2020 LT42e ELECTRIC - Foot Throttle Problem

[cgodfrey19]

I bought a 2020 LT42e with 12 hours on it at estate sale this winter. It's my first spring with it, and I was super excited. It's incredibly quiet, and the battery life should be more than enough to cut my lawn. The torque this thing has is, to borrow a Tesla-ism, ludicrous.

But for the life of me, I CANNOT get this thing to go any speed other than WARP SPEED. One quarter inch of travel on the foot pedal, and it practically bucks me off. Let off, and it stops on a dime. This is a legimate safety concern. If the armrests weren't firmly grasping me by the lovehandles, this thing would throw me off, with little difficulty.

Is this a known problem? Am I doing something wrong?

Cub Cadet dealer has suggested the potentiometer at the foot pedal is faulty
