The problem: very frequent intermittent power loss from less than a second to 2 seconds. It could be a faulty motor, remote (signal jam), or the electronic control unit (ECU). Back in July 2016, the board was dead. I figured it was the ECU since the motor assembly was new. I ordered a new ECU from B&H and fixed the board. My friend, who was an electronic technician, tried repairing the faulty ECU without the board. He said he replaced a component or two. However, I didn't try it after the "repair". Since this "repaired" ECU was all I had, I was putting it back in. The swapping was easy, as I have done it several times before. Everything looked good after the remote pairing but the wheel just would not turn. OK, what else could be done other than swapping once again? And so I did.
No-load test on the bench (kitchen cutting board) worked perfectly-no intermittent power loss. And now the surprise-actual riding to and from work for two days showed very few power loss. Even if there were, they lasted may be only half a second. Even though I have no idea why it's fixed, I am happy!
