One of my wheelchair motors overheats and stops working

I use an electric wheelchair to get around and can only walk a few steps with a wheeled walker. Yesterday I went to my local out of town ASDA, a 1.5 mile trip approx through an alley/Public Footpath, I have done this many times before. This time I was about 3/4 of the way there and the chair started to judder and slow down and pull to the right. It then stopped...
