far. Anyway everything was fine worked perfect. I had to go back to work later. I hooked it up to the charger and took a three hour nap. I woke it was charged. I took it outside to go to work. I turned it on. Nothing all it did was jolt. Like a quit surge of energy and then gone. It last a little less then half a second and it's a weak jolt. Also it tries to go backwards too. All the plugs and cables are fine. Used my neighbors multimeter. I was wondering if it is the motor or speed controller. I'm a pretty mechanical included person so any info would be nice thank you for you time.

Answer
At first my best guess was that you may have overstressed the battery and its now paperweight. Measure the voltagetoday and tomorrow and see if it falls dramatically.

However "Also it tries to go backwards too." sounds like it could be the controller.

Can you connect the motor directly to the battery to test both without the controller? Or test the motor by connecting a 12V battery or charger?

If you arent happy doing this a bicycle or appliance repair shop may help

Does anyone know of this book?

I'm going out on a limb here.
In the 5th grade, about 7 years ago, I read a book about a girl who goes to the mall and sees this electric blue vest. She tries it on and time around her stops. She ends up with the vest and every time she puts it on she has a flashback to a time when her mother was alive. Her mom tells her about some kind of alien invasion and she has to stop it. Later, the girl meets other kids with powers and they fight the aliens in the mall. She sends rc cars and robots to annoy the aliens. At the end the kids steal the alien ship and travel forward in time hundreds of years.
On the cover it had the title written in lightning and the girls hands with electricity arcing from hand to hand.
Near the begining of the book, she's with her dad and the car breaks down. Dad goes to a gasstation leaving her in the car. A bunch of punks walk up and start causing problems. Then they all get struck by lightning.

Answer
I think it might have been the 6th book in the Mind Warp Series.

(aditional note: I just read the back of the book on amazon's online reader and it fits with your note about lightning hitting a gang of kids chasing her).
