Is it normal for a front hub motor to cause the forks to oscillate/vibrate?
I have just installed a Mac front hub motor with a KT 36/48V sine wave 20a pswpower controller, and a em3ev battery. I'm using Surly Troll cro-mo forks. It pulls well at different levels of PAS, and generally rides as I'd expect. However, I'm concerned that it causes some vibration/oscillation in the forks. It sounds similar to this video ... https://youtu.be/aITlPe3-5SI?t=26
I was expecting a smooth motor sound, not the pulsing that causes vibration. The forks oscillate worst at low to mid current levels, and smooth out at high power/speed.
