This all happened over the course of about 20 minutes and 6-7 miles including stopping and restarting a couple of times.

I did get a warning light come up which was the engine half lit in amber which according to the manual is "reduced power mode". No kidding, more like 50cc moped mode. Actually I think one of those overtook me at the time so it probably wasn't even that good.

Hope this helps.
