Is it normal for the chain to make a loud slapping noise when going over bumps and the chain hits the chain stay? There are lot's of marks on the paint on the chain stay. Is there an adjustment to get rid of the noise? It's really loud and annoying. I thought the noise may be coming the the center stand so had it removed but the noise is still there.
If the noise is indeed coming from the chain, I am thinking of removing the chain and ride it throttle only. The ebike is nearly 70 lbs and a real dog to pedal. I get plenty of exercise on my 16 lb carbon fiber road bike which is fun to ride and go fast on. I see no point pedaling a heavy ebike if it has a big enough battery and range.
