Just because there are lots of reports out there about clicking grindy Ride60 motors, I wanted to put some balance out there. Been MTBing for decades and so am pretty tuned into clicks and creaks which are ignorable and those that need attention. There haven't been loads but maybe because this is my 1st eMTB and I live in Wales which hasn't been very dusty over the last year, noises tend to kick off "*** is that the motor going?" thinking.
So far (just under 900 miles) All these noises have been fixed by
Re-greasing and properly tightening the cranks.
Re-greasing and properly tightening the headset.
Re-torquing and re-threadlocking the bolts that hold the motor in.
But the thing that made the biggest difference was re-greasing the rear axle.
Now quite as a purring kitten*
Haibike Lyke has got me out riding and loving it this year more than I have for years. How the motor works is perfect for my riding.
Really appreciate the wisdom, knowledge and crack from everyone on here.
*I am aware that I've potentially cursed myself here.
