hi folks, the other day i had a hair raising experience, mowing in the 
woods 
on my e10 with 3 12v batteries in back.  i was rolling, freewheeling, down 
hill backwards with clutch in as i usually do in this location,  was in a 
forward 
gear, and when i let the clutch out to slow down the backward movement, 
the 
e10 did such a quick, surprise, wheelee that the nose went straight up in 
the 
air, i fell off backwards and thought it was going to fall over on me, but 
it 
just stayed there.  i crawled out quick and was able to let the front down 
gently and drive off.  i wouldn't have believed it possible.  watch your 
tt, 
torque plus traction, and of course freewheeling is often problematic.
