I know there's no such thing as a bottom bracket on these bikes, as it's actually motor bearings that I'm referring to, but I didn't know if they still call it that or what.

I only notice it when I'm pedaling at uber high rates like > 120rpm, or >100 in some occasional circumstances, but I have a vibration coming from the motor. I'd say it's a drone over about a 1 second pulse when it happens. I didn't know if this is just that the motor doesn't expect someone to pedal that fast so it's not balanced (or rated) to do so, or if it's a sign that bearings are starting to wear.

Assuming the mission control app keeps track of mileage even when it's not connected (because I run Belevo instead) I have 471 miles on the bike.
