E120 800 Creaking noises

[GANI]

I went to head out on the bike the other night and all of sudden a noise seemed to have appeared which at first I thought was the frame creaking etc. It seems to appear only when I am pedalling when under load or without. I think it's coming from the motor BB, but now can't be sure what noise was there before. It's hard to describe but sounds like something is creaking.

I have a video below showing the issue which is there with or without the chain on. Took both cranks off and re-greased etc and checked all bearings around the frame and lastly the seat.

Does anyone's motor do this or is the BB going? I normal check the bike over often and have no memory of this noise before, even when replacing chains etc.

Yes, sounds like a visit to the bike shop is required. Bottom bracket.

Thanks for the reply. Thought that myself but just couldn't remember what was normal!

Heading back today with it.

I know it is a while ago, but what was the outcome?

Hey yeah, the bike shop sent the motor away and got a brand new one. No issues since.

Did take 2 months mind you, but that was a supply issue.
