No. Sounds great.@Supervisor42
I ran the cart about 5 miles today after the first 2.5 the temperature gauge never moved but I was where I was going so I put my hand on the motor. At that point it was warm but not hot to the touch. By the time I went another stop or two then came home the gauge still hadn't moved so I put my hand back on the motor. It was hot to the touch but not hot enough that I couldn't keep my hand on it for as long as I wanted to. So I guess the gauge is or could be working but just didn't get hot enough to move off the peg at 130f. I did make sure the gauge actuated using a lighter before installing it.
What do you think, do I have anything to worry about temperature wise?
In all that running I used about 20-25% of the battery.
If it takes 130° to move the needle, that is about at the 'too hot to touch' level. (I know 140° is )
...When you can boil water on it, then worry.
