3. Correct, motor is within allowed spec.
4. Both motors I tried are sensorless.
5. Temps were fine. I did let it sit for about an hour and cool. Makes no difference.
This problem occurs even with no load on the motor. Wheels in the air, or with the motor out of the mount. It's not load related. I understand how voltage dips with a load on the battery, but the pattern I described occurs regardless of load (even with no load other than the motor by itself).
this explains it, sensorless motor exhibits cogging effect ( jerking ) at low voltage, or start up. this will cog coz there is no sensor to detect its neutral phase. Try putting in a sensored motor and test and see if problem is resolved.
