My problem was what I described as a "klunking" when the motor would engage. It wasn't like what you had in the video. I do sometimes get creaking but those can be caused my a number of reasons and I just grease and tighten everything I can.
As a follow-up to the original post, I went to do a general tighten-up and notice I had lost two bolts which secure the motor. Replacements were supplied by Felt and I installed with blue thread-locker. Seems to be running normally, and quietly without the klunking sound, again.
Honestly, I can't remember the list time I saw an interesting e-bike video from anyone. EMBTB is especially lame, these days with all their recycled and contrived "new" videos. Guess that GCN in general.
I rarely charge mine fully, only if I'm looking at a very full day of riding with lots of climbing or several days of riding without the chance to charge up. I'll usually charge to 80-90%. My battery has been through 21 charge cycles and is still at 100% health (whatever that really means!)
It just seems to have increased in magnitude rather suddenly. Maybe I'm imagining it. At least with 19 months of warranty left I'll either get used to it or it can prove to be something serious. Thanks, all.
I E8000 motor has 800 miles on it and seems to have developed a "clunking" noise. It happens when I'm coasting and not pedeling, but when I begin to pedal again the motor makes a clunk as soon as the motor engages, or maybe a fraction of a second after it engages. It's fairly loud and I can hear...
