I looked your motor up and the 36V info they show correlates well with
my motor. My motor is about 60 lbs. This is encouraging. One thing I
note is the motor curves for my motor show full-load torque at 65Amps.
Perhaps this motor isn't designed to handle higher amps well. Do you
have full curves on your motor? What voltage do you run at?

heating issues is if we get enough snow for me to drag the kids around
the cul-de-sac on a sled. Then I am pulling sustained amps at very
low RPMs. It's easy to fix though. I just make the kids scoop up an
armful of snow and pack it on the motor after their ride :-)
How much does your motor weigh? You can tell alot about how much
sustained power a motor can handle by its weight. The more copper
there is the more you can abuse it. Mine is in the 50 pound range.
