Does anyone know how to resolve the issue of creaking cranks ?

It's definetely coming from the cranks rather than the motor as the creaking is associated with pedalling rather than motor power output

Remove cranks, disassemble pedals and chainring, clean and grease all threads, reassemble to correct torque. If you haven't checked already, try the pedals first as they're simplest to remove and inspect.

FYI i had this problem and i asked my bike shop to drop the motor, clean, grease and reassemble after trying just removing cranks and chainring. The motor drop, clean and grease fixed it, just removing cranks and chainring did not (although i'd start there).

If it is a crank issue, I would expect just one to be creaking - unless both were loose I suppose, but that should be obvious. Sounds like it may be a seatpost or saddle issue, this would cause two creaks per revolution of the pedals, only when pedalling. You can check this by pedalling standing up.
