Was the motor changed under warranty?Probably not related, but just in case...
A month ago my Levo motor started making a new noise. It too only happened while assist was on; it went away whenever assist wasn't working. It wasn't terribly loud, but it sounded kind of like a playing card in the spokes. Kind of a rapidly-repeated click; it wasn't a very sharp sound, but easy to hear and there seemed to be a slight grinding feel through the pedals to accompany it. The sound speed changed as my pedaling changed.
I got a new motor, and it's gone. After looking at the forums, I'm still not sure what it was, but my best guess was that a plastic clutch housing broke, and was rubbing against some internal metal bit.
