Re: (ET) Solid state controls

["SteveS" <ssawtelle fcc net>]

Ah, good explanation. I see now how it makes sense on an ICD mower. With my
E12S, with 'only' 3 speeds forward X 4 gears, I still have pretty much all
the control I need. I do find, however, that any speed less than full
throttle has poor power. I can climb a hill in full throttle that stalls 
out
on lower settings (same gear). That seemed illogical at first, but I assume
it's because the motor has less than full armature current. Does the E20
have the same characteristic?

I presume a solid state control would have the same effect (lower settings
for slower speed sacrifice power as well)?
