I was riding home with 90% battery going up a very steep paved hill. In total I had been riding for 8minutes. I pulled over onto the soft grass to make a quick phone call and turned the scooter off. I mention the soft grass because it was difficult to move the scooter on the grass.

Made a 3 minute phone call, went to turn the scooter back on and it wouldn't turn on.

I also couldn't move the wheels without a lot of force and even with the scooter turned off, I could hear the motors making noise, not moving, but sounding like they were stuck.

Couldn't connect the app to the scooter either.

Had to call for a ride home.

Got home, plugged it in for a few seconds, then unplugged it and tried turning it on and it turns on first try. The wheels also move freely now when the scooter is off and no longer make noise.

SO what happened, motor overheated? Is this something I need to worry about happening again or did I put the scooter in a weird state turning it off in an uneven surface after climbing a hill?
