If you're using it so infrequently, I wouldn't worry about your bearings yet. I used to commute 50 miles to work every day on I-95 and would engage it at least 10 times a day. At least. I've changed batteries about 7 times.
As far as free spinning goes..
I don't understand how that works. I removed my switch from the gas petal and engage it by hand while the motor is clamped in a vice. It seems like it is either off or on. It's supposed to have the 2 stage switch but it doesn't seem to work. There's a pot on the switch, I don't know what it's for. I'll try adjusting it today to see if it does anything.
The only connection the controller has to the car is to the alternator via the batteries. I thought I had the latest version. Maybe not.
