    EP801 4 Month Review

    EP8 noise (bearing?)

    After 2 years, my EP8 has a kind of grinding when riding. Removed and cleaned the pedals, cranks and chainring, no help so it comes from inside the motor. Is it bearing noise? edit: the motor gave in after 3 months of having this noise, no longer providing support.
