My understanding is that an E12S is an E15 without the field-weakening 
throttle positions (not a PM either). So it is a pretty simple machine. 
However, mine does not tolerate reversing without stopping first - the 
reverse relay gets eaten. My E20, on the other hand, seems to tolerate 
indiscriminate reversing pretty well (no problems yet).
