What does a asm resistor on a ATV do?

An ASM (Alternating Current Motor) resistor on an ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) is typically used to manage and control the electric motor's performance by adjusting the current flow. It helps regulate the speed and torque of the motor, ensuring efficient power delivery and preventing overheating. Additionally, it can assist in the vehicle's braking system by providing regenerative braking capabilities, converting kinetic energy back into electrical energy during deceleration.
