Hi Steve...welcome to the Forum

Wow!  that's a major fail.

How on earth did the rear wheel almost come off?  Was it case of loose wheel nuts or is it a wheel bearing failure?

I can't see how the power supply would have any effect on the wheel coming loose unless it is pure coincidence.

The immediate thing to look at would be the battery as this is obviously discharging and causing the electrical system to throw up faults.

Keep us updated on how this is progressing
